Agency: Natural Resources Line Item: Utah Geological Survey Function The Utah Geological Survey (UGS) provides timely, scientific information about Utah's geologic environment, resources, and hazards (click on the link http://naturalresources.utah.gov/divisions/geological-survey.html to go to the website).
The Survey does not have regulatory power except in areas concerning paleontology. Otherwise, the agency must "assist,' 'advise,' and 'cooperate with' other groups. UGS is organized in two areas: Support and Technical programs. The two support programs for the six technical programs are Technical Assistance and Administration. The Technical programs include: - Geological Hazards
- Mapping Geology
- Energy and Mineral Resources
- Ground Water & Paleontology
- Geologic Information and Outreach
- State Energy Program
Statutory Authority The following laws govern operation of the division: - UCA 79-3-301 create the Board of Utah Geological Survey. It consists of seven members with various backgrounds. The director of the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration sits as an ex officio member.
- UCA 79-3-301 and 302 allow survey employees to trespass on any lands while on official business.
- UCA 79-3-502 prohibits anyone from excavating for critical paleontological resources on state/locally controlled land without first getting a permit from the survey.
- UCA 79-3-509 creates a special revenue fund known as the 'Utah Geological Survey Sample Library Fund' consisting of donations and interest. The director administers the fund. The Division may only spend up to the amount of interest generated in the previous fiscal year.
- UCA 11-45-101, 201 creates a revolving loan fund to finance energy efficiency projects in school district buildings which is administered by the Board of the Utah Geological Survey, assisted by staff from the State Energy Program.
- UCA 59-7-614 allows for corporate income tax credits for installation of, and production from, commercial and residential renewable energy systems; the tax credits are to be certified by the Utah Geological Survey.
- UCA 59-10-1014 allows for personal income tax credits for installation of, and production from, residential renewable energy systems; the tax credits are to be certified by the Utah Geological Survey
- UCA 59-10-1106 allows for personal income tax credits for installation of, and production from, commercial renewable energy systems; the tax credits are to be certified by the Utah Geological Survey
Intent Language Under the terms of 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for Utah Geological Survey in Item 182, Chapter 2, Laws of Utah 2010, shall not lapse at the end of FY 2011. Expenditures of these funds is limited to: mineral lease projects $1,500,000. Funding Detail Statute (UCA 59-21-1, 2) allocates 2.25% of the state's share of federal mineral lease royalties to the survey. These receipts are a crucial part of the division's revenue, and in recent years have ranged between 20% and 40% of the total budget, depending on current energy prices. Typically mineral lease revenues follow a combination of natural gas and oil prices with a two-month lag, but are difficult to predict due to variable production reporting systems. Statute (UCA 53C-3-203) allocates 1.66% of all distributions made to the Land Exchange Distribution Account (established through H.B. 134 by the 2007 Legislature) to be made to the Utah Geological Survey, to be used for natural resources development in the state. Prior to that legislation, this funding was allocated to the Utah Geological Survey as part of its federal Mineral Lease royalties. Beginning with FY 2010, 1% of the deposits remaining in the account (after the appropriation is made in accordance with Subsection (4)(a) to UGS) is to be used for test wells, other hydrological studies, and air quality monitoring in the West Desert. | Sources of Finance | 2008

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Geologic Hazards Function The purpose of the Geologic Hazards program is to help protect Utah citizens by reducing losses from geologic hazards. This is done by characterizing significant landslide and earthquake risks, completing detailed hazard maps (1:24,000) for major urban areas, helping state and local government agencies responsibly address hazards, and promoting hazard reduction through education. This program's objective is to improve the geologic safety of essential public facilities and proposed development, to improve understanding of geologic hazards, to minimize adverse interaction between human activities and the geologic environment, and to respond to geologic-hazard emergencies.

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Geologic Mapping Function The Geologic Mapping program produces printed and digital geologic maps, most at 1:100,000 and 1:24,000 scales. Mapping priorities are set each year by a State Mapping Advisory Committee represented the main land management agencies in the state. Program goals are to complete 1:100,000 scale maps by 2015 and map selected areas at 1:24,000 in the rapid urban growth areas as priorities dictate. Maps provide detailed geologic information needed for proper land use decisions. Funding Detail | Sources of Finance | 2008

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Energy and Minerals Function The Energy and Minerals program encourages energy and mineral resource development through a variety of studies to inventory and characterize the state's deposits. Many of these projects are funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Geological Survey, or the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and may include industry, academic, or consulting partners. The results of these projects help industry, the general public, and other governmental agencies make decisions about managing and developing resources in Utah.

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Information and Outreach Function This program answers public inquiries, performs public, teacher, and media outreach, prepares translated publications for a non-technical audience, manages the UGS web site (geology.utah.gov), manages the DNR Bookstore and its web site (mapstore.utah.gov) and the DNR Library. The program also prepares publications for non-technical users of UGS information. Performance The number of items sold in the DNR Booksotre has been declining for several reasons. The Internet provides a lot of free information and products these days. Hunters and anglers, the primary customers for maps in the past, can now get that information on-line or use products such as Google Maps or Google Earth. In addition to these global factors, the UTA tracks project outside DNR Bookstore has also reduced the walk-in traffic to the store.  Funding Detail Dedicated Credits come mostly from sales at the DNR bookstore. | Sources of Finance | 2008

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Utah State Energy Program Function The Utah State Energy Program (USEP) was transferred from DNR's Division of Energy to UGS in FY 2006. It promotes renewable energy and energy efficiency and conservation throughout the state. This is done through the administration of incentive programs such as the Renewable Energy Tax Credit (UCA 59-7-614, UCA 59-10-1014, UCA 59-10-1106) and Public Facilities Energy Efficiency Pilot Program. Support is given to the development of wind energy in the state through the Anemometer Loan Program and other USEP activities that aid in characterizing the state's wind resources and providing other assistance to prospective wind developers. USEP also serves as a repository of technical and policy information that is used by government and private partners in the development of energy programs and policies. Public information is an important aspect of USEP's activities. The program supports and manages state working groups on energy efficiency, and geothermal, wind, and solar energy. USEP also maintains an extensive set of energy information tables and figures on the UGS website to assist both the general public and researchers regarding Utah's energy production, consumptions, resources, and prices.
