newrecordconfirmed Where the site is, in the records' own words: Section 16, T14S R11E, about five miles north of Wellington
2026-09-17 · csite-002 · Utah Trust Lands Administration, Valar Atomics, Carbon County

The Trust Lands memorandum gives the location as 'T14S, R11E, Section 16: All*', Carbon County, 640 acres (+/-), for the Public Schools Trust, and places it 'approximately five miles north of Wellington'. The staff slides of 20 August 2026 label it 'Carbon County, North of Wellington' and a '640-acre TLA parcel' chosen by Valar 'following multi-state search'. The lease map is titled 'Special Use Lease Agreement No. 2095, Township 14 South, Range 11 East, SLB&M' (N2, SW4, 480 acres). The lease covers 480 acres at first (the N1/2 and SW1/4, mine-011); the SE1/4 is under a Utah National Guard lease (csite-003). Carbon County's 29 June letter calls it 'north of Wellington on SITLA lands' (mine-013). Staff told the board it is about six miles east of Price and six miles north of Wellington (20 August) and 'essentially six miles north of Wellington' (17 September), per the auto-generated transcripts; the memo says about five. No street address or road name appears in any record read. The posted RW 453 claim notice is for Section 28, two sections (about two miles) south of Section 16 in the same township (csite-019).

In plain termsRural Utah land is located on a survey grid of one-mile squares called sections, grouped into townships and ranges. 'Section 16, Township 14 South, Range 11 East' names one exact square mile. The state owns it and holds it in trust to earn money for public schools. The records place it five to six miles north of Wellington, on open land away from town. The posted RW 453 mining-claim notice is for Section 28, two miles south of this square (csite-019).
