• W24805946 abstract "In September 1996, Pre dent Clinton proclain 1.7 million acres of sou em Utah as the Gra Staircase-Escalante Natioal Monument. unspoiled natural area remains a frontier, said the president. is a place one can see how nature shapes human endeavors in the American West.(1) With this proclamation, he touched off another contentious battle in the war over public lands in Utah. The debate involves more than just whether the Grand Staircase area deserves wilderness or monument designation. In fact, the question of wilderness seems a peripheral issue. More central, culturally based considerations are whether public lands should be controlled by the federal government or local governments, what role local communities should play in environmental decision making, and whether nonwestern and urban interests should direct public lands policy in the West. Wilderness Act. Henry David Thoreau onced mused that in wilderness lies the preservation of the world, an observation that would reverberate in the years to come (2). It is not surprising, then, that among public lands issues, designation of wilderness areas often elicits the most passion and controversy. Much of this is due to the language of the 1964 Wilderness Act, which defines wilderness as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, man himself is a visitor who does not remain. (3) Under this act, Congress has the authority to designate areas as permanent wilderness and to add new lands as it sees fit. An area may be determined suitable for wilderness designation if it has the following characteristics: It is an area of undeveloped land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions and which 1) generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the impact of man's works substantially unnoticeable; 2) has outstanding opportunities for solitude or primitave and unconfined type of recreation; 3) has at least 5,000 acres of land or is of sufficient size as to make practicable its preservation in use and in an unimpaired condition; and 4) may also contain ecological, geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic, or historic value.[4] The 1964 act established the National Wilderness Preservation System and set aside 9.14 million acres of wilderness in 54 areas, all in national forests. Now, 35 years later, the system protects more than 100 millin acres of wilderness in national forests, wildlife refuges, parks, and lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. This vast acreage is managed by a host of agencies including the BLM, Forest Service, National Park Service, and the Fish and Wildlife Service. More than 95 percent of this acreage is located in the West, which makes congressionally classified wilderness a particularly western phenomenon. Within wilderness areas a number of nonmotorized activities such as horseback riding, hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting are allowed. Activities that are not allowed include new mining claims, timber harvesting, water development, mountain biking, and use of any motorized equipment such as snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles. Preexisting uses of the land including extractive uses such as mining are tolerated until the permits granted for such activities expire, are abandoned, or are purchased by the government. Preexisting grazing rights are also allowed to continue as long as they are consistent with sound resource management practices. These allowances are a compromise between preservationists and grazing, mining, timber harvesting, water development, and motorized recreation interests. New Wilderness In 1976, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act required the BLM to inventory all roadless areas suitable for wilderness classification. (5) This inventory was completed on a state-by-state basis, and Utah's wilderness inventory was completed in 1980. …" @default.
