Book Description

Excerpt from Roles of Government in the Land Use Planning in the Great Plains The status of land use legislation was reviewed at the federal and state levels of government. There has been much committee action at the federal level the last few years but few bills have passed and the prospects for l976 have not improved. Although Wyoming enacted a statewide land use bill, l975 saw a shifting away from sweeping land use proposals toward more limited and specific proposals to protect the environment, regulate floodplains, guide development of key facilities and require cities and counties to prepare local land use plans. Activities at the federal level have been toward more inter and intra-departmental coordination of land use planning programs. Major land use problems and current legislation were summarized for the ten Great Plains States. The most often mentioned problems were soil erosion and sedimentation, preservation of prime agricultural land and the subdivision of rural lands.
