815 (3) Printed copies of the maps referenced in Subsection (2) shall be available for
816 inspection by the public at the offices of the Utah Association of Counties.
817 (4) The state finds with respect to the grazing zones described in Subsection (2) that:
818 (a) agricultural livestock industry on the lands comprising these zones has provided a
819 significant contribution to the history, customs, culture, economy, welfare, and other values of
820 each area for more than 100 years;
821 (b) the potential for abundant natural and vegetative resources exist within these zones
822 if managed properly, that will support and expand continued, responsible agricultural livestock
823 activities;
824 (c) agricultural livestock activities in these zones and the associated historic resources,
825 human history, shaping of human endeavors, variety of cultural resources, landmarks,
826 structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest are worthy of recognition,
827 preservation, and protection;
828 (d) (i) the highest management priorities for lands within these zones are responsible
829 preservation and enhancement, and restoration and development of historic, existing, and
830 future grazing resources in order to provide protection for the resources, objects, customs,
831 culture, and values identified above; and
832 (ii) notwithstanding Subsection (4)(d)(i), if part or all of any zone lies within a sage
833 grouse management area, then the management priorities for such part shall be consistent with
834 the management priorities set forth in Subsection (4)(d)(i) to the maximum extent consistent
835 with the management priorities of the sage grouse management area;
836 (e) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), responsible development of any deposits of energy
837 and mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, oil shale, oil sands, coal, phosphate, gold,
838 uranium, and copper, as well as areas with wind and solar energy potential, that may exist in
839 these zones is compatible with the management priorities of Subsection (4)(d)(i) in these
840 zones; and
841 (f) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), responsible development of any recreation
842 resources, including wildlife, roads, campgrounds, water resources, trails, OHV use,
843 sightseeing, canyoneering, hunting, fishing, and hiking resources that may exist in these
844 grazing zones is compatible with the management priorities of Subsection (4)(d)(i) in these
845 grazing zones.
846 (5) The state finds with respect to the zones described in Subsection (2) that the
847 historic levels of grazing activity and other values identified in Subsection (4) in each zone
848 have greatly diminished, or are under other serious threat, due to:
849 (a) unreasonable, arbitrary, and unlawfully restrictive federal management policies,
850 including:
851 (i) de facto managing for wilderness in nonwilderness areas and non-WSAs;
852 (ii) ignoring the chiefly valuable for grazing designation of the Secretary of the Interior
853 applicable to each of these zones; and
854 (iii) the arbitrary administrative reductions in animal unit months of permitted forage;
855 (b) inflexible federal grazing practices that disallow grazing at different times each year
856 proven to be most effective for reducing and enhancing rangeland conditions;
857 (c) mismanagement of the wildlife resulting in competition for forage by excess and
858 mismanaged populations of wildlife;
859 (d) mismanagement of wild horses and burros resulting in competition for forage by
860 excess and mismanaged populations of wild horses and burros in Beaver and Emery Counties;
861 (e) improper management of vegetation resulting in the overgrowth of pinion, invasive
862 species, and juniper, and other woody vegetation that:
863 (i) crowd out grazing forage;
864 (ii) reduce water yield; and
865 (iii) heighten the risk of catastrophic wildfire; and
866 (f) other practices which degrade overall rangeland health.
867 (6) To protect and preserve against the threats described in Subsection (5), the state
868 supports the following with respect to the zones described in Subsection (2):
869 (a) efficient and responsible full development, within each grazing zone, of:
870 (i) all permitted existing and future grazing resources; and
871 (ii) other uses compatible with grazing activities, including flexible grazing on and off
872 dates adaptive to yearly climate and range conditions;
873 (b) a cooperative management approach by federal agencies, the state, and local
874 government agencies to achieve broadly supported management plans for the full development,
875 within each grazing zone, of:
876 (i) all grazing resources; and
877 (ii) other uses compatible with grazing activities; and
878 (c) effective and responsible management of wildlife and wild horses and burros to
879 eliminate excess populations.
880 (7) The state requests that the federal agencies that administer lands within each
881 grazing zone:
882 (a) fully cooperate and coordinate with the state and the respective counties within
883 which each grazing zone is situated, to develop, amend, and implement land and resource
884 management plans, and implement management decisions that are consistent with the
885 purposes, goals, and policies described in this section to the maximum extent allowed under
886 federal law;
887 (b) expedite the processing, granting, and streamlining of grazing permits, range
888 improvements, and applications to enhance and otherwise develop all existing and permitted
889 grazing resources located within each grazing zone, including renewable vegetative resources;
890 (c) allow continued maintenance and increased development of roads, power lines,
891 pipeline infrastructure, and other utilities necessary to achieve the goals, purposes, and policies
892 described in this section and consistent with multiple use and sustained yield principles;
893 (d) refrain from any planning decisions and management actions that will undermine,
894 restrict, or diminish the goals, purposes, and policies for each grazing zone as stated in this
895 section; and
896 (e) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), refrain from implementing a policy that is contrary
897 to the goals and purposes described within this section.
898 (8) The Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife Resources, Division of
899 Forestry, Fire, and State Lands, and Department of Agriculture and Food shall coordinate with
900 each other, with counties where the zones described in Subsection (2) are situated, and with
901 applicable federal agencies to develop, amend, and implement policies and management
902 decisions that are consistent with the purposes, goals, and policies described in this section.
903 (9) (a) The state recognizes the importance of all grazing districts on Utah BLM and
904 forest service lands but establishes the grazing zones described in Subsection (2) to provide
905 special protection and preservation against the identified threats found in Subsection (5) to
906 exist in these zones.
907 (b) It is the intent of the state to designate additional grazing agricultural commodity
908 zones in future years, if circumstances warrant special protection and preservation for new
909 zones.
910 (10) The state calls upon applicable federal, state, and local agencies to coordinate with
911 each other and establish applicable intergovernmental standing commissions, with membership
912 consisting of representatives from the United States government, the state, and local
913 governments to coordinate and achieve consistency in planning decisions and management
914 actions in zones described in Subsection (2) in order to achieve the goals, purposes, and
915 policies described in this section.
916 (11) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, and subject to Subsection
917 (4)(d)(ii), the state's mineral, oil, gas, and energy policies and plans on land within the zones
918 described in Subsection (2) shall be governed by Sections 63J-4-401 and 63J-8-104 .
919 Section 6. Section 63J-8-105.9 is enacted to read:

983 preservation and enhancement, and restoration and development of historic, existing, and
984 future timber, logging, and forest product resources in order to provide protection for the
985 resources, objects, customs, culture, and values identified above; and
986 (ii) notwithstanding Subsection (4)(d)(i), if part or all of any zone lies within a sage
987 grouse management area, then the management priorities for such part shall be consistent with
988 the management priorities set forth in Subsection (4)(d)(i) to the maximum extent consistent
989 with the management priorities of the sage grouse management area;
990 (e) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), responsible development of any deposits of energy
991 and mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, oil shale, oil sands, coal, phosphate, gold,
992 uranium, and copper, as well as areas with wind and solar energy potential, that may exist in
993 these zones is compatible with the management priorities of Subsection (4)(d)(i) in these
994 zones; and
995 (f) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), responsible development of any recreation
996 resources, including wildlife, roads, campgrounds, water resources, trails, OHV use,

998 zones is compatible with the management priorities of Subsection (4)(d)(i) in these timber
999 zones.
1000 (5) The state finds that the historic levels of timber, logging, and forest products
1001 activities in the zones described in Subsection (2) have greatly diminished, or are under serious
1002 threat, due to:
1003 (a) unreasonable, arbitrary, and unlawfully restrictive federal management policies,
1004 including:
1005 (i) de facto managing for wilderness in nonwilderness areas;
1006 (ii) ignoring the multiple use sustained yield mission of the forest service;
1007 (iii) ignoring the fact that the forest service's parent agency is the United States
1008 Department of Agriculture whose mission includes providing timber as an important
1009 agriculture resource; and
1010 (iv) the arbitrary administrative reductions in timber, logging, and forest products
1011 activities;
1012 (b) improper management of forest vegetation resulting in the overcrowding of old
1013 growth alpine species and the crowding out of aspen diversity, all of which results in:
1014 (i) devastation of entire mountainsides due to insect infestation and disease;
1015 (ii) reduced water yield;
1016 (iii) increased catastrophic wildfire;
1017 (iv) increased soil erosion;
1018 (v) degradation of wildlife habitat; and
1019 (vi) suppression and threatened extinction of important rural economic activities; and
1020 (c) other practices that degrade overall forest health.
1021 (6) To protect and preserve the threats described in Subsection (5), the state supports
1022 the following with respect to the zones described in Subsection (2):
1023 (a) efficient and responsible full development, within each timber zone, of:
1024 (i) robust timber thinning and harvesting programs and activities; and
1025 (ii) other uses compatible with increased timber, logging, and forest product activities
1026 including a return to historic levels of timber, logging, and forest product activity in each of
1027 these zones;
1028 (b) a cooperative management approach by federal agencies, the state, and local
1029 governments to achieve broadly supported management plans for the full development, within
1030 each timber zone, of:
1031 (i) all forest product resources; and
1032 (ii) other uses compatible with timber activities; and
1033 (c) effective and responsible management of wildlife.
1034 (7) The state requests that the federal agencies that administer lands within each timber
1035 zone:
1036 (a) fully cooperate and coordinate with the state and the respective counties within
1037 which each timber zone is situated, to develop, amend, and implement land and resource
1038 management plans and implement management decisions that are consistent with the purposes,
1039 goals, and policies described in this section to the maximum extent allowed under federal law;
1040 (b) expedite the processing, granting, and streamlining of logging and forest product
1041 harvesting permits, range improvements, and applications to enhance and otherwise develop all
1042 existing and permitted timber resources located within each timber zone, including renewable
1043 vegetative resources;
1044 (c) expedite stewardship programs to allow private enterprise to carry out the timber,
1045 logging, and forest activities described in this section;
1046 (d) allow continued maintenance and increased development of roads, power lines,
1047 pipeline infrastructure, and other utilities necessary to achieve the goals, purposes, and policies
1048 described in this section and consistent with multiple use and sustained yield principles;
1049 (e) refrain from any planning decisions and management actions that will undermine,
1050 restrict, or diminish the goals, purposes, and policies for each timber zone as stated in this
1051 section; and
1052 (f) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), refrain from implementing a policy that is contrary
1053 to the goals and purposes described within this section.
1054 (8) The Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife Resources, Division of

1058 purposes, goals, and policies described in this section.
1059 (9) (a) The state recognizes the importance of all areas on BLM and forest service
1060 lands high value lumber and forest product resources but establishes the special Timber
1061 Agricultural Commodity Zones to provide special protection and preservation against the
1062 identified threats found in Subsection (5) to exist in these zones.
1063 (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to designate Additional Timber Agricultural
1064 Commodity Zones in future years, if circumstances warrant special protection and preservation
1065 for new zones.
1066 (10) The state calls upon applicable federal, state, and local agencies to coordinate with
1067 each other and establish applicable intergovernmental standing commissions, with membership
