This story on preservation.org talks about how all the trucks going in and out of Nine Mile Canyon for natural gas exploration are causing a drastic increase in the amount of flying dust. That translates to damage to rock art made thousands of years ago.Despite the fact that Nine Mile Canyon was included on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in 2004 because historians and concerned citizens were afraid of this very thing happening.
If you care about the rock art (a part of our heritage), send your comments to the Bureau of Land Management today at UT_Pr_Comments@blm.gov and copy the National Trust at crc@nthp.org.
