Utah Admin. Code R650-301-6 - Off-Highway Vehicle Access Protection Grants

(1) Granted funds for Access Protection may be used:

(a) for projects that further the interest of preserving existing off-highway vehicle access on Utah's public lands;

(b) for projects that further the efforts of Utah counties or Utah municipalities to document the existence of public rights of way under Section 72-5-104; or

(c) if the project is one that includes costs related to litigation or other legal work, for a project where the Division, at is sole discretion, determines:

(i) that the Access Protection litigation or legal work is not unnecessarily duplicative of other Access Protection litigation or legal work already being undertaken, or that is expected to be undertaken, by another State agency or political subdivision;

(ii) that the Access Protection litigation or other legal work does not conflict with other Access Protection litigation or other legal work currently being undertaken, or that is expected to be undertaken, by another State agency or political subdivision; and

(iii) that the granted funds, when combined with the grant recipient's match, will be sufficient to produce a deliverable product that substantially advances the interests of Access Protection.

(2) No granted funds may be used:

(a) to bring suit, or assert any claim, against private landowners or any Utah State agency or political subdivision;

(b) for overhead expenses; or

(c) for travel expenses which the Division, at its sole discretion, determines are unnecessary or unreasonable.
