I received my letter last Thursday. I talked to the BLM office in Vernal Friday. Yes, they are planning a couple burns. One is out on the West end of Moon Ridge, they plan to burn 15,000 acres. The BLM said they will probably start this burn around mid October. The second burn will be in the canyons around Rat Hole Ridge, where they plan to burn 7,500 acres. They plan to start this burn in mid September.
These burns are all weather dependent. With as much rain that the books have received this spring and summer, everything is still real green and wet. If it stays wet, they will cancel the burns (as they did last year).
I plan to check back in with the BLM again in a couple weeks to get any updates.
