  • 5.3 PUBLIC LANDS Federally Owned Public Lands in the U.S
    ST. GEORGE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT 5.3 PUBLIC LANDS Federally owned public lands in the U.S. fall under several different designations and are managed by various lead agencies. Forty-seven designated public lands are located within the initial area of investigation, as listed in Table 5.2, Public Lands, and Table 5.3, Wilderness Study Areas, as revised in the Final EIS. Lead agencies for these properties include the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the State of Utah, the State of Arizona, and the State of Nevada. The initial area of investigation was used as a basis for determining which public lands could potentially be affected by the development of the proposed replacement airport at St. George (see Section 5.1.1, in the Draft EIS, for detailed information about the initial area of investigation). The determination of which sites within the initial area of investigation are public lands was made through coordination with the lead agencies listed above. See Appendix M (in the Draft EIS), Coordination with Managing Agencies of 4(f)/303(c) Properties Located within the Initial Area of Investigation, for documentation of this coordination process. Public lands are protected for the conservation of natural resources, the protection of historic sites, and the provision of outdoor recreational opportunities. Most public lands are protected to provide for public enjoyment in such a way that will leave resources unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. Some public lands are also set aside for economic uses and can be administered under the concept of multiple use management, which balances economic activities such as grazing, logging, and mining with recreational uses of the land.

Stark Brief excerpts of copyright material found herein may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, education, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder under 17 U.S.C § 107 of the United States copyright law. Copyright holder does ask that you reference the title of the essay and my name as the author in the event others may need to reach me for clarification, with questions, or to use more extensive portions of my reference work. Also, please contact me if you find any errors or have a map that has not been included in the cartobibliography. 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the process of compiling this work, I have met many dedicated cartographers, Forest Service staff, academic and public librarians, archivists, and entrepreneurs. I am indebted to long-time map librarians Janet Collins, Donna Koepp, and Stanley Stevens for their early encouragement and consistent support of this project. In the fall of 2013, I was awarded a fellowship by The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and the Grey Towers National Historic Site. The Scholar in Residence program of the Grey Towers Heritage Association allowed me time to write and edit this work in an office in Gifford Pinchot’s ancestral home. I remain deeply grateful for this opportunity and must thank Lincoln Bramwell, Forest Service historian, for encouraging me to apply.
