GLENWOOD SPRINGS – Garfield County is holding an ax over a logging operation in TeePee Park, south of Rifle, for failing to follow permit conditions.Garfield County commissioners questioned representatives of Intermountain Resources of Montrose Monday over the company’s use of haul trucks and conventional logging methods.Intermountain’s special use permit calls for using helicopters to remove timber cut on steep slopes.”I don’t think we’ve seen that,” said Commissioner John Martin said.The commissioners will hold a public hearing on Monday, March 17, to consider whether to revoke, suspend or amend Intermountain’s permit.Intermountain spokesman Bill Gherardi questioned whether the county’s permit was a Bible, to be followed to the letter, or a working document to be adjusted as time goes along.”The plan became a Bible,” county planner Mark Bean told the commissioners.Garfield County approved the special use permit in 1997, and it was issued in 2000. After the meeting Monday, Bean said the special use permit allows trucks for hauling logs when slopes are less than 50 percent; requires cables on some steeper slopes; and requires helicopters to lift out logs on steep slopes where roads can’t be built.Monday’s discussion was part of Intermountain Resources’ annual special use permit review.In other action Monday, the county commissioners:-Received six applications for three vacancies on the five-member planning and zoning commission.
