These areas are located on the West Tavaputs Plateau approximately 30 miles east-northeast of Price, Utah. Analysis of the road restrictions was included in the West Tavaputs Natural Gas Full Field Development Plan Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The reasons for the road restrictions are discussed in detail within the Record of Decision (ROD) for that EIS, which was signed on July 2, 2010. Restricting the motorized use of these roads is in conformance with the 2008 Price Field Office Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP).

In order to reflect the decision to restrict motorized travel on the four roads, the Travel Management Plan Map (Map R-18) implemented as part of the ROD for the Price RMP will be modified at the time the road restriction order takes effect.

                    On all public lands, under Section 303(a) of the Federal Land Policy and                           ( print page 18246)                        Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1733(a), 43 CFR 8360.0-7, 43 CFR 9260.0-7, and 43 CFR 8364.1, the BLM will enforce this road restriction order for Cedar Ridge, Jack Ridge, Jack Canyon, and Jack Ridge roads.                

Persons who are exempt from the restriction include:

(a) Any Federal, State, or local officers engaged in fire, emergency, or law enforcement activities; 

(b) BLM employees engaged in official duties; and

(c) Authorized persons or their designees for purposes specifically authorized by the BLM to access the restricted roads.

Penalties: Any person who violates these restrictions may be tried before a United States Magistrate and fined no more than $1,000 or imprisoned for no more than 12 months, or both. Such violations may also be subject to the enhanced fines provided for by 18 U.S.C. 3571.

This Road Restriction Order does not adjudicate or determine the validity of any claimed right under Revised Statute (R.S.) 2477. Nothing in this Road Restriction Order alters or extinguishes any valid R.S. 2477 right that the county or individuals may have, or their right to assert and protect R.S. 2477 rights, and to challenge in Federal court or other appropriate venue any restrictions that they believe are inconsistent with their rights.

Authority:43 CFR 8364.1.

Associate State Director.
