The Carbon County Board of Commissioners' notices on the Utah Public Notice Website show regular meetings on the first and third Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. (3 and 17 June, 1 and 15 July, 19 August, 2 and 16 September 2026; the 5 August meeting was cancelled), at 751 E 100 N, Price. Wednesday 7 October 2026 is the first Wednesday of October; as of 29 September no notice or agenda for it was posted. The most recent agenda, for 16 September, was posted on 10 September, six days ahead; it had no Valar, nuclear or Section 16 item and listed no public-comment period. The day before, Tuesday 6 October, is the Planning Commission, whose agenda (posted 23 September) has one permit item, the Altigen technology park (no record links it to Valar), and an item 'Updates on Previous Items and Upcoming Projects' (dir-015). No Valar item has been found on any Carbon County agenda posted so far, and no county permit application by Valar was found (csite-012). The county's rules for 'highly contested industries' are at the drafting stage, with a hearing planned for November (csite-013); under Utah Code 17-79-803 an application is judged by the rules in effect when it is complete unless the county formally started changing them first (dir-014), and the Trust Lands memo describes a county conditional use permit with notice and a public hearing as part of the process for the lease (csite-015).
