The lynx became wiped out in the United Kingdom more than five hundred years ago, and leading conservationists are considering re-introducing the large cat back into the country.  They believe that the cat would be able to naturally control the ever rising number of deer in the area.

Environmental problems are becoming a big issue in today’s life around the world; so is the case in the USA. Recent opinion polls show that the common people of this country are quite concerned about clean air, water and land. This is a new phenomenon recenlty developed among the Americans. Historically the cities of USA were faraway from nature and there were lots of other hindrance too. But as the time moved on, grass route organizations sprung up to safeguard the natural resources and protect wildlife.

But the real revolution in the environmental world of the country took when the first Earth day was observed. In the same year, Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) was also established. The primary objective of EPA was to protect the human health and environment and preserve the environment as much as possible for the future generation. Besides this regulatory body, there are other certain key laws, which were passed e.g. National Environmental Policy Act, which assists to keep the nature clean in general; Clean Air Act to control the air emission, The safe drinking Water Act to control the quality of drinking water. The Clean Water Act helps to keep the water clean and The Oil Pollution Act was established to strengthen EPA’s ability to prevent and respond to catastrophic oil spills.

Similarly there are certain other laws, which were also passed with distinctive objective to protect the resources of the nature. All these steps gave the country a new life and also presented the future generation with a promise of a far better environment.

There has been an agreement between the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) and Emery County to deal with the lease and sell of school trust lands measuring around 2,500 acres by the Emery County. This beautiful piece of land is just located west of the Green River and there is a proposed plan of turning itself into a Green River Industrial Park in the near future.

The first right to buy an area of 1,600 acres of industrial park by Transition Power Development was given by Emery County Commissioner. The said Commission has also plans to sell 640 acres of land to Bluerock Resources, LLC, a Canadian firm for the purpose of building uranium mill. The 90% of the areas of the industrial park is now dedicated either for the nuclear reactors or uranuium plants. The Emery County and the Transition Power Development has entered into such a contract that the Emery County will not be allowed to sell the other parts of the land to any third party, even if then third party offers more money than the Bluerock Resources.

As the deal between the Emery County Commissioner and SITLA has been finalized along with Transition Power Development and Bluerock Resources; the role of the County Commissioner is almost over now. The Transition Power Development needs approval from the Emery County to sale and rezone the land. The Government Regulators at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will soon decide the fate of the nuclear project.
