GOVERNOR'S LETTER RE: LAND EXCHANGE
San Juan County Commission Monticello, Utah 84535
ATTENTION: CALVIN BLACK, CHAIRMAN Gentlemen:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of January 21, 1975, in which you expressed your opposition to a proposed land exchange on the Bluff Bench between the State and the Bureau of Land Management.
I have discussed this matter with members of our Division of State Lands, and they feel that this is an equitable exchange for the State. We are exchanging 14,880.66 acres of State land appraised at $506,000.00 for 11,464.23 acres of Federal land appraised at 516.000.00 Thus, the lands are being traded at approxi-mately 1.25:1.00, but the appraisals of the lands are actually $10,000.00 in the State's favor. The offered land consists of rough county that is not useable for anything but grazing. It may be that since this is in a primitive area that the Federal Government would keep the land in a primitive condition. The land which we would receive is located just north of the town of Bluff and runs along Highway 163. Studies have been made which indicate approximately 9,000 of the acquired acres could be adapted to cultivation through drip irrigation or sprinkling irrigation. Because the land would be blocked along the highway and be more level, we feel that the land would be more adaptable and more profitable for the State's operation than would be the land which we are offering in trade.
The Division of State Lands has temporarily agreed to not accept any applications under the Carey Act until more studies have been made and until some changes are made in the State companion act. We hope to have such a bill approved by the Legislature this year.
We thank you for your interest, but feel that everything considered it will be to the State's advantage to proceed with the exchange.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Calvin L. Rampton
Governor
Sue Halliday discussed the NYC Program for the current year. Funds are expected in the near future.
