Mission:

To research and implement solutions to issues affecting Moffat County Natural Resources, and provide background knowledge and council to Moffat County Commissioners relating to County impacts from Natural Resource issues.

Justification:

The Natural Resources Department provides background information, knowledge, and a method of implementing management and policies which represent Moffat County's interests. The Natural Resources Department is especially crucial since Moffat County is 65% owned or managed by state and federal governments, which have drastic impacts on Moffat County's revenue and the custom and culture, private property rights, and multiple use issues on lands in Moffat County.

The Moffat County Natural Resources Department is currently involved in the following issues:

  • Proposed Wilderness Areas
  • Sage Grouse Management Planning
  • Moffat County Minerals program
  • Cooperating Agency status:
    • Dinosaur National Monument Livestock Grazing Plan
    • Transbasin water diversions
