Fulfilling the dream for 102 years LASHEL WHITE
Ray LaFollette
Editor’s Note: Welcome to the Pioneer Association Archive, a look at some of the historical locations in Mt. Pleasant prior to the association’s annual luncheon to be held March 16, at the Mt. Pleasant North Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 461 North 300 West. This year’s theme is “Looking Back in Time.” Doors open at 10:30 a.m., lunch at 12 noon. MT. PLEASANT — On the southeast corner of Main and State in Mt. Pleasant stands a public library. This public library, like many others across the nation, would not have been built were it not for the love one millionaire had for books. Indeed, without Andrew Carnegie’s distaste for money and dream of libraries, it is conceivable that today there would only be a handful of public libraries in the entire country. Andrew Carnegie’s life reads
much like a fairy tale. He was born in Scotland in 1835 and immigrated to the United States with his parents as a child. He started working in factories at the age of 13. Thanks to a combination of hard work, ambition, cleverness, and luck, by his mid-twenties he was an important executive for a railroad company. When Carnegie was 30, he struck off to do business for himself. By the time two more decades had passed, he completely dominated the iron and steel industries of the United States. In an age before government intervention and regulation made monopolies illegal, Carnegie dealt with the problem of competition simply by buying out his competitors. By the turn of the century, Carnegie was incredibly wealthy. Though his holdings did not quite rival those of John D. Rockefeller, the oil mogul, he was easily one of the richest men in the country. However, Carnegie felt that his wealth brought him great responsi-

Pleasant Aquatics Center now stands, just east of the library. bility. He wrote a book, The Gospel of Wealth, in which he proposed that all money beyond that required for maintaining oneself and one’s family should be given to the poor. Indeed, he considered dying wealthy to be a disgrace.
Carnegie generously donated his money to philanthropic causes, but it wasn’t enough. He was earning more money than he was spending. While most of us today would be glad to find ourselves in such a situation, Carnegie was alarmed. If this continued, he
Granary Arts presents new exhibition EPHRAIM — The artwork of Richard Gate is now on display in the main and upper galleries at Granary Arts, 86 North Main Street, Ephraim. An artist reception will be held on Friday, April 12, from 6-8 p.m. Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Wednesdays through Saturdays. The new exhibit entitled, Richard Gate / Anthology, is a retrospective of work created by Richard Gate between 1985 and 2019, a survey of 30 years of work and will be on display through Friday, May 10. Gate has spent a lifetime drawing migratory paths across the northern continent. Working seasonally in Sanpete County from his rural studio, and traveling to remote areas of Canada to fish and Los Angeles to connect with the art scene – these repeated pilgrimages are evident in the evolution of his creative process. Deeply influenced by jazz, rock n’ roll, the alternative subcultures of the 1960s, and the desert rock landscape of the west, Gate’s work is an exploration of the metaphysical and alchemical. Informed by southern Cali-
Richard Gate / Anthology exhibit is now on display at Granary Arts, 86 North Main Street, Ephraim.
fornia hard-edge painting, he uses collage as a primary means of gathering signs and symbols into an orchestrated conversation – a contemporary renaissance collision of science, history, and art. This exhibition, spanning several decades of work and multiple mediums, is a nuanced visual autobiography of Gate’s experiences and visions translated from the pathways of his migratory travels. About Richard Gate Richard Gate was born in the lake country of northwestern
Ontario and raised in the red rock country of southern Utah. Most of his youth was spent out of doors, and except for an awareness of the primitive and mystical animist art of the American Southwest, had very little exposure to art or culture. While living in Switzerland and the South of France as a young missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he encountered the world and landscape of Picasso, Matisse, Cezanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin. He received a Bachelor of
Fine Arts degree from Brigham Young University and a Master of Fine Arts from the Claremont Graduate School in southern California. Represented by the Ruth Bachofner Gallery in Santa Monica, CA; for over 25 years, Gate has participated in 10 solo exhibitions and over 30 group exhibitions. His work has been reviewed in the Los Angeles Times, and his paintings are included in numerous corporate and private collections. Recently his large piece Catfish — Serpent — Star was awarded Best of Show in the Utah Statewide Annual: Mixed Media and Works on Paper 2016 and is now in the State of Utah Alice Merrill Horne Collection. For more information about Gates, visit www.richardgate. com.

MP City to receive new pressurized irrigation system CHERYL K. BREWER
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT—Members of the Langdon Group met Feb. 12 during a special meeting with the Mt. Pleasant City Council regarding the pressurized irrigation system upgrade. The $18 million project will be paid for by a federal grant in the amount of $15,269,925 and with local matching funds of $3,343,121. The pro-

cess will begin with the initial scoping meeting in April. Estimates are that it will take 18 months to complete the whole project. The current pressurized irrigation system was installed 30 years ago and has served its time. The system will be upgraded and replaced. The state of Utah now requires new systems to be metered. Mt. Pleasant has been plagued by water shortages and rationing has been the norm for several years. The new system will address those problems and be more
efficient in water usage. In the past, one system served both agricultural users and residents. The new system will be split so each will have their own system. Maintenance will be easier with improved valving. With the old system, the whole system had to be shut down to fix small water leaks, broken pipes, etc., in a small area. The new system will be created so each residence will have equal water pressure of 40 pounds per square inch (psi). Tracy Allen, Langdon Group designer, stated the
upper debris basin will be converted into a long term storage facility and the new system will also address flood and watershed protection. The two reservoirs will be completed first. Along with the irrigation project, Mayor Dan Anderson said some studies may also be used for the culinary water project the city is also enhancing, since a certain amount of culinary water is going down the river. He said there are many benefits of this project which include saving both irrigation and culinary water.
might die wealthy. Carnegie loved books and fondly remembered when, as a child, the wealthy Colonel James Anderson allowed all the working boys in the neighborhood to borrow books from his personal collection. Carnegie made good use of this offer.
Carnegie became an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable person, for one who had been forced to start working at a young age. He received much of what education he had on his own, by reading those borrowed books. Setting out with a resolve to spend his fortune, Carnegie began a concentrated effort to bring books to everyone, regardless of their economic circumstances. He envisioned buildings dotting the world, filled with books that anyone would be welcome to borrow and read. At that time in history, public libraries were virtually non-existent. Beyond small book exchanges and school libraries, which were often closed to anyone who was not a student or serious scholar, the only way to get a certain book was to buy it, or be lucky enough to know someone who might be willing to lend it.

Council selects Mayor Pro Tem CHERYL K. BREWER
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT — After two rounds of voting, Councilman Kevin Stallings was selected ad Mayor Pro Tem in the event Mayor Dan Anderson is absent. The voting took place during the regular Feb. 12 council meeting. Aspen Hills Blake Llewelyn, Aspen Hills representative, appeared before the council to request a water spigot with a meter be placed somewhere so residents can have better water access and be able to pay for water. Llewllyn said the subdivision association was willing to pay for the spigot and meter. He noted the county had approved the subdivision as a dry one, so most people have to haul water to use. He said several residents are filling water tanks at the city shop and then paying for the water at city hall. After much discussion between the council, it was decided to place the spigot and a credit card meter on about 400 East Main. The spigot would be available for anyone to use, but will have a special recreational use rate. Public works Colter Allen, public works supervisor, reported to the council about his department. In the past, it had been suggested that each person be over a specific department, such as roads, water, etc. Allen said he would prefer to keep the department working as a group citing problems with cross training, certification concerns and taking vacation and which department would take precedent with shared equipment, if the department was split up. Allen said he felt communication has improved between his department and city hall. He said each week, he sets work plans, has an on call roster and will be working with Shane Ward, power department supervisor, on a long-term plan. Allen has worked for the de-
partment for four years, Lynn Beesley, seven months and the department presently has only four employees. Council reports Councilman Keith Collier reported concrete work still needs to be done at the library so water runoff can be directed away from the building. He also said a chair lift is being considered inside the library for disability access. Councilperson Heidi Kelso reported she has been working on the personnel policy re-vamp, then she and Collier will meet with an appointed employee. Councilman Russel Keisel thanked the employees for snow removal at the aquatic center. He also reported the first train car is near completion and that sewer and water has been stubbed into each train car. A master water meter will be used for all the train cars. Keisel said the city is considering building new restrooms at the city park near the horseshoe pits. Councilman Kevin Stallings stated he is looking forward to the pressurized irrigation project that will take about 18 months to complete. He said the city is behind on heating maintenance and would like to have it all done before spring. Councilman Justin Atkinson reported that a designation needs to be made for chip sealing roads this year. He also said a work meeting will be held Feb. 26 to discuss options with Sunrise Engineering on the culinary water project. He also reported the city auditors would be coming that day as well. Mayor report Mayor Dan Anderson reported that Dave Oxman, chief financial officer, will start working on next year’s budget in March. He also reported that a boundary line agreement needs to be done at the industrial park and an adjustment on the deed needs to take place.

Ruling is warning to companies collecting biometric scans without permission NATHAN FREED WESSLER

with the data and obtaining consent. The law, called the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), has been on the books for over a decade. It’s the strongest such law in the nation, and it has provided a robust tool for protecting some of Illinoisans’ most sensitive data against covert collection, use, and resale. The question at issue in the case concerns who is allowed to sue for violation of their rights under the law. The lawsuit was brought by the family of a teenager whose thumbprint was scanned when he went to a Six Flags’ amusement park. Contrary to the requirements of the law, there was no explanation of why he was fingerprinted or how the data would be used. BIPA allows anyone “aggrieved” by a violation of its provisions to seek monetary damages and other relief. The defendant in the case, supported by a number of organizations representing businesses that seek to collect biometric data, including tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Amazon argued that someone can only be “aggrieved” if they can prove that they have suffered actual damages, such as monetary loss or other concrete harms. As we explained in a friend-of-the-court brief, however, that interpretation would often leave “no means to hold wrongdoers accountable for their violations of BIPA’s notice and consent requirements” because “privacy harms are difficult for the consumer to understand at the outset and discover af-
ter the fact.” (In addition to the ACLU and ACLU of Illinois, the brief was joined by the Center for Democracy & Technology, Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Illinois PIRG Education Fund, and Lucy Parsons Labs). In a unanimous opinion, the Illinois Supreme Court agreed, holding that “an individual need not allege some actual injury or adverse effect, beyond violation of his or her rights under the Act, in order to qualify as an ‘aggrieved’ person and be entitled” to sue. “The Act vests in individuals and customers the right to control their biometric information by requiring notice before collection and giving them the power to say no by withholding consent. These procedural protections ‘are particularly crucial in our digital world because technology now permits the wholesale collection and storage of an individual’s unique biometric identifiers, identifiers that cannot be changed if compromised or misused,’” The court explained, quoting a lower court’s ruling in another case. “When a private entity fails to adhere to the statutory procedures, as defendants are alleged to have done here, ‘the right of the individual to maintain [his or] her biometric privacy vanishes into thin air. The precise harm the Illinois legislature sought to prevent is then realized.’ This is no mere ‘technicality.’ The injury is real and significant.” The court’s ruling ensures that the Illinois law remains
a meaningful tool for protecting against invasions of privacy. It will have an immediate effect in other cases, including a lawsuit challenging Facebook’s collection of face recognition scans, also filed under BIPA, in which we filed a friend-of-the-court brief late last year. The decision also stands for a larger principle that in an age when companies have ever greater abilities to amass and monetize our personal data, it is crucial that Congress and state legislatures provide strong laws that both protect people’s rights and allow them to sue when companies violate the law. Legislators should reject self-serving industry arguments, similar to the ones made in this case, that consumers don’t deserve the right to take companies to court unless they can prove monetary or concrete harm. As my colleague Neema Singh Guliani recently explained in The New York Times, “Huge privacy violations have become commonplace. Without a private right of action, consumers have little practical ability to seek relief in cases where their data was mishandled or misused.” Lawmakers nationwide would be wise to follow Illinois’ lead and ensure that people throughout the country have a way to defend against surreptitious or misleading uses of their biometrics and other private and sensitive data.

When I was a schoolboy back in the olden days in Richfield, a couple of friends and I would occasionally make “newspapers.” When we were supposed to be listening to the teacher lecture or supposed to be following along in our literature books while students took turns reading Shakespeare out loud; we would be “taking notes” on sheets of paper in our three ring binders. When we finished our fictional comedy papers, we’d trade them around with each other – and laugh our heads off. We were easily entertained. Some of the mastheads of our “papers” would be “The Burrville Times,” “The Kanosh Planet,” and “The Scipio Gazette.” (Many of you know that these places are all authentic, yet small, communities. I think they were smaller then than they are now, with perhaps the exception of Burrville, which is part of the greater Koosharem metropolis. I’m sure you know where that is.) We would write news stories for these papers with headlines like: “Boy Finds Dime on Sidewalk,” “Mrs. Brown’s Cat Has Kittens,” and “Local Farmer Falls off Turnip Truck.” Names of the people in the articles might be: Seth Headgate, Cleta Clothesclutcher or Orville McGillicuddy. We thought this stuff was hilarious. But you have to remember that we were the same kids who thought that Jerry Lewis movies on television were hilarious too. I still have an original copy of “The Sterling Star” that I made at some point in school. It’s strange now that I live in Sanpete and made a fake newspaper of a small Sanpete town. One of the “classified ads” was “For Rent: a used calculus/trig theory book – excellent for spare time reading.” Since algebra class was the bane of our existence, we’d sometimes put a “math corner” in the paper with our version of a math story problem: “If George and Alice go to the show and it costs George 75 cents and it costs Alice 50 cents; how many pigs are there at Dixon Pack?” (a local slaughter house and meat packing plant during that time.) That kind of question made about as much sense to me as genuine algebra prob-
lems did. I’m still trying to figure out what “X” is. I think we were partially inspired by the small town news, which appeared in the Richfield Reaper at that time. I believe the print edition of the Reaper still runs those columns. Many of the small towns in the service area of the paper had a correspondent who would write each week about what had been going on around town. For example, you could look at the “News of Koosharem” and you could read who had been home for the weekend from college. It would tell you who had broken an arm or hurt their back and how long their recuperation was expected to be. Often you’d find out who had given talks in church. Sometimes you’d learn who had apricots ripe and ready to give away. You might find out who had caught a big fish at the reservoir or up at Fish Lake. As I read and hear the regular news in the media these days, it seems pretty depressing. The endless wars. The constant shootings. The accidents on the highways. People treating other people badly — especially children being mistreated. And on and on. I can’t help but feel we’re going from one “train wreck” to another as I read the news items of the day. (Some days the train wrecks are literal.) And I haven’t even mentioned political news. Talk about annoying and depressing. Sometimes I lean back in my chair and think to myself that familiar question, “Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?” I think of Simon and Garfunkel’s repeated lyric in the song “The Only Living Boy in New York” which is: “I get all the news I need on the weather report.” And then, without warning or premeditation; I think of “The Burrville Times” and the article headline: “Mrs. Brown’s Cat Has Kittens.” Life is complicated and awful things happen. But right now I’m wishing that we had more uncomplicated, less awful news to read and hear about.

Library From A1
found in any city of a substantial size, was nothing more than a far-flung dream. Like many dreams, however, it only needed a great investment of money to become a reality. The Carnegie public libraries sprang up all over the country, and beyond. In the 36 years between 1881 and 1917, Carnegie built 2,507 public libraries all over the English speaking world, from Fiji to Canada, Ireland to South Africa, the West Indies to the United States. In Sanpete County alone, Carnegie funded the construction of three public libraries – one in Manti, one in Ephraim, and one in Mt. Pleasant. All three are currently in use today. The Manti Library and the Ephraim Library, like many other Carnegie libraries around the world, were both built in “classical Carnegie” style. Loosely inspired by the architecture of the ancient world, these buildings are elegant, symmetrical, and raised off the street. The Mt. Pleasant library, however, was patterned after a more modern form of architecture. With distinctive prairie-style lines, narrow windows, and a flat roof with a large overhang, it stands today as a beautiful example of many of the architectural trends of the early 1900s. Andrew Carnegie gave $10,000 for the building and filling of the Mt. Pleasant public library. Though hardly a substantial amount of money today, at that time it was enough to adequately cover the costs of starting a public library. The completed library was officially opened Feb. 15, 1917, and has remained in operation ever since. Today the library continues fulfilling the dream of Andrew Carnegie by giving all citizens the opportunity of self-education through non-fiction resources and literary classics. The library also has an entertaining collection of fiction, movies on disc, and download-

After Carnegie’s death in 1918, public libraries continued to be built, though now with public money. Today, they are a valuable feature of cities all over the United States. Thanks to Andrew Carnegie’s love of books and enormous financial assets, public libraries, just like hospitals and grocery stores, have come to be considered an essential part of a well-organized community.
Today, there are thousands of libraries in the United States. However, few of them can boast the legacy of being an original Carnegie library, like the one that stands in Mt. Pleasant today. The Carnegie libraries are the ones that started it all.

FAIRVIEW-- Calvin Rex Garlick, 85, returned to his Heavenly Father on Feb. 17, 2019. Calvin was born April 26, 1933, to Ira and Hilda Garlick, in Fairview. Calvin started farming at a young age. He grew up helping his dad on the farm and at eight years of age his dad gave him his own cow that he could milk and sell the cream for his own spending money. By the time he was 12, Calvin was helping neighboring farmers with their hay by driving the horse teams and tromping hay for .25 cents a day. When he was 15, he got a summertime job at the Crandall Canyon Mine in Huntington. He joined the United States Marine Corp on April 6, 1953, to serve in the Third Shore Party Battalion. He was on a ship headed to Korea when the war was called off. He served his three years of service in Japan, at the Atsugi Navy Air Station and Camp Pendleton, in San Diego, CA; with the rank of a Buck Sergeant. When Calvin returned home, he bought the family farm from his father in Fairview and remained on the same block for the remainder of his life. Calvin married Mary Lula Beck March 22, 1958, in Mt. Pleasant, and later was sealed in the Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Together, the couple increased the size of the farm and raised their family. Calvin was a member of the Grade A Dairy Association, producing grade A milk for over 44 years. After shutting down his dairy business, he continued to raise beef animals on his farm. He was a member of the Fairview Farmers Co-op and was serving as the president of the board at the time of its closing. Calvin also spent many years working at the Al Rigby and the CO-OP coal mines in Huntington Canyon as well as several other farm jobs throughout his life. There was no place in the world that Calvin would rather be than at his home and farm in Fairview. He enjoyed being with his animals and his family. He had a love for the mountains and enjoyed hunting and watching sports on TV and playing card games and visiting with family and friends. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, he served in many positions. His most favorite calling was that of serving as an ordinance worker for 11 1/2 years in the Manti Temple. Calvinʼs life could easily be put to the quote by President Gordon B. Hinckley, "Fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." That was certainly true in every aspect of his life, even his body. Only after being worn down from years of hard work, did he leave this life behind. Calvin is survived by his wife, Mary Lula Garlick, a daughter, Becky (Barry) Olsen, Provo; a son, Robert (Janeen) Garlick; and daughter, Nancy Garlick, both of Fairview; son-in-law, Mark Sorensen, Spring City; 13 grandchildren; and 21 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way. He is also survived by his siblings, sisters, Lila Albrechtsen, Layton; and, Ilene Greenhalgh, Mt. Pleasant; brothers, Paul Garlick, Bountiful; and Vaun Garlick, Beaver Dam, AZ. He was preceded in death by his parents, and daughter, Mary Ann Sorensen. Funeral services will be held Saturday, Feb. 23, at 1 p.m., in the Fairview Third Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 131 East 100 North. Viewings will be held Friday, Feb. 22, from 6 to 8 p.m., and prior to services on Saturday, Feb. 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the church. Interment will be in the Fairview City Cemetery with Military Honors. The family would like to thank Dr. Allen Day and the many doctors who helped our dad through his many years of health problems. We especially thank Christy Williams from Intermountain Homecare and Hospice, who went above and beyond her job title to make our dad more comfortable in his final days. We also thank Rasmussen Mortuary for their professionalism and care. Online condolence at www.rasmussenmortuary.com.

War on coal is over: Interior announces historic coal projects in Utah
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Department of the Interior recently announced the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) approval of two historic mining projects in Utah – the $12.3 million Alton Coal Tract coal lease in Kane County, and two coal lease modification proposals for the SUFCO Mine in Sevier County, which will extend the life of the existing mine by up to five years. These approvals will further the administration’s energy dominance and economic prosperity goals, leveraging American energy wealth and creating jobs in Utah communities. Through the continued approval of coal lease applications and modifications, the BLM has been able to support the success of coal development on federal lands – including the Alton and SUFCO coal mines. Secretarial Order 3348 made these actions possible by overturning the 2016 moratorium on all new coal leases on federal land. These projects now approved will help foster Utah’s continued economic expansion through access to premier natural resources in the most efficient and responsible manner possible. “American coal jobs matter,” said Acting U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt. “Coal production on federal lands provides nearly 40 percent of our nation’s coal. By approving these projects, we will ensure that these mines are operational for years to
JOEBELANGER
Two historic mining projects, Alton Coal Tract lease in Kane County and the SUFCO Mine lease modification proposals in Sevier County, have been approved by the Bureau of Land Management. The SUFCO mine lease modifications will support employment for approximately 383 direct mining jobs within Sanpete and Sevier counties. come, providing well-paying jobs and affordable energy to the people of Utah.” “The war on coal is over, and the Trump Administration is committed to facilitating much- needed job creation and energy production,” said Assistant Secretary Joe Balash. “In coal towns across this country, the American dream is alive and well.” “The previous administration tried to kill coal production in Utah but this administration is committed to bringing the industry back,” said Senator Mike Lee. “That’s why coal production in Utah increased in 2017 for the first time in three years. These two new coal projects are a huge win for Utah jobs,
Utah consumers, and the Utah economy.” “This lease agreement will bring jobs and generate revenue to support the local economy in Kane and Garfield counties, while also protecting our natural resources,” said Senator Mitt Romney. “Responsible energy development is important to Utah’s energy industry and rural economies, and I appreciate the cooperative efforts of the Bureau of Land Management and community partners to bring this project to fruition.” “The approval of new leases on federal lands in Utah reiterates that coal will remain a staple of power production in our country, and an important economic driver for local
communities,” said Congressman Rob Bishop. “Not only will this coal contribute to our nation’s baseload power supply, it will provide nearly 500 direct and indirect Utah jobs and help fund education. I commend the department for ensuring our nation’s federal lands are utilized in meaningful ways that contribute to our nation’s energy security.” “Alton Coal is an economic engine that provides good-paying jobs that benefit the entire region,” said Congressman Chris Stewart. “This lease is a big win for my constituents. It will allow for additional growth and create more jobs that can support families year round. I’m
Providing sensitive, compassionate health care of the highest quality to our patients, their families, and friends:
grateful for the leadership of Acting Secretary Bernhardt on this issue.” “I am glad to hear about this lease, which will bring new jobs and opportunities to southern Utah,” said Congressman John Curtis. “I look forward to working with Acting Secretary Bernhardt, and the Administration more broadly, on policies that ensure a safe and reliable energy system for all Americans.” On Nov. 28, 2018, the BLM-Utah state office held a competitive sale of federal coal on approximately 2,114 acres 30 miles south of Panguitch near Alton. The tract contains approximately 40.9 million tons of in-place coal and an estimated 30.8 million tons of recoverable coal. The bid of $12,320,000 by Alton Coal Development, LLC, was determined to be the high and acceptable bid ensuring fair market value for the coal. The lease covers a total of 3,581 acres of federal mineral estate, of which 2,305 acres of the surface are BLM-administered and 1,276 acres are in private surface ownership by eight private landowners. Based on an estimated two million tons of production annually, this lease could directly create over 100 new jobs at the mine and indirectly increase employment by 240 to 480 jobs, including fuel providers, and positions in maintenance, grocery stores, and retail stores. The successful lessee would be required to obtain addi-

tional federal, state, and local approval to develop, mine, and operate facilities on the affected public lands. The lessee or the operator cannot construct or operate a coal mine without the appropriate licenses and permits from the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation, and Enforcement or the affected state and local governments, as required by the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. The SUFCO mine currently produces approximately 5-6 million tons of coal per year, with a very small surface footprint. The mine has been producing coal since 1941 and is one of the most productive and technologically advanced underground coal mines in the world. Coal produced by the mine provides for the annual electrical household needs of approximately three million people. The SUFCO mine lease modifications will support employment for approximately 383 direct mining jobs. Assuming most mine employees and supporting employment would be within Sanpete and Sevier counties, these direct mine jobs represent some 3.6 percent of the non-farm employment levels in the counties. About 1,307 jobs in total would be created domestically through direct and induced economic activity. The coal industry on public lands in Utah contributed $748 million in total economic output in FY 2017.
