PRICE, Utah — The Bureau of Land Management’s Vernal Field Office today opened a 30-day public scoping period to receive public input on a proposal to re-open a portion of the Taylor Flat Airstrip. The comment period ends April 3, 2025.
The Taylor Flat Airstrip was originally constructed in the 1960s and reclaimed in the 1990s. Daggett County has requested a right-of-way for a portion of the access road and airstrip that lies outside the Green River Wild and Scenic River corridor and the Browns Park ACEC. The proposal would allow public aviation use of the dirt airstrip.
Public scoping helps the BLM identify potential issues and concerns related to the proposal. The BLM will analyze public input and consider potential environmental and resource impacts before making a decision.
Maps, project details, and instructions on how to submit comments are available on the BLM National NEPA Register at the BLM National NEPA Register.
