Extractions: Regulatory Matters Judge Rejects Bush Plan to Allow Snowmobiles in Yellowstone Published On: 01/12/2004 01:58 PM A federal judge strongly rebuked the Bush administration on Dec. 16 for rescinding a Clinton-era plan to phase out snowmobile use in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan called the administrations action completely politically driven and result oriented pointing out that it ran counter to scientific evidence and reinstated the phase-out just hours before the start of the snowmobile season. Sullivan noted one study that found Yellowstone at times had carbon monoxide levels as high as Los Angeles. The phase-out, which was supported by a 99-1 margin in public comments to the National Park Service, requires a 50 percent reduction in snowmobiles this winter allowing for 490 snowmobiles per day in Yellowstone and 50 per day in Grand Teton and a total ban for the 2004-05 season. The Bush administration had sought to allow nearly 1,000 snowmobiles per day in Yellowstone. The administration contended that new standards for cleaner and quieter engines would negate the vehicles adverse health and environmental impacts. However, Sullivan cited scientific analysis by the National Park Service that concluded there would still be significant harm to the health of park wildlife, visitors, and employees. Compared to an outright snowmobile ban, the Bush plan would have allowed

Late yesterday, a federal judge reaffirmed the government's responsibility to provide the highest protection in America's national parks. Judge Emmett Sullivan blocked a decision by the Bush Administration to continue snowmobile use in Yellowstone National Park. In its own study this year, the Administration concluded that even the latest-technology snowmobiles would cause air and noise pollution and health risks for workers, visitors and wildlife. Tuesday's court ruling requires a phase-out of snowmobiles to begin in Yellowstone. The decision drew immediate praise from a variety of citizens and experts: "Yellowstone is where our country first said, 'This is what our national parks mean to us.' This ruling reaffirms that fundamental purpose. Our duty is to take care of our national parks as fully as possible so that we pass them in good health to our grandchildren. Had we let that principle slip in Yellowstone to benefit the snowmobile industry, it would have set a terrible precedent in all our national parks." Denis P. Galvin, Deputy Director of the National Park Service under presidents Reagan, Clinton and during the first year of President George W. Bush's administration. Phone: 406-581-6489

Extractions: The cinema is 450km north of the Arctic Circle The new cinema in the Norwegian town of Kautokeino is somewhat out of the ordinary. Not only is it entirely made out of snow - it is a drive-in. For snow mobiles. "We always wanted to create a different film experience," explains Anne Lajla Utsi, the leader of the Kautokeino Sami film festival. "As far as we know, this is a world first." She told BBC News Online the idea of an outdoor winter cinema has been around for a few years. "This year we had the opportunity to make it real, during the film festival here." Temperatures rarely rise above freezing after nightfall While spring has come to much of Norway, there is no lack of snow in Kautokeino, 450km north of the Arctic Circle. Ms Utsi says one of the ideas behind the cinema was to use the natural resources of the area to create a cultural institution with a difference.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming (AP) A federal judge blocked severe restrictions on snowmobiles in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks Tuesday, nearly two months after they were put in place. U.S. District Judge Clarence Brimmer in Wyoming ruled the restrictions would cause irreparable harm to companies that rely on snowmobiling in the parks due to lost business. Brimmer issued a temporary restraining order against the restrictions and ordered the National Park Service to develop temporary rules for the rest of the 2004 season including use of cleaner, quieter snowmobiles. It was not immediately clear what the next legal step would be, or what rules would be in effect for the 2005 season.

Customer Service site = "MTGRE"; section="HOME"; gnsSite ="greatfallstribune"; Home News Local News Obituaries ... Customer Service Los Angeles Times A new generation of snowmobiles, approved for use in Yellowstone National Park after being promoted as cleaner and quieter, emit more pollution than models produced two years ago, according to testing data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The controversial decision to allow snowmobiles in Yellowstone and neighboring Grand Teton National Park was based on industry promises that models with new engines would do less to foul the air and water in the nation's oldest national park. But recent tests conducted on the 2004 models show that the machines produce from 40 percent to 213 percent more emissions than 2002 models Officials from the Department of the Interior and Yellowstone will meet Friday with industry leaders in Washington to discuss the implications of the findings and their potential impact on the park's decision to reverse a Clinton-era decision to ban the machines.
