Herbert to testify on San Juan County national monuments

SALT LAKE CITY — Congressional efforts to establish twin national monuments in San Juan County will get a hearing Tuesday in Washington, D.C., where Utah Gov. Gary Herbert is expected to testify on the value of the Shash Jaa′ and Indian Creek national monuments.
The two potential designations, proposed in HR4532 sponsored by Rep. John Curtis, R-Utah, are in response to the untangling of the 1.35-million Bears Ears National Monument when President Donald Trump visited Utah in December
