Re:emergencyrestorationofRecapturearchsites
Jeremy, Aaron and Nate,

We need copies of any reports or field notes that describe the situation and needed reclamation please
As Jenna mentions if some form of emergency stabilization is needed we do want to get on it right away, before monsoon
season.
I have talked with Lance and we will set up a call to include the three of you at a minimum as soon as we can get info from you.
If reports are not ready but you can share enough detail about what you understand the conditions and locations, we can
schedule the call. I am assuming that we will have to complete a NEPA analysis but also assume that we can use the
4 BLM Categorical Exclusions I. Emergency Stabilization" CX. (per NEPA handbook

Emergency stabilization actions that are not immediately needed to protect public health and safety or
important resources must undergo normal NEPA procedures (40 CFR 1506.11). Generally, follow-up
actions such as fire rehabilitation, abandoned mine land reclamation, or flood cleanup are not
considered emergency actions.)
"APPENDIX
John and Rand, Would the Draft report or field notes from the contractor while still in Draft form be permissible to use for
this process?

Re:conversationrecordwithMarylinBoynton(sp?)
I got another message from her this morning. I did not have time to call her back, but I did forward
the message to Lance. I don't know that it warrants a call back from me at this point. She has invited
Leanard Gorman of the Navajo Tribe to be at the meeting next week. I'll admit I did not listen very
carefully to the message to get any other details. Today was nutz.... Thanks.

TwoYearMotorizedVehicleClosurenotapplicabletoRecapture
I talked with Jenna yesterday and she said that this topic came up in preparation for Juan's interview with Al Jazeera
America. Although we do not have "talking points" from John Steiger, she said that Phil Lyman's interpretation may come from
two somewhat recent IMs that deal with closures (IM-2010-028 Dec.11, 2009; IM-2013-035, Dec.20, 2012). In one or both of
these IMs a two year limit is put on closures and if we want a longer closure we have to go through a NEPA analysis to extend
it.
John's position is that we don't go back and retroactively change other decisions (closures) when we released these IMs, so
the two year limitation does not apply to Recapture.

Brian called Jackie Stevens in Moab today but was not able to make contact. He left her a phone message and followed up with
an email.
I know we don't have a daily call but I would like to discuss soon what our talking points will be and set a schedule of when we
can make contact with the applicant (San Juan County).

Jed, Jeremy and others working in the canyon noticed fresh sign of cattle moving down into the canyon over the weekend. I
understand there are pictures of them as well.
I thought that they were out of the canyon for the year. I know the solicitor's were interested in grazing, so please follow

PhilLymanatBrown'scanyontrailheadandfilmedJeremyJarnecke
Jeremy went back up to the trailhead to get some materials and Phil Lyman was there looking over the canyon.
Jeremy said he walked by Phil and said hi and Phil started asking lots of questions.
How many people? - 4 people
How many horses? - two riding and two pack horses (he thought)
Was Jeremy with the BLM? - Yes
Where from? - Salt Lake City (Phil's response; Wow the BLM can really get things done when they want to.)
As they talked Jeremy noticed that Phil was holding a phone down by his leg. Jeremy asked if he was filming the discussion and
Phil said yes. Phil was friendly about it all.
Jeremy will fill out a conversation record later when finished in the canyon.

As they talked Jeremy noticed that Phil was holding a phone down by his leg. Jeremy asked if he was filming the discussion and
Phil said yes. Phil was friendly about it all.

Kay Shumway, Phil Lyman's father-in-law showed up at the Brown's Canyon trailhead this morning and took pictures of the
vehicles. According to Laird Naylor he started out with a pretty aggressive stance. Mr. Shumway said he understood BLM was
doing a damage assessment; laird did not respond directly to that. Laird did say that he ahd taken Phil down to show him the
sites before the ride and he is showing the same things to this group.
They spent most of the time talking about other projects and as he and Laird talked Mr. Shumway seemed to calm down.

DisturbingcallperrecaptureandClivenBundyandPERCIEVEDlackofaction
byBLM
Judie forwarded a call to me from two local people, they would not give names. Apparently the woman
had called before and asked for Lance and may have left messages, and was upset about possibly being
sent to voicemail, so Judie forwarded her to me, which was the appropriate action on her part.
The woman spoke first then her husband joined in with her shouting in the background, they were both
quite worked up. Neither was interested in talking, which became clear relatively quickly, they wanted
to rant and were quite angry and abusive. They wanted us to arrest the ATV'ers and Cliven Bundy and
others who are breaking the law. Initially I tried talking or reasoning with them, but that didn't work,
and I quickly changed to just listening, even that seemed to make them angry. They finally hung up on
me.
ary apparently has also been getting similar calls
G
, he's had several. Some of the calls have been from
Blanding, I don't know if Monticello is receiving similar calls.
I just wanted to give management a heads up that this was happening, although I know it was something
that you all anticipated.

Jed, the solicitor's office is requesting:
Copy of the permit
Recent use reports and billings (try for the last five years)
Any permitted range improvements; if these issued under different authorizations then copies of those
Also, if there are any recent monitoring/reviews/inspections - such as for utilization or production, or if they were to look
at potential resource impacts associated with grazing - then copies of those (try for the last five years)
This is pretty high priority because public affairs is trying to respond to media inquiries.
Thank you.

Aaron, Sorry I missed this message while trying to get the employees accounted for and get the office closed on Friday. I
thought we had kept you in the loop about Laird going with Phil Lyman to Recapture. Below is Laird's Conversation Record.
Laird did have an added note after he sent his Record that they had looked at a pipeline repair and Laird had told Phil that the
water conservancy district has vehicular access along the pipeline to perform inspection and maintenance:
