Agency: Natural Resources

Line Item: Utah Geological Survey

Function

Mission: The Utah Geological Survey (UGS) provides timely, scientific information about Utah's geologic environment, resources, and hazards.

Vision: All Utahns are aware of geologic and energy information, and use it to improve their lives.

Values:

  • The generation and dissemination of geologic information
  • Excellence, integrity, and objectivity in everything we do
  • Responsible stewardship of Utah's geologic and energy resources
  • Free exchange of ideas and information in a spirit of cooperation
  • The worth and dignity of individuals
  • Providing prompt and courteous service to our customers.

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 five 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

Statutory Authority

The following laws govern operation of the division:

  • UCA 79-3-301 creates 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.

Intent Language

    Under the terms of 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for the Utah Geological Survey in Item 15, Chapter 6, Laws of Utah 2012, shall not lapse at the close of FY 2013. Expenditures of these funds are limited to: Mineral Lease Projects $1,500,000; Computer Equipment/Software $60,000; Equipment/Supplies $40,000; Employee Training/Incentives $30,000.

Performance

The following are the top measures chosen by division management to gauge the success of its programs.

Publications: Statute requires the Utah Geological Survey to prepare, publish and distribute maps and reports of the geology of the state. This measure keeps track of UGS' publications, which include geologic maps, books, and reports.

Publications

Hazardous Events: The second measure keeps track of the geologic emergencies division staff has responded to over time.

GeoHazards

Division management hopes that the number of geologic emergencies will be low, which would mean that Utah had few hazardous events. However, these events are driven more by nature than by division personnel.

Spending on Assessing Energy and Mineral Resources: The third measure tracks the division expenditures while identifying, inventorying, assessing, and encouraging the prudent development of Utah's minerals and energy.

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.

During FY 2013 it became evident that the diminishing funds from the account, and the modified funding mechanism for dispersing these funds, meant a negative impact on the groundwater monitoring in the West Desert.

Program: 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.

Program: 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 representing the main land management agencies in the state. Program goals are to complete 1:100,000 scale maps by 2018 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.

Program: 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. This program also maintains the Utah Core Research Center, which contains cuttings from wells and cores across the state.
