Background

The Natural Resources Impact Working Group has been convened in March 2006 to review the impacts of natural resource extraction activity on communities and counties in rural Utah, to develop ways to educate local officials on how to more effectively address those impacts, and to make recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature. Members of the public are asked to submit their comments to a member of the Working Group for presentation to the Group.
