Here,
thank
you
so
much
so
with
that
we
have.
This
is
our
fourth
and
a
final
meeting
of
the
interim
study
on
wildfires.
We
will
be
I'm
sure
that
none
of
us
have
expected
to
really
do
this.
All
virtually
it
had
kind
of
expect
to
all
be
in
the
same
room,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
Marc
conversations
that
way,
usually
but
I
hope
that
this
has
been
helpful
and
that
we've
been
able
to
make
some
progress
on
understanding
the
problems
we
have
here
in
Nevada.
A
As
we've
seen
over
the
last
couple
weeks,
we've
had
several
fires
and
hopefully,
as
we
move
through
today's
agenda,
we
have
two
presentations
and
then
we'll
move
into
the
work
session
that
some
of
the
the
BTR's
that
are
brought
forward
in
the
next
legislative
session
will
help
make
some
progress
on
our
our
welfare
issues
here
in
nevada.
So
just
a
couple
housekeeping
remarks
before
we
get
started
so
minutes
of
the
meeting
are
produced
in
the
summary
format
and
not
verbatim
materials.
A
All
these
meeting
materials
can
be
accessed
on
the
committee's
web
page
and
anyone
who
would
like
to
see
receive
electronic
notification
and
access
to
the
committee's
agenda,
x'
minutes
and
final
report
can
do
so.
By
signing
up
on
on
nevada
legislators
website,
the
committee
will
be
taking
actions,
take
action
on
agenda
items
today
and
we
will
use
a
roll
call
vote
to
do
so.
A
There
will
be
a
public
comment
period
at
the
beginning
and
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
with
public
comment,
limited
to
three
minutes
per
speaker
and
just
so
that
everyone
knows
how
to
do
this
in
this
virtual
format.
There's
a
lot
of
different
ways
and
I'm.
Just
gonna
read
through
these
just
in
case
folks,
are
watching
online
and
don't
know
how
to
call
in
or
submit
comments.
A
So,
if
you
want
to
call
in
for
a
public
comment,
you
call

A
C
C
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Adam
Watts
I'd
like
to
recognize
the
wildland
fire
week
of
remembrance
from
June
30th
to
July
6th,
which
was
established
following
the
Yarnell
Hill
Fire
that
claimed
the
lives
of
19
Granite
Mountain
hotshots
in
Arizona
in
2013
and
wildland
fire.
This
week
is
dedicated
to
all
those
who
have
fallen
in
the
line
of
duty
and
is
intended
to
serve
as
an
opportunity
to
renew
our
commitment
to
the
health,
wellness
and
safety
of
wildland
firefighters.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much,
okay,
so
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
the
approval
of
minutes
for
the
meeting
on
June
2nd
of
2020
I.
All
members
have
access
to
the
draft
minutes
which
are
posted
on
the
committee's
web
page.
So
with
that
I'll
take
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
from
Assemblywoman
Peters
and
a
second
from
Senator
Brooks,
and
with
that
mr.
stone
is
back,
will
you
take?
Was
there
any
discussion?
Sorry
I
was
forgot
that
part
I
always
forget
that
part
with
that
mr.
Sinha
spec.
Please
take
the
roll
call
vote.
A
A
Thank
you
so
much
so
with
that,
then,
let's
move
on
to,
we
have
two
agenda
items
for
presentation
before
we
get
to
the
work
session.
The
first
is
a
discussion
of
using
conservation
science
to
aid
wildfire
management,
and
we
have
some
folks
with
the
Nature
Conservancy
here
with
us,
I
believe
it's
and
I'm
not
sure
to
pronounce
your
last
name,
sir
dr.
A
F
But
the
record
I'm
Mickey
Hazelwood
eastman
shared
about
a
program
director
for
the
Nature
Conservancy
first,
my
colleagues
and
I
would
like
to
thank
chairwoman
Swank
and
each
member
of
this
committee
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today.
We
sincerely
appreciate
and
respect
your
time
as
chairwoman
swank
just
said
today
we're
going
to
be
discussing
some
of
the
ways.
A
Nature
Conservancy
is
using
conservation,
science
to
aid
and
Wildlife
wildfire
management.
F
In
case
you
didn't
know,
the
Nature
Conservancy
is
not
only
a
science-based
organization.
We're
also
practitioners
of
many
of
the
restoration
actions
that
we
we
model
and
recommend,
and
the
picture
in
this
slide
is
from
a
prescribed
fire
that
the
Nature
Conservancy
planned
and
managed
at
our
independence.
Lake
preserve
the
Nature
Conservancy's
mission
is
to
conserve
the
lands
and
waters
on
which
all
life
depends,
and
here
in
Nevada,
our
conservation
work
falls
into
five
different
programs.
Three
of
those
are
geographically
based.
F
Thus
each
sagebrush
ecosystems,
Eastern
Sierra,
Nevada
and
Mojave
Desert,
the
other
two
conservation
programs
are
cross-cutting
and
can
touch
down
and
one
or
more
of
these
geographies.
Those
are
our
water
program
and
climate
action
programs.
As
we
move
through
this
presentation
today,
we're
gonna
focus
on
some
key
takeaway
best.
F
G
For
the
record,
my
name
is
Louis
provancha
I'm,
the
director
of
conservation,
ecology
for
the
Nature
Conservancy
in
Nevada,
we're
gonna
talk
about
fuel
brakes.
You
see
a
photo
here
from
a
helicopter
in
the
Hawaii
uplands
and
we're
gonna
study.
We
study
these
with
conductivity
models
to
effectively
cite
fuel
brakes.
We're
gonna
come
back
to
this,
we're
also
going
to
talk
about
landscape
conservation
forecasting
and
that
that
we
developed
in
the
nevada
chapter
to
help
land
management.
You
see
a
photo
of
the
united
states
here.
G
G
So
if
fire
starts
from
point
A,
what
is
the
probability
or
the
likelihood
it
will
get
to
point
B
somewhere
else
in
this
vast
landscape
and
red
are
areas
that
are
very
prone
because
of
vegetation
topography
and
prevailing
winds
to
actually
transmit
fire.
So
the
fires
will
just
rip
through
that.
The
blue
areas
are
less
likely
and
we
said,
let's
find
all
these
areas
in
these
greater
geography
and
find
roads
and
put
green
strips
or
fuel
brakes.
G
Basically,
fuel
breaks
that
will
absorb
part
of
that
fire,
not
perfect,
but
we'll
do
some
of
it
on
the
right.
You
have
the
same
picture,
but
we
found
this
road
and
we
put
a
fuel
break
and
we
model
this.
This
is
model,
and
we
did
this
for
approximately
13
areas
in
the
Greater
Hawaii
uplands
that
were
significant
to
us
because
they
were
upwind
of
Greater
sage-grouse
important
areas,
and
what
you
see
is
that
the
fuel
brake
will
actually
stop
some
fire.
It's
not
perfect.
G
They
can
fires
can
jump
through
brakes,
but
when
we
did
this
to
match
systematically
across
the
landscape,
what
happened
is
that
we
we
cool
the
fire
activity
throughout
the
23
million
acre
landscape
and
it
did
end
up
protecting
sage-grouse
legs,
but
remember
this
is
this
is
model
world
next
slide?
Please
we're
gonna
shift
the
landscape
conservation
forecasting.
G
It
was
developed
by
our
chapter
and
basically
can
be
summarized
by
maps
models
and
metrics.
We
use
two
kind
of
maps
on
the
Left.
First,
map
is
ecological
system,
so
you
pick
any
one
location
on
this
map
and
you'll
determine
we
determined
through
remote
sensing
that
we
do
ourselves,
whether
it's
Wyoming
sage,
Rose,
jeffrey
pine,
mountain
sagebrush,
a
riparian
system,
and
you
take
that
same
exact
location.
Pick
your
favorite
Mac
pixels.
You
know
this
is
from
satellite
imagery
that
we
interpreted
and
you
go
to
the
lower
map.
G
You
go
with
the
same
exact
location,
and
that
will
tell
you
what
is
your
condition
right
there?
What
is
the
vegetation
that
you
have
so
in
the
upper
map?
You
may
have
said
this
is
Wyoming
sagebrush,
but
the
lower
map
will
tell
you
well,
this
is
all
dominated
by
cheatgrass
or
it's
a
shrubland
site,
Wyoming
sagebrush,
again,
that's
all
encroached
by
pinyon
and
juniper,
or
it's
a
nice
Jeffrey
Pyne
system
in
perfectly
good
condition.
So
we
need
these
two
maps
to
tell
that
story,
and
with
that
information
we
create
models.
G
Some
are
bigger,
some
are
smaller,
but
this
information
of
the
maps
populates
those
models
and
the
beauty
of
these
models
is
that
we
can
simulate
them
on
the
computer
into
the
future
25
60
years
into
the
future,
with
fire
and
bug,
kill
and
management
activities.
All
that
and
we
design
what
we
call
what-if
scenarios.
What-If
scenarios
are
basically
similar
in
NEPA
to
proposed
actions.
G
What-If
scenarios
could
be
I'm
not
going
to
do
anything
else
than
what
I've
been
doing
before
or
I'm
gonna
do
aggressive,
fuelbreaks
or
I'm
gonna
do
aggressive
restoration,
so
you
can
dream
up
these
scenarios
and
with
a
budget
and
failure
rates
and
success
rates
and
all
that
and
fire
and
droughts,
and
we
simulate
into
the
future
and
from
that
we
are
going
to
act
well.
Are
we
better
off
doing
something
active
and
paying
for
it
compared
to
doing
nothing
and
not
paying
for
that
or
are
we?
G
Is
there
differences
between
these
active
scenarios
and
to
do
that?
We've
used
metrics
and
on
the
upper
panel
there
you
see
all
these
colors
there's
each
ecological
system
has
a
scorecard.
That's
our
baseline
metric
that
we
provide
for
all
our
projects
and
red
is
bad.
Green
is
good
and
yellows
intermediate
and
basically
it
says
you
can
determine
the
scorecard
the
value
and
percentages
of
your
ecological
system.
G
What
is
the
health
of
the
system
currently
and
if
you
simulate
in
the
future,
you
can
say
what
is
it
in
the
future
after
I've
done
all
this
stuff,
and
basically
you
get
a
scorecard
of
your
progress,
some
of
our
customers
or
partners
we
work
with
want
different
metrics
and
for
this
project
we
were
asked
by
the
BLM
to
do
greater
sage-grouse,
habitat
suitability
after
30
years
of
active
management.
So
in
this
math
of
greater
sage-grouse,
that's
the
map
in
the
lower
part
on
the
right.
G
Green
is
good
and
red
is
bad,
yellow
is
intermediate,
and
basically
it
just
tells
you.
If
you
do
this
with
management
you
get
this
map.
Had
we
done
another
map
which
I
can't
put
in
this
lobby
we're
doing
nothing
extraordinary
or
just
no
management,
no,
no
management.
We
could
compare
the
two
maps
and
we've
done
that
next
slide,
please.
G
So,
in
the
framework
of
landscape
conservation
forecasting,
we
actually
be
a
simple
scenario
where
we
had
several
objectives,
and
here
are
the
two
management
actions
we
designed
in
this
one
is
we
took
this
landscape
in
the
Hawaii
uplands?
This
is
the
Owyhee
allotment
and
for
those
of
you
who
know
this
landscape,
the
Marten
fire
went
through
the
southern
part
of
this
landscape.
This
work
was
done
prior
to
the
Marten
fire
you'll,
see
on
the
left
of
slides
off
the
panel
they're
called
fuel
brakes
and
what
we
did
we
just
existing
roads.
G
We
didn't
punch
through
in
tagged
vegetation.
We
took
the
existing
roads
and
we
buffer
them
from
a
fuel
brake
when
we
assign
a
certain
resistance
to
fire
going
through
them
or
jumping
through
them.
The
second
action
that
you
see
on
the
right
we
actually
seeded
and
all
those
dark
blue
areas
or
areas
of
greater
concentration
of
cheatgrass
and
we
seeded
their
perennial
grass.
So
we
change
we're
trying
to
change
the
fire
behavior
from
something's,
very
flammable,
something
that's
a
whole
lot,
less
flammable.
G
So,
for
a
point
of
reference,
this
landscape,
here's
a
Bible
that
you're
looking
at
with
those
fuel
brakes
about
two
hundred
thousand
acres
I,
don't
know
the
exact
number,
but
some
of
those
linear
fuel
brakes.
You
see
there
are
like
30
miles
long,
so
they're
pretty
big.
So
these
are
the
two
actions
and
we're
gonna
slice
and
dice
them
to
do
management
scenarios
next
slide,
please.
G
What
did
we
find
so?
The
first
result
is:
is
maps
of
fire?
So
there's
three
panels
here,
and
this
is
a
heat
map
each
pixel
on
this
map,
each
location
on
this
map.
The
color
tells
you
how
often
that
area
burned
the
warmer
the
redder,
the
color,
the
more
often
that
location
burned
over
and
over
and
over
again
over
30
years
simulation
gray
areas,
never
burn
in
blue
areas
probably
burn
once
maybe
twice
so
it
gives
you
an
idea
of
the
fire
activity
and
what
you
notice
on
the
left.
G
Two
things
is
that
the
fire
activity
change
a
little
bit
in
shape,
but
there's
still
quite
a
bit
of
fire
in
that
red
circle,
so
we
didn't
affect
there
and
you,
if
you
remember
that
previous
slide,
we
didn't
really
have
fuel
brakes
in
that
area.
There's
not.
It
was
not
convenient
to
put
one,
but
what
you
do
know
this
is
that
the
fuel
brakes
have
local
effects
where
they
sometimes
as
a
sharp
line
that
can
stop
fire.
So
you
see
a
road
there,
a
fuel
brake
and
there's
no
fire
on
the
other
side.
G
So
that
was
a
success
rate.
What's
interesting
to
us
is
the
right
panel,
where
we
actually
added
restoration.
We
kept
the
fuel
brakes,
but
what's
really
the
benefit
here
is
from
fuel
brakes
where
we
seeded
perennial
grass
in
these
cheatgrass
dominate
areas
and
what
you'll
notice
that
we
cool
greatly
the
fire
activity,
there's
a
whole
lot
less
fire
that
is
due
not
to
the
fuel
brake.
It's
due
to
the
seeding
of
perennial
grass
replacing
cheatgrass.
G
That's
basically
what
it
is
next
slide,
please
we
can
express
that
same
kind
of
data
as
a
graph,
so
in
this
graph
here
you
have
on
the
x-axis
years
of
stimulation.
So
if
you
see
on
the
right
says
it's
25
at
the
bottom
bearing
time
step.
That
means
that
the
simulation
was
run
for
25
years.
In
this
case
on
the
y-axis,
you
see
the
acres
that
burn
now.
The
golden
bar
is
no
action,
so
the
golden
bar
in
this
graph
for
every
year
calendar
there's
a
golden
bar
and
then
there's
a
dark
grey
bar.
G
The
dark
grey
bar
is
management,
and
that
is
a
seating
combined
with
the
fuel
brake
now
I
just
have
to
tell
you,
we
could
have
put
a
third
bar
for
every
year,
make
it
more
complicated
and
that
would
have
been
the
fuel
brake
alone,
but
the
fuel
brake
alone
was
not
very
different
than
the
no
action
in
terms
of
total
amount
of
fire.
So
what
we're
seeing
is
really
the
effect
of
seating
and
that's
the
gold
bar
compared
to
the
grey
bar
and
what
you'll
notice
is
that
consistently?
G
This
is
a
little
more
complicated.
I'll
walk
you
through
it.
This
has
to
do
with
net
primary
productivity.
So
on
the
y
axis
we
have
the
years
of
the
simulation
and
then
net
primary
productivity
on
the
axis
and
on
the
y
axis
in
turn
of
pounds
per
acre.
That's
it's
simply.
The
amount
of
vegetation
carbon
that's
stored
in
the
stands,
the
leaves
and
the
roots.
So
it's
all
the
carbon
and
vegetation
you
can
cram
in
a
system.
G
What
you'll
notice
is
that
there's
a
red
and
green
line
red
as
minimum
management
green
line
is
the
fuel
brake.
So
in
this
light
we're
actually
showing
again
the
fuel
brake
and
what
you'll
notice
there's
not
a
big
difference
between
the
red
and
the
green
line.
They're
actually
statistically,
not
different
from
one
another
in
terms
of
how
much
carbon
you're
storing
in
this
system,
but
the
blue
line,
which
combines
the
fuel
brake
in
the
seating
and
really
what
you're
seeing
is
the
effect
of
the
seating
right
here.
G
Well,
in
this
case,
there's
more
carbon
increasingly
stored,
so
that
the
as
time
goes
by
there's
actually
progressively
more
carbon,
and
these
differences
are
significant,
so
feedings
alone
stored
more
carbon
into
this
system
and
that's
what
it
shows
next
slide.
Please
people
don't
like
pounds
per
acre
of
carbon,
so
we
converted
our
metrics
here
to
barrels
of
oil,
so
people
can
relate
to
a
barrel
of
oil
standing
there
on
asphalt.
You
can
actually
see
that
in
your
mind,
this
slide
here
shows
the
difference
between
doing
nothing.
G
The
minimum
stress
management,
the
minimum
management
scenario
and
basically
doing
the
seating
with
the
field
break
and
basically
we're
talking
about
here-
is
the
seeding
effect.
Now
I'm
gonna
walk
you
through
this
on
the
very
right:
it's
a
total
ecosystem,
carbon
and
it
says
88,000,
something
that
is
if
you
were
to
do
nothing
unless
fires
just
rip
through
this
landscape.
G
88,000
barrels
of
oils
would
just
vaporize
into
the
atmosphere:
you're
just
spewing
carbon
88,000
barrels
of
oil
worth
of
carbon
to
the
atmosphere.
Now,
if
you
look
at
that
red
circle,
you'll
see
soil
and
what
you'll
notice
it's-
and
this
is
specific
to
Range
line.
Not
forest
is
that
70
percent
of
the
carbon
that's
stored
in
rangeland
goes
into
the
soil
because
of
the
fine
roots
of
perennial
vegetation,
especially
grasses.
G
So
if
you
do
no
management
action,
basically
61,000
plus
Aeros
of
oil
goes
spilling
in
the
atmosphere.
However,
should
you
want
to
do
management?
You
can
actually
store
that
88,000
and
the
61
thousand
in
to
the
soil,
the
beauty
of
soil
carbon.
It's
a
very
foreign,
stable
form
of
carbon.
Once
it's
in
the
soil,
its
tears
there,
it
will
stay
there
for
a
long
time,
regardless
of
the
fires
on
the
top.
So
that's
a
real
benefit,
and
I
think
after
this
I
packed
it
back
on
to
miki.
F
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
our
post
fire
restoration
efforts
are
unsuccessful
of
establishing
the
desired
plants,
and
even
when
we
are
successful
at
restoring
elements
of
of
those
communities,
we
rarely
return
the
full
value
of
the
resources
we've
lost,
particularly
in
terms
of
habitat
and
habitat
values.
So,
to
address
these
challenges,
Nature
Conservancy
takes
the
same
approach
as
many
other
many
others
in
this
field.
F
Nature
Conservancy's
been
active
in
the
Truckee
River
watershed
for
decades
and
we
tried
to
adapt
our
work
there
to
the
conservation
issue
and
a
few
years
ago
we
became
very
concerned
this
beautiful
watershed
of
ours.
That
is
just
as
important
to
the
local
economy
as
it
is
to
fish
and
wildlife
could
go
from
this
to
this
catastrophic
wildfires,
like
the
one
pictured
in
the
image
on
the
left.
F
Leave
denuded
landscapes
like
the
image
in
the
middle
and
those
denuded
landscapes
post
fire
runoff
from
those
denuded
landscapes,
can
contribute
soil
ash
and
debris
and
contaminate
our
waterways
for
years
after
fire
events.
These
pictures
are
from
the
northern
part
of
the
rio
grande
watershed
in
New
Mexico.
But
we
see
examples
just
like
this
all
across
the
western
US,
so
as
Louie
already
demonstrated
LCF
is,
is
a
flexible
tool
that
can
be
adapted
to
different
landscapes.
F
And
you
still
hear
me:
okay,
okay,
so
the
map
on
the
Left
demonstrates
where
stand
replacing
fire
risk
is
greatest
in
the
tricky
River
watershed.
The
hotter
colors
demonstrate
the
the
higher
risk
levels
and
again
these
are
stand
replacing
fires.
These
are
fires
that
continued
landscapes,
like
we
saw
in
the
previous
images,
the
figure
in
the
middle
demonstrates
soil
yield
risk.
So
if
this
landscape
were
to
burn
these
darker
colors
show
where
soil
yields
would
be
highest
on
that
burned,
landscape
and
by
overlaying
these
two
images,
these
two
data
sets
and
then
applying.
F
So
again,
to
just
recap:
the
key
takeaway
messages
that
we
want
to
focus
on
here:
restoration
increases,
ecosystem
resistance
to
fire
again
to
a
lesser
but
still
meaningful
degree
increases
landscapes,
resilience,
post,
wildfire
field
breaks
are
a
very
useful
tool
and
they
should
only
be
considered
as
part
of
the
solution
as
they
perform
much
better.
When,
coupled
with
restoration
actions,
deals
management
of
our
forests
and
shrub
lands
are
key
element
in
watershed
management
and
those
actions
can
enhance
water
security
for
people
and
nature
and
then
finally,
restoration
and
fuels
management.
Our
natural
climate
solutions.
F
C
H
G
Lundi
want
me
to
answer
Mickey
yeah.
This
is
for
the
record.
This
is
Lois
vivace.
We
had
projects
where
we
did
the
remote
sensing,
the
modeling
and
within
a
year
or
two,
the
BLM,
the
Forest
Service
or
the
Park
Service,
had
done
the
NEPA
work
and
had
started,
obtain
funding
and
start
up
implementing
actions.
So
sometimes
it's
pretty
rapid,
often
the
agencies,
sometimes
it's
private
industry,
to
approach
us
because
they
use
the
modeling
results
and
the
mapping
we
do
in
estimation
of
habitat
quality
to
actually
for
an
ephah
justification.
G
So
they
need
this
information
to
write
the
NEPA
documents
and
then
submit
that
get
the
funding.
I
get
the
record
of
decision.
If
that
passes,
and
maybe
hopefully
survive
litigation
with
their
proposed
actions
and
implement,
and
sometimes
the
turnaround
we
had
one
project.
The
turnaround
was
so
fast:
it
was
less
a
year,
any
was
all
less
than
a
year
after
we
submitted
the
modeling
results
and
the
reports
that
they
were
able
to
start
seeding
in
the
ground
and
doing
actions.
G
C
G
So
it
takes
for
us,
it
takes,
are
pretty
fast
on
the
remote
sensing
from
the
timing,
remote
start
to
remote
sensing.
You
do
the
field
work
in
July
by
next
May.
We
have
the
maps
all
done
and
we
start
to
simulations
before
we
get
the
maps
we
prepared
them
and
the
simulations
all
that
by
September
we
have
pretty
good
results
and
by
December
we
have
a
final
report,
so
we
can
do
these
projects
and
depends
on
the
size
of
project.
Sometimes
they
may
take
two
years.
It's
a
it's!
A
million
acre
landscape.
G
We've
done
a
million
point,
five
acres.
If
we
do
a
smaller
landscape
like
a
hundred
thousand
acres,
we
can
do
that
in
a
year
and
a
half-
and
sometimes
we've
done
one
in
a
year
really
really
fast,
but
I,
don't
like
doing
that.
It's
a
little
bit
difficult
to
because
we
have
other
work
we're
doing
too.
So
it's
pretty.
You
know.
Within
two
years
we
have.
The
modeling
is
all
done.
The
remote
sensing
is
done.
We
got
the
report
written,
it
did
changes
with
different
projects,
but
we're
pretty
fast
on
that.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
out,
in
the
work
that
you
do
I'm
seeing
in
the
fire
breaks
as
well,
but
to
protect
our
valuable
rangeland
and
in
the
state.
How
closely
do
you
work
with
DCNR
and
and
specifically
in
their
carbon
modeling
and
data
collection
on
on
soil
and
and
plant
life,
and
that's
the
Department
of
Conservation,
Natural,
Resources
I'm,
sorry,
I'm
sure
you
know
that
but
I
hate
using
acronyms.
G
Not
sure
who's
gonna
be
answering
this
one
I
recently
have
a
project
that
we
started
with
the
state
of
Nevada
through
the
Heritage
Program
to
work
actually
on
the
carbon
modeling
as
a
follow-up
from
that
Owyhee
upland
project
and
restoration
and
estimating
the
how
much
carbon
we
could
store
in
these
degraded
range
lands
to
restore
basically
to
restore
them
to
perennial
vegetation,
so
that
I
started
doing
that.
Most
often
I've
worked
with
BLM
for
service
Park
Service
Department
of
Defense,
the
mining
industry,
so
these
are
typically
an
NRCS
we've
worked
with
in
our
sensible
project.
G
So
this
is
where
that's
my
experience
right
there
with
those
groups,
but,
like
I
said
we
just
got
a
project
funded
by
the
u.s.
Climate
Alliance
that
goes
through
the
Nevada
division
of
natural
heritage
and
that
literally
just
started
that
project.
So
that's
the
extent
of
my
experience
with
the
state
of
Nevada
so
far.
D
This
this
past
year
in
in
November,
there
was
a
assurance,
stewardship
agreement
that
was
signed
by
the
by
the
governor
and
the
Forest
Service
BLM,
and
the
Fish
and
Wildlife
Service
to
focus
on
coordination
of
our
efforts
regarding
landscape
level
fuels
treatments
that
would
address
some
of
these
issues,
and
so
I
know
that
team
has
been
meeting
on
a
regular
basis
to
identify
those
priority
landscapes
and
to
move
that
path
forward
and
absolutely
DCNR
and
Nevada.
Department
Forest
is
absolutely
integral
to
that
effort.
D
And
so
what
that
allows
us
to
do
that.
Programmatic
environment
at
state
allows
us
to
rapidly
develop
project
level,
evaluations
and
decisions
to
move
these
types
of
projects
forward
quickly
and
I.
Just
want
to
say
this
work
by
the
Nature
Conservancy
is
just
fantastic.
They
do
an
awesome
job.
They
always
have
and
I
just
really
appreciate
their
work.
They
do
amazing
work.
C
You
made
and
I
wouldn't
thank
mr.
rav4
for
prioritizing
some
of
these.
These
incredibly
important
projects
that
preserve
our
public
lands
both
for
all
Nevadans
to
use,
especially
you
know,
the
the
ranching
community
and
and
up
in
central
and
northern
nevada,
and
also
would
like
to
thank
the
Nature
Conservancy
and
for
working
so
closely
with
DCNR
in
this
current
grant
opportunity
that
we
have
to
to
kind
of
look
at
where
carbon
sequestration
and
our
plant
in
soil
life
and
is,
is
also
helpful
to
all
the
users
of
the
land
and
I.
C
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
agree.
It's
it's
very
good
data.
Unfortunately,
it's
all
about
the
dollar
and
the
bottom
line.
Is
it's
a
lot
cheaper
and
I.
Just
your
comments
on
this
to
the
folks
from
nation
of
Mickey
and
group,
it's
cheaper
to
put
in
fuel
breaks,
and
it
is
you
know
these
go
in
and
rehab
these
huge
land
landscapes
again
with
perennial
seed,
are
receding
into
perennial
plants.
E
A
Thank
You
senator
so
I
have
Assemblywoman,
Titus
is
actually
in
her
car
driving
and
she
has
sent
me
a
couple.
Questions
that
I
agreed
I
would
I
would
ask
on
her
behalf,
so
she
has
sent
me
a
question
is
with
the
simulations
that
you
presented.
Do
you
have
any
comparisons
that
you
have
to
actual
events
where
these
have
been
implemented,
that
we
could
give
any
visuals
for
that
I
think
that
was
one
question
and
then
I
think
she
had
a
question
about
that.
G
Can
ant
this
is
Louis
Vuitton
Street
for
the
record.
This
is
luke
garage,
the
visuals
for
the
LCS
project.
We
have
the
visuals
we
have
or
what
the
agencies,
the
foot
of
the
the
agencies
who
have
been
fermented,
the
project,
documentation
photos
of
the
restoration
projects
lead
that
we
recommend-
and
this
has
happened
both
in
Utah
and
Nevada,
some
in
California,
so
Eastern
California.
So
we
would
get
those
photos
from
the
agencies
that
implement
the
project.
Since
we
work
on
public
lands
and
nature
concerns
is
not
implementing
those.
G
It's
the
the
agencies
are
doing
it,
but-
and
some
is
so-
we
can
actually
obtain
some
of
those
photos
of
projects.
That's
been
done
for
the
rest
of
the
question,
though
I'm
going
to
have
to
pass
it
on
to
probably
Liz
Munn,
which
I
noticed
is
muted.
Now
is
on
the
thing
so
she's
probably
can
for
the
barriers
part
and
all
that
she's,
probably
the
best
person
to
answer
that
question
now
mute
myself.
Thank
you.
I
Good
morning
this
is
Liz
month
for
the
record
from
the
Nature
Conservancy
thanks
Louie,
I
I
think
that
barriers,
or
what
we
would
emphasize
is
the
use
of
really
strategically
placing
those
fuelbreaks.
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
extra
lift
to
make
sure
that
we
we
put
those
few
breaks
in
the
right
place,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that,
because
there
is
a
cost
both
financially
just
to
do
them
and
and
to
there
is
there
can
be
a
cost
to
maintain
those
fuel
brakes
which
we
know
is
really
important
to
their
effectiveness.
I
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
strategic
about
putting
those
in
place.
So
director
Raby,
pointed
out.
There
is
a
programmatic
environment,
environmental
impact
statement
that
allows
for
a
lot
of
fuel
break
activities
to
be
rapidly
deployed.
We
would
suggest
that
some
additional
planning
is
is
important
and,
as
I'm
sure,
director
rabie
would
agree
to
make
sure
that
we
get
those
again
in
the
right
place.
I
So
if
you
think
about
the
slides
that
we
showed
with
that
connectivity
model,
where
we
there's
all
the
red
that
was
sort
of
stopped
by
that
fire,
when
you
think
about
that,
you
know
what
that
model.
What
that
slide
tells
us
is,
you
know
if
we
had
shifted
that
fuel
brake
10
miles
to
the
southeast
or
10
miles
to
the
northeast?
It
wouldn't
be
as
effective
as
if
we
located
right
where
it
was
so.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
had
one
last
question
about
the
modeling,
because
you
talked
about
this.
These
are
just
these
are
cheap
press
dominated
areas
so
I'm
wondering
do
you
have
models
of
how
fire
breaks
I
mean?
How
is
there
other
any
models
that
show
how
we
can
start
to
get
back
from
cheatgrass
monoculture
areas.
A
C
G
We've
explore
actually
many
things
that
not
just
this
one,
but
this
is
actually
in
many
of
the
cases,
four
of
the
more
difficult
actions
above
a
certain
elevation,
converting
those
cheatgrass
dominate
areas
to
something
that
say
they're
more
native
or
something
that
has
perennial
grass
and
they
have
introduced
species
in
it's
like
crested,
wheat,
grass
and
mixed
it
with
natives
and
sagebrush
in
it.
That's
actually
less
difficult
to
do
because
in
the
West
people
have
a
lot
of
experience.
It's
really
the
lowest
elevations
that
are
the
difficult
parts.
G
So,
but
with
these
models
that
are
flexed
as
Mickey
mentioned,
they're
very
flexible
models
and
whatever
the
customer
wants,
we
will
try
to
do
it
and
we
incorporate
the
success
and
failure
rate
of
actions
into
our
simulation.
This
seating
fails.
60
is
successful,
60
to
70
percent
of
the
time.
That's
what
we
put
in
the
model.
You
still
pay
for
the
hundred
percent,
because
we
attach
a
budget
to
these
simulations.
G
E
Sure,
just
this
is
more
to
John.
Maybe
you
should
always
require
an
EIS,
or
can
we
especially
coming
out
of
a
fire?
Can
we
not
get
by
with
with
an
EA,
and
you
know
in
some
of
these
cases,
especially
coming
out
of
a
fire,
and
if
we
want
to
get
get
on
the
ground
quickly,
do
we
does
it
always
require
an
EIS
job.
D
So
again,
thanks
for
the
question
John,
maybe
a
beer,
Land
Management
for
the
record,
and
it
does
not
say
it
does
not
always
require
an
EIS
and
in
fact,
we'll
do
our
burned
area
of
emergency
response
plans.
Those
are
done
in
a
very
rapid
environmental
assessment
and
site
assessment
by
a
by
a
strike
team
that
comes
in
and
puts
that
together
and
then
we
have
our
interior
rehabilitation
plans
that
those
typically
are
the
actions
that
are
implemented
two
to
five
years
after
a
fire
had
burned
on.
D
The
emergency
response
is
to
deal
with
the
very
first
years
needs,
and
we
do
many
times
we'll
do
we
can
do
an
EA
environmental
assessment
to
implement
those
actions
when
we
don't
have
again
complexity
or
some
situation
that
would
cause
us
to
go
to
an
EIS.
We
absolutely
can
do
any
environmental
assessment.
Not
do
any
is
thanks.
E
John,
and
so
in
that
scenario
and
I'm
just
trying
to
paint
the
picture
clearly,
if
we're
coming
out
of
a
fire
and
again
with
the
data,
that's
provided
by
Louie
and
Mickey
here
we
can
see
okay,
it
does.
It
would
be
beneficial
to
really
move
forward
and
seed,
this
particular
area
or
reinforce
and
and
Rehab
this
particular
fuel
break.
You
know,
I
think
it's
so
much
it's
critical
and
then
we
don't
have
to
deal
through
this
long
EIS
process
and
because
and
then
the
other
scenario
is
the
native
versus
non
native
seed.
E
You
know
most
of
us
out
here
in
Northern
Nevada
would
prefer
at
least
a
mix
because
we
have
been
successfully
I.
Don't
think
anybody
disagrees
with
that.
Did
you
guys
look
at
that,
Mickey
and
and
Louie
as
far
as
you
know,
as
you're
doing
this
data
in
the
comparisons?
You
know
the
success
rate
on
rehab
versus
native
versus
native.
I
And
we
pointed
out,
we
do
a
variety
of
treatments
that
we've
modeled
and-
and
we
recognize
the
challenge
of
using
native
seeds,
particularly
in
low
elevation
conditions,
low
precip
zone.
So
we
typically
model
you
think
introduced
introduced
species
such
as
crystal
wheatgrass,
Siberian,
wheatgrass,
forage
kosha
in
those
areas.
We
also
model
a
lot
of
our
fuel
breaks.
We
consider
to
be
green
strips
of
crusted
wheatgrass
because
they
are,
you
know,
lower
cost
to
maintain
over
the
long
term.
So
we
recognize
that,
especially
at
lower
elevations.
I
Where
do
you
introduce
species
versus
native
species
when
they're
trying
to
make
really
difficult
decisions
in
a
short
amount
of
time,
with
a
limited
amount
of
information
so
trying
to
give
them
some
more
tools
under
that
circumstance?
So
that
again
we
can
take
advantage
of
that
situation
and
get
the
best
restoration
decisions
out
on
the
ground.
A
All
right
and
I
will
also
note
that
the
money
that
came
through
through
the
SB
508
allocation
for
Bob
fire
planning
really
has
been
a
way
to
assist
these
multi-agency
partnerships
to
how
to
get
some
of
this
work
done
right
and
we
just
fit.
The
last
interim
finance
committee
got
approval
to
release
the
remaining
four
point:
seven
five
million
dollars
for
that,
so
that
money
will
be
going
to
good,
good
use
for
planning
going
forward
and
fuels
reductions.
So
there
are
no
further
questions
at
this
point.
A
I
want
to
thank
everyone
from
the
Nature
Conservancy
for
being
here.
We
appreciate
always
good
to
see
you
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation
and
all
of
your
excellent
work
and
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
agenda
item
five
as
a
presentation
of
wildfires
and
mining
in
Nevada
and
I.
Believe
we
have
mr.
gray
with
us
who's
the
president
of
Nevada
mining
association.
We
also
have
joseph
Rhynie
who's,
the
director
of
workforce
engagement
with
NMA
and
rich
Mayer
who's,
a
regional
safety
and
fleet
manager
for
state
fire.
J
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
chair
members
of
this
committee,
Tyree
gray,
here
present
Nevada
mining,
Association
and
frankly,
I
have
to
get
used
to
saying
that
this
is
actually
my
first
presentation.
So
this
committee
will
always
be
endeared
to
me
as
being
the
very
first
time
that,
on
the
record,
I've
been
able
to
share
that.
First
and
foremost,
I
would
like
to
say
hello
to
my
friends
from
CNC.
K
You
Tyree
Joe
Rainey
for
the
record,
so
I
wanted
to
start
first
with
some
of
the
risks
that
there
are
that
posed
to
the
surface
mines.
Of
course,
some
of
those
risks
will
obviously
be
the
health
and
safety
of
minors,
but
one
of
the
critical
pieces
is
the
electrical
infrastructure.
That
is
an
important
piece
that
it
always
needs
to
be
protected.
K
Equipment
and
property
damage
the
interruption
of
operations
due
to
two
fryers
and
then,
of
course,
there's
the
environmental
impacts,
so
fires
threaten
valuable
wildlife
habitat,
especially
for
mule
deer
sage-grouse
and
Golden
Eagles
mining
operations,
expend
a
lot
of
money
and
effort
to
mitigate
impacts
to
Wow.
So
those
fires
present
a
real
threat
to
those
efforts.
K
Additionally,
wildfires
can
pose
a
threat
to
operations
undergoing
closure
and
in
post
closure.
Vegetative
covers
are
critical
to
water
management
and
closed
components
at
mines
such
as
tailing
impoundments,
waste
rock
piles
and
leach
pads
wildfires
can
also
impact
critical
infrastructure
for
post-mining
land
uses.
Mining
operations
are
evaluating
options
for
renewable
energy
generation
after
mining
has
ceased.
K
So
it
seems
unlikely
that
that
would
happen
again,
but
that
is
definitely
a
risk.
Some
of
the
risks
that
you'll
see
for
underground
mines
are
largely
the
same
as
with
service.
However,
there
are
a
few
major
differences,
the
first
being
ventilation
systems,
so
ventilation
systems
obviously
are
bringing
in
air
to
the
underground
mines.
And
so,
if
there's
smoke
in
the
air,
you'll
have
carbon
monoxide,
carbon
dioxide
and
that
could
get
pumped
down
into
the
underground
mines,
which
would
very
quickly
pretty
much
instantly
become
an
urgent
issue
requiring
the
emergency
escape
of
miners.
K
So
they
will
have
n95
South
W
65
self-rescuers,
which
the
old
on
those
work
to
exit
the
mine.
But
along
with
that,
if
there's
electrical
damage
and
there's
issues
with
hoist
or
powering
those
devices,
it
could
be
problematic
getting
them
out
of
the
mine
at
time.
So
those
two
really
lie
together
and
then,
of
course,
there's
the
interruption
of
operations,
but
ventilation
and
electrical
or
the
primary
risks
when
it
comes
to
the
underground
mines.
K
So
this
is
a
map
that
we've
had
put
together
with
minerals,
and
what
this
is
is
this
is
the
fire
danger,
wildfire
risk
index
map
and
overlaid
with
that
we've
got
the
major
mines
of
Nevada,
so
it's
not.
Every
single
mine
in
Nevada
is
there's
a
little
over
200
total.
But
this
is
all
the
all
the
major
ones
with
you
know:
10
or
more
employees,
and
so
they're
spread
pretty
pretty
randomly
throughout
the
state.
K
K
As
you
can
see
there,
there
are
a
few
mines
that
are
in
high-risk
areas,
and
so
in
this
model
here
the
blue
triangles
will
be
metal,
gold,
silver,
copper
mines,
the
gray
ones
will
be
industrial
minerals,
such
as
lithium,
ferrite
things
of
that
nature,
and
then
aggregates
are
the
black
ones
and
then
specimen
minerals
are
the
gemstone
mines.
We've
got
a
couple
of
those
throughout
the
state.
K
K
It's
been
the
annual
BLM
meeting,
so
we
have
a
state
preseason
preparedness
meeting
that
happens
between
the
mining
industry
and
BLM,
and
this
annual
meeting
has
worked
well
for
communication
and
making
sure
that
everyone's
on
the
same
page
on
how
things
should
proceed
during
the
fire
season,
lots
of
issues
have
been
worked
out
in
the
past
with
these
meetings.
This
is
how
we
were
able
to
overcome
the
tipping
issue
that
occurred
in
the
past.
K
We've
discussed
communication
issues
and
how
to
modify
communication
to
improve
response,
and
then
so
one
of
the
final
tools
that
of
mine
will
use
to
protect
the
the
property
would
be
defensible
space
and
so
might
as
well
prepare
a
safe
area
around
the
mine
perimeter
knows
the
defensible
space
and
then
during
wildfire
conditions.
The
space
is
utilized
to
act
as
a
barrier
between
approaching
fire
and
infrastructure
that
needs
to
be
defended,
and
this
can
be
done.
K
Last
I
wanted
to
discuss
some
of
the
success
stories
that
have
came
out
of
recent
years,
and
so
first
would
be
the
support
for
the
BLM
annual
preseason
meetings.
These
meetings
that
have
consistently
proven
to
be
a
benefit
for
the
industry,
we've
been
doing
them
for
I
believe
this
will
be
coming
up
on
the
third
year
and
it's
definitely
helped
to
iron
out
those
communication
issues,
as
well
as
increase
the
cohesion
and
firefighting
efforts.
K
We've
been
working
on
sharing
fire
danger
information,
and
so
that's
a
network
of
if
there's
a
fire
it's
coming
in
this
direction
and
that
way
we're
able
to
better
respond
and
get
those
minds
that
are
able
to
respond
to
respond
as
needed,
and
the
great
example
of
that
would
be.
The
the
cortez
mine
and
I
do
believe.
Rich
Meyer
was
involved
in
this
specific
situation
where
a
700-acre,
copper
fire
from
2018
was
fully
suppressed
by
Barret
Cortes.
K
The
the
fire
occurred
when
BLM
had
multiple
unstaffed
fires,
and
then
mutual
benefits
were
realized
when
the
BLM,
with
suppression
of
costs
and
resource
damage
and
beric,
by
protecting
the
critical
mine
infrastructure
and
keeping
the
mine
open
and
operate.
So
some
of
the
training
would
be
from
the
BLM
is
over
150
mine
employees
have
been
trained
and
wildland
fire
dozer
used
through
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding
over
the
past
two
years.
A
copy
of
those
MOU
MOU
document
is
included
in
your
packet
as
well,
and
then
geospatial
mined
data.
K
So
the
industry
has
been
working
with
the
BLM
to
identify
potential
water
sources
that
can
be
used
for
dipping
during
fire
control
situations.
There
is
also
a
significant
risk
if
the
dipping
occurring
from
an
impoundment
that
may
have
to
Taman
its
chemicals
or
even
fuel
that
could
help
fuel
the
fire.
K
So
we
continue
those
discussions
and
we're
also
discussing
on
increasing,
warn
mapping
into
the
BLM
collector
app
that
will
identify
power
lines,
power,
infrastructure
and
high-value
targets,
really
those
those
critical
infrastructure
pieces
that
we
are
looking
to
really
defend
that
are
important,
such
as
the
power
infrastructure
that
would
be
to
an
underground
line
and
with
that
I
think
we're
ready
for
for
questions.
I.
J
J
There
are
others
who,
just
like
a
regular
citizens
and
a
regular
business
businesses,
their
only
resources
to
actually
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
for
help.
So
we
do
have
a
wide
variety
of
responses,
depending
on
what
the
resources
of
that
mine
are,
and
so
that's
just
something
to
keep
in
keep
in
mind.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
entire.
He
must
have
read
my
mind,
I
guess
you
know
over
the
years
as
we've
dealt
with
this
issue
and
as
I
looked
at
your
notes,
you're
saying
you've
got
approximately
150
personnel
that
are
certified
actually
red
carded,
so
they
could
go
out
on
a
fire
and
I
guess
that
depends
on
how
many
of
our
shift
I
think
if
there's
kind
of
a
hole
in
the
program
that
we
I
would
like
to
see
personally
across
Northern
Nevada
is,
is
the
ability,
as
the
mining
industry,
to
respond.
E
In
many
cases
they
do
have
equipment,
ie,
large
motor,
graders
or
and
and/or
water
trucks
that
could
respond,
and
in
many
cases
they
really
don't
respond
until
it's
actually
a
threat
to
their
facility
or
I,
either
their
power
lines
or
infrastructure.
So
you
know,
I
was
just
hoping
as
we
work
towards
this.
They
definitely
have
the
equipment
they
have
the
personnel
if
we
could
kind
of
focus
on
additional
training
there,
an
additional
certification
and
additional
protection
from
the
mining
industry.
Sorry
Tyree.
J
J
If
then,
our
ability
to
continue
to
strengthen
our
relationship
within
the
communities
again,
sometimes
getting
a
piece
of
equipment
from
the
buying
side
actually
to
where
a
fire
is
is
actually
brewing,
is,
is
it's
a
difficulty
within
itself
again
recognizing
the
size
of
some
of
those
equipments,
but
I
believe
that
we're
working
on
creating
some
of
those
mutual
aid
agreements
and
again
was
the
establishment
of
some
of
our
smaller
members.
Actually
turning
into
joint
ventures
and
things
like
that,
I
believe
that
the
ability
to
have
asset
sharing
is
something
that
we'll
see
in
the
future.
K
Writing
for
the
record
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
stress
that
there
are
many
mutual
aid
agreements
out
there,
where
mines
to
come
to
the
aid
of
counties,
cities
and
things
of
that.
But
as
tyree
mentioned,
it
is
definitely
an
issue
to
get
a
piece
of
equipment.
If
you're
talking
about
a
d12
dozer,
it's
it's.
A
very
large
piece
of
equipment
is
a
huge
challenge
in
itself
and
just
tramming
that
vehicle
directly
to
the
site.
They
only
move
at
I
want
to
say,
probably
10
to
15
miles
per
hour.
K
L
With
state
fire,
so
yeah
I
was
directly
involved
with
a
few
of
these
senator
kochiya.
Actually,
most
of
the
fires
that
we
responded
to
when
I
was
the
chief
emergency
response
at
Cortese
were
not
actually
threatening
our
property.
We're
actually
responding
to
help
our
surrounding
communities
with
limited
resources,
so
that
was
what
was
important
about
the
MOU
agreement
that
we
drafted
with
the
BLM
and
developing
that
relationship
with
Brockie
leagues
and
some
demos
around
the
site.
L
E
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that
I'll
go
back
to
a
fire
that
was
at
Bald
Mountain.
We
were
there
fighting.
It
was
very
close
to
my
property
and
I'll,
never
forget
they.
They
put
a
d9
in
one
of
those
haul
packs
and,
of
course
they
put
a
scoop
of
dirt
in
there
to
patrol
the
cadion
when
they
come
off
the
hill
I
thought
where
in
the
hell
they
get
that
six,
but
when
he
dumped
it
it
was
a
nine.
So
now
they
move
him
a
lot
faster
than
us,
Cowboys
Kim.
Thank
you.
L
So
we
rich
mine
for
the
record,
but
we
would
we
couldn't
we
coordinated
with
everybody.
We
I
don't
know
if
you
knew
I
worked
for
a
large
mining
company,
so
we
had
actually
EMS
fire
structural
fire
wildland
fire
while
hazmat
response.
So
we
it
was
our
effort,
the
last
five
years
to
really
get
community
engagement
and
that
and
get
out
in
the
community,
and
let
them
know
that
we
what
we
could
do
as
an
emergency
response
team.
L
So
yeah
we
worked
with
a
lot
of
those
community
outreach
programs
to
just
get
out
there
and
let
them
know
that
we
can
help
them
and
that
actually,
just
during
my
tenure
at
that
large
in
mine,
we
responded
to
multiple
things
that
weren't
just
wildland
fire.
We
would
actually
go
out
for
hazmat
response
and
and
things
of
that
nature
as
well.
So
it's
been
a
high
priority
of
the
months
response,
Department
and
those
big
bigger
mining
companies
to
actually
get
out
in
the
community,
and
let
them
know
that
we
were
there
to
help
than
that.
L
And
just
answer
your
question:
I
didn't
specifically
cooperate
with
Nevada
Division
of
Forestry,
while
I
was
there.
It's
been.
It's
been
a
few
years
now.
I
can't
speak
to
what
they're
doing
at
this
point.
Mainly,
we
worked
at
the
BLM
because
we're
operating
in
a
and
a
BLM
in
an
environment
on
land
and
our
local
EMS
and
fire
companies
around
us.
So
for
me
it
was
mainly
Eureka.
County
I've
worked
a
lot
with
the
Eureka
County
EMS
Department
and
the
yeren
County
volunteer,
firefighters
and
and
the
BLM.
So
that's
who
I
partnered,
with
mostly.
A
Thank
you
for.
Do
you
think
that
I'm
reaching
out
to
our
local
partners
is
really
important,
I
think
over
the
time
that
I've
been
working
on
wildfire
issues,
that's
been
a
bit
of
a
weak
point
that
we
see
state
and
federal,
having
great
conversations,
but
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
more
outreach
to
the
locals.
I
would
say
that
it's
probably
a
good
idea
to
kind
of
get
in
touch
with
and
link
up
with
a
Nevada
Division
of
Forestry.
A
There
was
a
study
that
came
out
by
the
Forest
Service
think
it
was
last
fall
suggesting
like
this
shared
stewardship,
let's
run
through
the
state,
and
so
we've
been
kind
of
having
those
conversations
of
having
that
state
office
as
being
kind
of
the
focus
of
of
efforts
and
moving
toward
that
in
the
future.
So
I
would
encourage
that.
My
other
question
is:
you
talked
about
the
150
people.
I
want
to
be
on
top
that
are
trained
to
work
on
fighting
fires.
How
are
those
folks
distributed?
L
I'll
take
this
one
Joe,
but
so
so
how
I
did
it
is
it
was?
It
was
my
responsibility
to
staff.
We
run
more
on
like
a
volunteer
basis
of
most
of
our
emergency
response.
Personnel
were
actually
hourly
work
force,
so
they'd
actually
be
on
shift.
It
was
my
goal
and
it
was
written
in
our
emergency
response
plan
that
we
would
have
10%
of
the
workforce
at
any
time,
be
be
part
of
the
immense
response
team
and
we
had
every
modality
of
rescue
that
they
would
have
to
be
trained
in.
L
So,
if
you're
looking
at
a
larger
operation,
we're
adding
one
point
in
time
we
would
have
you
know:
50
people
on
the
surface
operation
I'd
have
five
and
then
probably
another
six
in
the
underground,
so
I
had
about
when
I
left
about
18
per
shift
at
Cortez
alone
and
then
at
Gold
Strike.
It
was
about
the
same
so
15
to
16
and
that's
another
slide.
We
used
and
we
use
their
underground
and
we
started
training
them.
So
we
got
larger
groups
of
people
that
could
respond
and
in
a
given
time.
A
And
that
would
matter
on
the
location,
because
we
know
that
some
of
our
matza
mines
are
not
in
areas
that
have
a
lot
of
fires,
but
some
are
in
that
map
show
that
some
of
our
minds
are
in
really
high
burn
areas
for
high
frequency
burn
areas.
Do
we
see
that
we,
where
you
have
make
sure
you
make
that
quota
there,
but
other
places
it
may
matter?
It
may
not
be
necessary
to
have
that
many
people
with
that
skill.
L
So
we
based
all
of
our
decisions
off
a
hazard
analysis
that
we
did
a
high
level
hazard
analysis
so
specifically
at
the
cortes
site.
Wildman
was
our
number
one
number
one
hazard
that
we
felt
that
was
going
to
impact
our
site,
so
there
was
obviously
more
emphasis
put
on
training
our
wildland
firefighters.
We
trained
wildland
fire
three
to
four
times
a
year
and
we
are
always
going
out
to
assist
the
BLM
Gold
Strike
as
well.
L
They
had
it
up
there
number
one
as
well
as
well
and
fire
there,
but,
for
example,
if
you're
looking
at
it,
you
know
specific
underground
line.
That's
in
you
know
just
has
a
small
footprint,
and
it's
not
really.
You
know
in
a
quarter
fire
zone
they're,
probably
going
to
focus
more
on
you
know,
underground
rescue
and
making
sure
that
they
get
their
their
packs
trained
and
they
get
this.
It
depends
on.
The
mine
site
depends
on
where
you
rat
your
geographic
location
that
you're
gonna
specifically
focus
on
fire.
L
K
Ronnie
for
the
records
yeah,
just
to
add
to
rich
said,
is
if
the
mine
is
right.
Next
to
town
chances
are
they're,
gonna
have
very
few
people
who
are
wildfire,
trained
and
ready
to
go,
but
the
further
out
you
get
you
will
definitely
have
considerable
amounts.
So
if
you're
looking
at
Twin
Creeks
a
mine,
that's
you
know
a
good
hour
away
from
town.
K
They're
gonna
have
plenty
of
Emergency
Response
folks
they're
people
trained,
but
if
you're
looking
at
like
Robinson
mine,
which
is
located
just
five
miles
outside
of
Ely
they'll,
have
much
less
and
of
course
it
again
as
Tyree
had
mentioned,
it
really
ties
in
on
the
size
of
the
mine.
So
if
you're,
a
small
mine
operator
with
19
employees,
you're
gonna
have
folks
that
are
first
aid
trained,
you're
gonna
have
first
responders
on
your
mind
site,
but
it's
unlikely
that
you'll
have
people
trained
in
Wow
firefighting.
A
Thank
you
that
will
makes
sense
and
I
have
one
last
question
and
I
can't
write
this
up,
but
someone
mentioned
you
know
you,
don't
you
don't
want
to
take
a
dozer
through
a
bunch
of
cultural
resources?
You
need
to
wait
until
you
hear
from
the
BLM
about
where,
where
that
could
be,
and
it's
something
like
in
these
conversations
around
wildfires
that
I've
been
thinking
about,
is
how
to
better
have
resources
and
everyone's
fingertips.
A
name
is
Jesse.
Mr.
maybe
popped
up
so
I
thought
you
could
help
us
out
with
this
so
making
things
like
those
Maps
really
easily
accessible,
at
least
to
partners,
so
that
so
that,
if,
if
there's
a
fire
that
is
threatening
resources,
the
a
given
mine
who
has
trained
folks
there
doesn't
have
to
wait
for
the
BLM,
but
could
head
right
out
there
because
they've
got
those
those
maps.
And
so,
if
you
had
talked
to
me
a
little
bit
about
what
is
being
shared
and
what's
working.
And
what
do
we
still
need
to
work
on?
D
So
so
in
any
fire,
I
mean
it
goes
through
a
number
of
stages,
and
so,
when
we're
talking
about
the
the
initial
attack
phase,
that's
when
we
first
attacked
the
fire
and
and
and
then
do
that,
an
initial
response.
You
know
many
times-
that's
going
to
be
very
rapid
in
terms
of
the
aircraft
they're
delivered
to
that
site,
and
so
it
becomes
a
primary
on
aerial
response
to
begin
with.
And
then
it's
engines,
roll
out
to
the
scene
and
the
sizing
up.
D
The
fires
are
getting
an
attack
strategy
together
and
when
we're
talking
about,
then
heavy
equipment
and
dozers.
Those
dozers
typically
are
going
to
be
used
as
more
indirect
line,
and
so
there
is
a
bit
of
time
again.
There's
the
immediate
initial
response,
there's
going
to
be
the
the
sizing
up
and
then
the
planning
for
how
do
the
strategies
and
tactics
on
a
fire
and
we're
talking
about
the
dozers
coming
in.
D
It
does
take
some
time
to
mobilize
those
and
at
the
same
time,
we
mobilize
our
what
we
call
our
resource,
advisors
and,
and
those
folks
have
with
them
all
of
the
locations
on
whether
it's
threatened
endangered
species
or
sensitive
plants
or
archaeological
or
cultural
resource
and
sites.
They
have
that
information
from
our
GIS
system
and
and
it
is
available
for
them,
so
they
can
work
with
the
operator
of
that
piece
of
equipment
as
they're
constructing
line
to
identify
where
they
would
construct
line
and
then
be
able
to
construct
that
effectively.
D
Now
you
know
there
are
always
perceptions
about
the
timeframe
it
takes
to
respond,
there's
the
perceptions
about
whether
somebody
was
readily
available
to
get
a
hold
of
you
know.
My
experience
has
been
that
ninety-five
percent
of
the
time
those
things
are
easily
remedied
with
again
making
that
call
tree
contact
to
the
next
available
person
and
working
it
through
that
to
make
sure
that
happens,
our
art,
our
information,
our
deal,
our
geographic
information
system-
does
have
all
of
those
sites
in
them
that
work
that
we
know
of
it's.
D
We
do
that
make
that
available
to
folks
in
the
wildland
fire
community
and
into
partners
to
you
know
again
to
the
extent
we
can
provide
that
general
location.
It's
some
information,
quite
frankly,
is
sensitive
and
protected
by
by
law,
and
so
we
have
to
be
mindful
of
that,
and
and
sometimes
that
does
take
some
working
through
in
rare
circumstances,
but
but
by
and
large
it's
the
exception
and
not
the
rule
that
things
are
delayed.
D
Well,
there's
any
sort
of
inordinate
delay.
When
there's
you
know
not
information
available
I
mean
that's
been
my
experience
overall
and
it
just
again
we
got
a.
We
got
to
keep
in
mind
as
we're
as
we're
working
on
these.
You
know
responses
that
it
has
been
and
I
just
want
to
thank
I'm
gonna,
take
them
in
and
just
really
thank
Tyree
and
Dylan
rich
for
their
incredible
efforts
and
individual
Minds
efforts
as
well
Mining
Association
for
their
work
towards
being
a
partner
in
a
unified
response
involving
fire.
D
We
talk
about
federal,
state,
local
and
and
and
County
response,
and
in
that
local
response,
again
is
is
significant
acts
aspect
of
making
sure
were
effectively
were
supplying.
The
blob
and
fires,
and
and
the
folks
in
the
my
community
do
that
incredibly
well
and
as
well
as
the
ranching
community
in
that
part
of
our
rancher
liaison
program
and
those
folks
that
live
out
there,
they're
out
there
on
scene
and
in
many
times
as
the
first
tourist
plaintiff.
Or
thank
you
for
that.
K
L
L
Think
that's
the
biggest
success
or
we've
seen
so
far
is
actually
that
open
line
of
communication
at
one
point
in
time,
Brock
and
I
did
he
just
called
me.
He
had
my
cell
phone
number
so
and
we
respond
to
even
farther
outside
resources
at
that
point.
So
it's
a
pretty
successful
relationship
at
this
point.
E
And
I
really
appreciate
it
rich,
but
in
a
it's
all
about
initial
attack
and
the
ability
of
the
mining
company
to
to
quickly
respond.
Of
course,
I'm
very
I
know
rock
rock
very
well
and
I
know
your
area
there
in
Cortez
in
the
Crescent
Valley,
but
you
talked
about
the
700
acre,
copper
fire
in
Crescent
Valley,
that's
30
minutes.
You
know
in
Crescent
Valley
with
a
little
wind
in
that
cheatgrass.
It's
all
about
initial
response
and
I
really
appreciate
you
know
in
most
areas
and
the
progress
we've
made
you
know
ten
years
ago.
E
It
was
not
unusual
not
to
get
a
response
from
my
mind
and
today
we
do
see
it
and
I
think
a
lot
of
it
is
local
fire
departments
reaching
out.
They
do
have
fire
plans
and
contingency
plans
in
place
and
I
really
appreciate
what
what
they're
doing
it's
just.
We
can
never
have
enough
and
that's
my
comment.
A
Okay,
seeing
none!
Thank
you
so
much
gentlemen
for
for
being
here
today
and
mr.
gray.
We
are
very
honored
to
be
your
first
committee
presentation
in
your
new
position.
Congratulations
so
thank
you
so
much
and
have
a
safe
holiday
weekend.
So
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
agenda
item
six,
this
is
our
work
session,
so
you
should
have
that
document
in
front
of
you.
It's
also
on
the
website
committee's
website.
Just
as
a
quick
reminder,
we
do
get
five
bills
from
this
committee,
but
we
can
also
have
letters
that
we
could
send
out.
A
So
there
are
some
of
those
on
the
list.
I
will
also
say
that
the
work
session
document
you
see
ahead
of
you
is
maybe
not
as
bold
as
all
of
us
would
have
liked
to
have
been
I.
Think
the
senator
Goku,
Chia
and
I
had
had
grand
plans,
but
in
light
of
the
budget
constraints
that
we're
currently
under
we
as
we
develop
this
list,
we
really
tried
to
pull
back
any
that
have
significant
fiscal
notes,
tried
to
really
emphasize
things
that
we
could
do
in
the
2021
session.
A
That
had
no
fiscal
note,
so
that
we
can
make
some
progress
on
wildfires
in
this
legislative
session,
because
we
know
that
financially,
there
won't
be
a
lot
of
money
this
time
around
for
programs.
So
while
this
may
not
be
as
exciting
as
we
all
had
hoped,
it
will
definitely
get
us
in
the
right
moving
in
in
a
good
direction.
A
B
B
The
the
work
session
document
is
designed
to
assist
the
committee
in
determining
what
actions
versus
to
take
each
item
in
is
talking,
may
be
subject
for
discussion,
refinement
or
action
and
I
am
some
not
listen,
provincial
order
and
either
are
there
enthused
and
expression
of
support
by
the
committee
and
yes,
chair
I
mentioned
in
general.
The
committee
can
request
its
draft
either
bills
or
resolutions
sent
letters
or
put
a
position
statement
as
filed
report.
B
It
is
important
to
remember
that
the
committee
is
limited
by
statute
to
five
legislative
measures
and
any
recommended
legislation
proposed
by
the
committee
must
be
approved
by
a
majority
of
the
members
of
the
Senate,
a
majority
of
members
of
the
assembly.
With
that
short
introduction,
I'm
ready
to
walk
committee
through
the
work
session
document
self
and
three
recommendations.
If
you
wish
chair
yes,.
B
Recommendation
a
in
the
first
of
a
nation
and
found
the
community
today
is
to
draft
a
bill
to
codify
in
statute
the
wildland
fire
protection
program,
the
Nevada
Network,
a
fire
adapted
communities
and
the
Nevada
fire
board
of
directors
with
Nevada
Division
of
Forestry.
Additionally,
the
bill
would
create
an
incentive
program
under
the
Commissioner
of
Insurance
to
encourage
insurance,
related
incentives
for
Nevada
homeowners
that
become
and
maintain
unified
after
community
status.
B
E
A
E
Couple
of
quick
questions
that
you
know
I
and
I,
guess
it'll
all
depend
on
what
the
bill
itself
and
and
how
much
statutory
change
or
how
much
is
tied
to
it.
When
we
actually
see
it
drafted.
You
know
it
right
now:
it's
it's
pretty
gray
and
pretty
vague
and
probably
intended
to
be
so
just
so.
We
can
kind
of
work
with
it
as
we
as
we
move
forward.
Clearly,
there's
some
benefits
to
expanding
some
of
these
programs.
A
Okay
and
and
I
think
I'm
just
having
a
green
block.
This
is
what
nobody
needs
it.
We
vote
on
each
one
individually,
correct
mr.
Sinha's,
BEC,
sorry,
Brooke,
okay,
so
I
think
we
could.
We
could
take
a
vote
on
this,
so
I
take
a
motion
to
include
a
the
wildfire
protection
program
as
a
one
of
our
BB
hours
for
the
next
legislative
session
motion
I
see
a
motion
by
Senator
Brooks
in
a
second
second:
do
we
you
need
to
have
one
from
each
house.
H
You
don't
need
a
motion
from
each
house,
but
the
vote
needs
to
be
at
least
two
senators
and
at
least
two
Assembly
members
and
just
to
clarify.
Are
you
you're
taking
the
entire
recommendation
under
this
motion
that
would
create
the
wildland
fire
protection
program
than
about
a
network
of
fire
adapted
communities,
the
Nevada
fire
board
of
directors
and
then
the
insurance
incentive
program
as
one
motion
in
one
meteor?
Yes,.
A
H
In
total,
the
work
session
document
proposes
five
BTR's.
The
recommendation
that
you're
taking
right
now
is
recommendation
a
in
the
work
session
document
and
all
of
those
would
be
created
in
one
BTR.
So
if
the
committee
voted
to
approve
this
motion,
then
all
of
these
would
be
created
in
one
BDR
and
then
further
down
in
the
work
session.
We
would
be
considering
the
approval
of
other
videos
and.
A
A
There's
going
to
be
sure
there
was
a
there
was
a
question
from
other
members
and
and
just
to
clarify
for
our
new
members.
A
letter
does
not
constitute
a
PDR
correct,
correct,
correct!
Thank
you.
Okay,
any
me
I
need
to
Skype
any
other
discussion
of
a
motion
from
Senator
Brooks
in
a
second
from
Senator
Scheible
Emmy,
for
their
discussion.
E
C
A
B
Thank
you.
The
next
recommendations
related
to
our
fire
prevention
and
fuels
reduction
and
the
first
gradation
under
Section
B
1,
is
to
draft
the
bill
to
remove
restrictions
on
the
classification
of
noxious
weeds.
The
bill
would
authorize
the
state
court
an
officer
to
declare
by
regulation
the
resource
data
are
like
sweets,
regardless
of
whether
Dewees
is
we
deserve
alway,
introduced
and
established
a
state
to
such
an
extent
as
to
make
its
control
impact
able
and
judgement
the
statement
an
officer.
This
change
would
allow
state
crime
to
officer
to
classify
cheatgrass
as
a
noxious
weed.
A
A
E
A
It
is
currently
under
state
statute.
It
is
in
a
piece
of
statute
that
I
believe
comes
from
love
about
1912
that
actually
disallows
the
movement
of
a
classification
of
cheatgrass
as
a
noxious
weed.
The
state
quarantine
officer
currently
cannot
if
they
would
so
choose
classified
as
a
noxious
weed.
This
would
merely
allow
them
to.
If
they
chose
to
it
would
not
move.
It
would
not
change
the
classification.
It
would
just
remove
that
restriction.
There's
currently
a
restriction,
it's
not
specifically
for
cheatgrass.
E
C
C
H
The
state
quarantine
officer
can
declare
by
regulation
weeds
of
the
state
that
are
noxious
weeds.
There
is
a
limitation
on
the
authority
of
the
state
quarantine
officer
to
do
that
if
the
weed
is
already
introduced
and
established
in
the
state
to
such
an
extent
as
to
make
its
control
impracticable.
In
the
judgment
of
the
state,
quarantine
officer,
it's
my
understanding
that
the
state
quarantine
officer
has
not
been
able
to
name
cheatgrass
as
a
noxious
weed
because
of
this
language.
C
I
G
A
Thank
You,
Assemblyman,
Titus
and
I'll
say
this.
This
as
I
believe
senator
go.
Katia
may
remember.
From
the
last
session,
I
had
been
running
around
the
building
trying
to
find
bill.
It
opened
an
RS
555,
so
I
could
amend
this
in,
but
to
no
avail.
There
was
no
place
to
put
it
last
session,
so
this
seems
like
the
best
move
forward.
Any
further
discussion.
C
C
B
So
the
next
recommendation
b2
is
to
draft
the
letter
to
the
Bureau
of
Land
Management
to
encourage
the
consideration
of
land
swap
agreements
to
reduce
hazardous
fuels.
A
specifically
letter
would
call
for
the
reduction
of
hazard
fuels
in
the
hard-to-reach
check
about
landscape
of
public
private
parcel
in
Northern
Nevada.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mister
Stannis
Beck,
so
with
that
I
will
take
a
a
motion
and
basically
reading
a
letter
to
encourage
some
movement
on
doing
with
our
checkerboard
lands.
Here
in
Nevada,
I'll,
take
a
motion
motion
by
Senator
Akaka
Chia
in
a
second
second
by
Senator
Scheible.
Okay,
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
B
Thank
You
chair
the
next
item
per
quarter
committee
is
c1
and
the
next
section
of
this
work
search
document
relates
to
our
fire
management.
Specifically,
the
first
radiation
under
Section
C
1,
is
to
draft
a
letter
of
support
for
the
deer
either.
That's
a
research
institute
to
study
the
potential
use
of
unmanned
aircraft
systems
for
wildfire
management.
A
E
Just
a
question,
madam
chair
and
again
I'm
not
sure
we're
gonna,
look
at
it
and
study
it
I
understand
by,
but
you
know
again,
that's
being
more
and
more
regulated
and
probably
needs
to
be.
If
there's
an
issue
on
almost
every
while
on
fire
today,
it's
you
know,
warning
the
public
not
to
fly.
You
know
unmanned
aerial
vehicles
around
the
side
of
the
fire,
so
it's
gonna
be
sticky,
no
matter
what
we
do
with
it,
but
it
needs
to
be
addressed.
C
C
A
B
A
C
B
Regulation
D
is
to
draft
a
bill
to
authorize
cities,
counties
and
general
Improvement
Districts
to
recover
expenses
and
cured
in
fighting
wildfires.
The
bill
also
authorizes
little
government
entities
and
the
State
Forest
or
Fire
Warden
to
require
attorney
fees
and
costs
if
they
bring
litigation
to
cover
such
expenses.
The
recommendations
made
by
the
Nevada
International
Association
of
arson
investigators
and
came
through
the
solicitation
recommendation,
Thank
You,
chair.
A
A
H
So
under
current
law,
the
State
Forest
or
Fire
Warden
and
the
fire
protection
districts
created
under
Chapter
474
of
NRS,
they
can
charge
the
expenses
to
a
person,
firm
association
or
agency
that
is
responsible
for
willfully
or
negligently
causing
the
wildfire.
So
I
believe
the
recommendation
would
be
to
give
the
similar
authority
to
the
cities,
counties
and
G
IDs.
So
it
would
be
the
person
firm,
association
or
agency
that
is
found
responsible
for
willfully
or
negligently
causing
the
fire
I.
E
Don't
mind
saying
you
know
we
go
ahead
and
have
the
discussion
to
bring
the
bill
forward,
but
it
does
give
me
some
real
pause
if
we're
gonna
have
say
local
governments,
in
fact
again,
if
negligence
is
hard
to
prove
and
technically
we're
coming
right
back
to
our
our
constituency
to
to
you,
know,
find
them
at
fault
and
hit
them
with
ten
million
dollar
bills.
If
you
know
so,
I
am
a
little
nervous
about
that.
E
C
A
C
B
Recommendation
is
to
draft
a
letter
to
Nevada
and
California
utilities
to
encourage
court
implementation
to
their
wildfire
mitigation
plans,
especially
as
it
relates
to
the
Lake
Tahoe
Basin
I,
believe
it
has
some
public
comment
on
that
today
and
the
recommendation
came
from
mr.
Adler
for
an
international
third
of
Electrical
Workers,
Local
1245
and
came
out
of
the
solicitation
or
foundation.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
A
C
A
A
A
B
The
last
recommendation
from
the
committee,
today's
recommendation
G,
is
to
draft
a
resolution
recognizing
that
forest,
health
and
water
quality
are
inextricably
linked.
The
resolution
would
express
the
poor
for
federal
state
and
local
garments
to
work
with
water,
purveyors
and
other
stakeholders
to
identify
watersheds
that
can
be
improved
upon
I
bet
our
forest
health
measures.
Thank
you.
A
C
A
L
A
A
Already,
thank
you
so
we'll
come
back
and
go
to
the
first
person
in
public
comment.
Please
remember
to
state
and
spell
your
name:
I
mean
comments,
will
be
lists,
limited
to
three
minutes
and
stuff,
we'll
be
timing,
each
speaker
and
give
you
a
30
minute
heads-up
when
you're
giving
toward
the
end
of
your
three
minutes.
The
thirty
second
heads
up.
Thank
you.
C
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
at
Tracy
Bauer,
with
the
desert
Research
Institute
tra
cy
Bo
wer
on
behalf
of
our
faculty
I'd,
just
like
to
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
draft
a
letter
of
support
of
the
eyes,
wildfire
research
efforts
to
explore
ways
to
safely
utilize
drones
and
improve
fire
response
and
firefighter
safety.
We
appreciate
the
work
of
the
committee
and
your
willingness
to
draft
a
letter
of
support.
Thank.
D
C
A
A
Thank
you,
sir.
So
with
that
I
want
to
be
sure
to
thank
the
committee
and
we
it's
been
a
short
ride,
but
we've
I
think
we've
gotten
a
lot
done
in
our
in
our
floor
meetings,
even
with
only
one
of
those
peeing
in
person,
but
thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
hard
work
and
I
also
want
to
be
sure
to
thank
Senator
Coco
Chia.
A
We
have
been
doing
this
for
a
little
while
on
this
wildfire
stuff,
and
hopefully
we
have
gotten
it
to
some
place
and
we'll
keep
going
so
with
that
we
have
no
further
business.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
all
of
your
time
and
efforts
you
put
into
this
committee
and
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
All
have
a
safe
holiday
weekend.
