The Bureau of Land Management Vernal Field Office has issued an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Wells Draw Road Amendment - Gate Canyon: DOI-BLM-UT-G010-2026-0076-EA. The Responsible Official signed a decision record under which the BLM will amend the existing right-of-way for the applicant, Duchesne County Special Service District #2, to realign and pave a portion of Duchesne County-claimed road 32 in Gate Canyon. Half of the route (2.8 miles) and one proposed parking area will be on BLM-administered lands, and the remainder on lands administered by the Utah Trust Lands Administration lands (TLA). This decision only applies to the portions of the project location under BLM jurisdiction.
