- Description
This study examines the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, its natural resources, a potential development of industries with urea fertilizer, and pinon pine-juniper wood charcoal products. Includes conclusions and recommendations.
During the early months of 1967, Thiokol Chemical Corporation conducted preliminary economic and marketing studies of basic analytical data to determine the feasibility of developing a urea fertilizer and allied products chemical complex in the Intermountain Area. Various factors seemed to qualify the Uintah and Ouray Reservation as an ideal location for this type of plant. These factors included availability of natural resources, Ute Tribal desires to operate Indian-owned enterprises, and a high Reservation unemployment problem. The study effort was broadened to include production and marketing of charcoal, firewood, and other wood products to utilize the vast reserves of pinon pine and juniper on the Reservation.
