n  San Juan County target of “Fake News”   Commissioner Phil Lyman (If links don’t open, hover over link, and select “copy link”, then paste in browser.)

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. . . "
