959 (3) Printed copies of the maps referenced in Subsection (2) shall be available for
960 inspection by the public at the offices of the Utah Association of Counties.
961 (4) The state finds with respect to the grazing zones described in Subsection (2) that:
962 (a) agricultural livestock industry on the lands comprising these zones has provided a
963 significant contribution to the history, customs, culture, economy, welfare, and other values of
964 each area for more than 100 years;
965 (b) the potential for abundant natural and vegetative resources exist within these zones
966 if managed properly, that will support and expand continued, responsible agricultural livestock
967 activities and wildlife habitat;
968 (c) agricultural livestock activities in these zones and the associated historic resources,
969 human history, shaping of human endeavors, variety of cultural resources, landmarks,
970 structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest are worthy of recognition,
971 preservation, and protection;
972 (d) (i) the highest management priority for lands within these zones is the preservation,
973 restoration, and enhancement of watershed and rangeland health to sustain and expand forage
974 production for both livestock grazing and wildlife habitat, and the restoration and development
975 of historic, existing, and future livestock grazing and wildlife habitat resources in order to
976 provide protection for the resources, objects, customs, culture, and values identified above; and
977 (ii) notwithstanding Subsection (4)(d)(i), if part or all of any zone lies within a sage
978 grouse management area, then the management priorities for such part shall be consistent with
979 the management priorities set forth in Subsection (4)(d)(i) to the maximum extent consistent
980 with the management priorities of the sage grouse management area;
981 (e) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), responsible development of any deposits of energy
982 and mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, oil shale, oil sands, coal, phosphate, gold,
983 uranium, and copper, as well as areas with wind and solar energy potential, that may exist in
984 these zones is compatible with the management priorities of Subsection (4)(d)(i) in these
985 zones; and
986 (f) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), responsible development of any recreation

987 resources, including roads, campgrounds, water resources, trails, OHV use, sightseeing,
988 canyoneering, hunting, fishing, trapping, and hiking resources that may exist in these grazing
989 zones is compatible with the management priorities of Subsection (4)(d)(i) in these grazing
990 zones.
991 (5) The state finds with respect to the zones described in Subsection (2) that the
992 historic levels of livestock grazing activity and other values identified in Subsection (4) in each
993 zone have greatly diminished, or are under other serious threat, due to:
994 (a) unreasonable, arbitrary, and unlawfully restrictive federal management policies,
995 including:
996 (i) de facto managing for wilderness in nonwilderness areas and non-WSAs;
997 (ii) ignoring the chiefly valuable for grazing designation of the Secretary of the Interior
998 applicable to each of these zones; and
999 (iii) the arbitrary administrative reductions in animal unit months of permitted forage;
1000 (b) inflexible federal grazing practices that disallow grazing at different times each year
1001 proven to be most effective for maintaining and enhancing rangeland conditions;
1002 (c) mismanagement of wild horses and burros resulting in competition for forage by
1003 excess and mismanaged populations of wild horses and burros in Beaver and Emery counties;
1004 (d) improper management of vegetation resulting in the overgrowth of pinion, invasive
1005 species, and juniper, and other woody vegetation that:
1006 (i) compromise watershed and rangeland health;
1007 (ii) crowd out grazing forage;
1008 (iii) degrade habitat and limit wildlife populations;
1009 (iv) reduce water yield; and
1010 (v) heighten the risk of catastrophic wildfire; and
1011 (e) other practices which degrade overall rangeland health.
1012 (6) To protect and preserve against the threats described in Subsection (5), the state
1013 supports the following with respect to the zones described in Subsection (2):
1014 (a) efficient and sustained policies, programs, and practices directed at preserving,
1015 restoring, and enhancing watershed and rangeland health to maximize:
1016 (i) all permitted forage production for livestock grazing and other compatible uses,
1017 including flexible grazing on and off dates adaptive to yearly climate and range conditions; and

1018 (ii) forage for fish and wildlife;
1019 (b) a cooperative management approach by federal agencies, the state, and local
1020 government agencies to achieve broadly supported management plans for the full development
1021 of:
1022 (i) forage resources for grazing livestock and wildlife; and
1023 (ii) other uses compatible with livestock grazing and wildlife utilization;
1024 (c) effective and responsible management of wild horses and burros to eliminate excess
1025 populations; and
1026 (d) effective and responsible management of wildlife habitat.
1027 (7) The state requests that the federal agencies that administer lands within each
1028 grazing zone:
1029 (a) fully cooperate and coordinate with the state and the respective counties within
1030 which each grazing zone is situated, to develop, amend, and implement land and resource
1031 management plans, and implement management decisions that are consistent with the
1032 purposes, goals, and policies described in this section to the maximum extent allowed under
1033 federal law;
1034 (b) expedite the processing, granting, and streamlining of grazing permits, range
1035 improvements, and applications to enhance and otherwise develop all existing and permitted
1036 grazing resources located within each grazing zone, including renewable vegetative resources;
1037 (c) allow continued maintenance and increased development of roads, power lines,
1038 pipeline infrastructure, and other utilities necessary to achieve the goals, purposes, and policies
1039 described in this section and consistent with multiple use and sustained yield principles;
1040 (d) refrain from any planning decisions and management actions that will undermine,
1041 restrict, or diminish the goals, purposes, and policies for each grazing zone as stated in this
1042 section; and
1043 (e) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), refrain from implementing a policy that is contrary
1044 to the goals and purposes described within this section.
1045 (8) (a) The state recognizes the importance of all grazing districts on Utah BLM and
1046 Forest Service lands but establishes the grazing zones described in Subsection (2) to provide
1047 special protection and preservation against the identified threats found in Subsection (5) to
1048 exist in these zones.

1049 (b) It is the intent of the state to designate additional grazing agricultural commodity
1050 zones in future years, if circumstances warrant special protection and preservation for new
1051 zones.
1052 (9) The state calls upon applicable federal, state, and local agencies to coordinate with
1053 each other and establish applicable intergovernmental standing commissions, with membership
1054 consisting of representatives from the United States government, the state, and local
1055 governments to coordinate and achieve consistency in planning decisions and management
1056 actions in zones described in Subsection (2) in order to achieve the goals, purposes, and
1057 policies described in this section.
1058 (10) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, and subject to Subsection
1059 (4)(d)(ii), the state's mineral, oil, gas, and energy policies and plans on land within the zones
1060 described in Subsection (2) shall be governed by Sections 63J-4-401 and 63J-8-104 .
1061 Section 6. Section 63J-8-105.9 is enacted to read:

1168 product resources in order to provide protection for the resources, objects, customs, culture,
1169 and values identified above; and
1170 (ii) notwithstanding Subsection (4)(d)(i), if part or all of any zone lies within a sage
1171 grouse management area, then the management priorities for such part shall be consistent with
1172 the management priorities set forth in Subsection (4)(d)(i) to the maximum extent consistent

1173 with the management priorities of the sage grouse management area;
1174 (e) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), responsible development of any deposits of energy
1175 and mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, oil shale, oil sands, coal, phosphate, gold,
1176 uranium, and copper, as well as areas with wind and solar energy potential, that may exist in
1177 these zones is compatible with the management priorities of Subsection (4)(d)(i) in these
1178 zones; and
1179 (f) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), responsible development of any recreation
1180 resources, including wildlife, roads, campgrounds, water resources, trails, OHV use,
1181 sightseeing, canyoneering, hunting, fishing, trapping, and hiking resources that may exist in
1182 these timber zones is compatible with the management priorities of Subsection (4)(d)(i) in
1183 these timber zones.
1184 (5) The state finds that the historic levels of timber, logging, and forest products
1185 activities in the zones described in Subsection (2) have greatly diminished, or are under serious
1186 threat, due to:
1187 (a) unreasonable, arbitrary, and unlawfully restrictive federal management policies,
1188 including:
1189 (i) de facto managing for wilderness in nonwilderness areas;
1190 (ii) ignoring the multiple use sustained yield mission of the forest service;
1191 (iii) ignoring the fact that the forest service's parent agency is the United States
1192 Department of Agriculture whose mission includes providing timber as an important
1193 agriculture resource; and
1194 (iv) the arbitrary administrative reductions in timber, logging, and forest products
1195 activities;
1196 (b) improper management of forest vegetation resulting in the overcrowding of old
1197 growth alpine species and the crowding out of aspen diversity, all of which results in:
1198 (i) devastation of entire mountainsides due to insect infestation and disease;
1199 (ii) reduced water yield;
1200 (iii) increased catastrophic wildfire;
1201 (iv) increased soil erosion;
1202 (v) degradation of wildlife habitat; and
1203 (vi) suppression and threatened extinction of important rural economic activities; and

1204 (c) other practices that degrade overall forest health.
1205 (6) To protect and preserve the threats described in Subsection (5), the state supports
1206 the following with respect to the zones described in Subsection (2):
1207 (a) efficient and responsible development, within each timber zone, of:
1208 (i) robust timber thinning and harvesting programs and activities; and
1209 (ii) other uses compatible with increased timber, logging, and forest product activities
1210 including a return to historic levels of timber, logging, and forest product activity in each of
1211 these zones;
1212 (b) a cooperative management approach by federal agencies, the state, and local
1213 governments to achieve broadly supported management plans for the full development, within
1214 each timber zone, of:
1215 (i) forest product resources; and
1216 (ii) other uses compatible with timber activities; and
1217 (c) effective and responsible management of wildlife habitat.
1218 (7) The state requests that the federal agencies that administer lands within each timber
1219 zone:
1220 (a) fully cooperate and coordinate with the state and the respective counties within
1221 which each timber zone is situated, to develop, amend, and implement land and resource
1222 management plans and implement management decisions that are consistent with the purposes,
1223 goals, and policies described in this section to the maximum extent allowed under federal law;
1224 (b) expedite the processing, granting, and streamlining of logging and forest product
1225 harvesting permits, range improvements, and applications to enhance and otherwise develop
1226 existing and permitted timber resources located within each timber zone, including renewable
1227 vegetative resources;
1228 (c) expedite stewardship programs to allow private enterprise to carry out the timber,
1229 logging, and forest activities described in this section;
1230 (d) allow continued maintenance and increased development of roads, power lines,
1231 pipeline infrastructure, and other utilities necessary to achieve the goals, purposes, and policies
1232 described in this section and consistent with multiple use and sustained yield principles;
1233 (e) refrain from any planning decisions and management actions that will undermine,
1234 restrict, or diminish the goals, purposes, and policies for each timber zone as stated in this

1235 section; and
1236 (f) subject to Subsection (4)(d)(ii), refrain from implementing a policy that is contrary
1237 to the goals and purposes described within this section.
1238 (8) (a) The state recognizes the importance of all areas on BLM and Forest Service
1239 lands high value lumber and forest product resources but establishes the special Timber
1240 Agricultural Commodity Zones to provide special protection and preservation against the
1241 identified threats found in Subsection (5) to exist in these zones.
1242 (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to designate Additional Timber Agricultural
1243 Commodity Zones in future years, if circumstances warrant special protection and preservation
1244 for new zones.
1245 (9) The state calls upon applicable federal, state, and local agencies to coordinate with
1246 each other and establish applicable intergovernmental standing commissions, with membership
1247 consisting of representatives from the United States government, the state, and local
1248 governments to coordinate and achieve consistency in planning decisions and management
1249 actions in the zones described in Subsection (2).
1250 (10) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, and subject to Subsection
1251 (4)(d)(ii), the state's mineral, oil, gas, and energy policies, as well as its grazing policies, on
1252 land within zones described in Subsection (2), shall continue to be governed by Sections
1253 63J-4-401 and 63J-8-104 .
