A hearing in Vernal Saturday will examine a proposed Dinosaur National Monument expansion including adding 27 246 acres and a 1000 foot wide scenic corridor. The plan adds a major visitor center at Pats Hole, new campgrounds and river ramps, and a new Artesia area complex with offices and housing.

The outcome may impact regional power and water projects and state road costs.
