Miscellaneous Utah Wilderness Documents
Utah Division of Wildlife Resource Draft Wolf Management Plan (2005)
Produced after a two-year public process, the Utah DWR wolf management plan offers two goals: to study and facilitate the movement of wolves back to Utah after a 75-year absence, and to mitigate the effects of livestock depredation by wolves.
The United States General Accounting Office issued this opinion in response to a request from Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), ranking minority member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The GAO concluded that the Department of Interior has authority under FLPMA to grant RS 2477 rights of way to states and counties without the need for an additional act of Congress.
