n Things to
consider from a Kansas Compatriot: If I were advising the county [on future Bears
Ears decisions], I would encourage them to create two county maps - the first
distinguishing surface-ownership, and the second identifying subsurface
rights. For the surface map, the county would identify all non-federal
areas that have distinct ownership holdings, such as surface water collection
basins, private lands, all utility corridors, RS 2477 Roads and, yes, grazing
allotments. (Gas can be used as a negotiating item later, but include
them for now).
n The second map would
be subsurface holdings, such as water rights, mineral permits, utility stuff
and the like. The goal for the second map is to single out legitimate
government holdings from other subsurface rights.
n Once all the private
items have been identified, mapped and their area(s) determined, the county
would ideally alert all land holder to set aside in perpetuity access to
all in
holdings of private
lands. From that point the
project becomes one of mathematics and documentation . The reason why this would be viable is it is
consistent with both the FLPMA and AA. The County has already set the
stage for this by commissioning the STS report, (See Lines 211, 351, 615 and
844-873 of attached report).
With respect to prayer, Scripture says the
"the prayers of a righteous man [woman] availeth much."
Should be the first step. . . "
