Scorched earth runs along the highway to the fence line of homes in Saratoga Springs from a recent fire caused by target shooters. Signs of illegal dumping are obvious among the foothills west of Utah Lake near Lake Mountain; ironically, less than 10 miles away from the Bay View Landfill. These are areas that get a lot of use because of their proximity to the population centers of the Wasatch Front.

Blocks of School and Institutional Trust Land checkerboard the area with signs indicating trust land boundaries, but some users don’t differentiate these boundaries as different from the surrounding land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
This week on the County Seat we will investigate the impacts that some recreational users are having on trusts lands near Lake Mountain. Illegal dumping, target shooting and rogue ATV trails are creating challenges for SITLA, the agency charged with managing trust lands to benefit the school children of Utah.

ABOUT THE COUNTY SEAT: The County Seat is a public affairs program about the functions and issues of county elected officials and county government in UTAH. The County Seat is designed to provide the essentials to being an informed and engaged citizens in what we view as the most important level of government to daily life, county government. Topics range from the life of a ballot to the wild horses on public lands. The majority of Utah’s 29 counties are rural with a concentration of urban issues along the Wasatch Front. This dynamic lends an interesting twist to the show where we highlight a number of rural issues that the majority of Utahns may not be as familiar with. #CountiesMatter #CoutySeatS10E38
