You can move forward on the report. I will follow up with the applicant separately if necessary.

Thanks.

RE: Report for McElmo Flare2 Good morning Shaheerah,

I am

wondering what your thoughts are on this project. I really need to invoice Resolute for this portion of work and I do

not know if I should call it "final" and send the report into NNHPD TCP or wait on your advisement.

Rena, thanks for the

opportunity to review and comment on the report. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.

Below are my comments on the report. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss

them. Thanks.

1. The

first page states

"Confidential

Report". Are you claiming the report to be confidential business information (CBI)? If so, and the EPA receives a

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the report, we will have to ask you to substantiate your claim of CBI.

EPA will review your substantiation and determine if the report is CBI. If it is determined to be CBI, the EPA will not

release the report to the public; but if EPA determines it is not CBI the document will be released (barring the

initiation of legal

action).

2.

Pursuant to Section 106 of

the National

Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and its implementing regulations at 36 CFR Part 800, prior to approval of the

undertaking, EPA is required to take into account the effects of its undertakings on historic properties. Page

10 of the draft report states "Pursuant to consultations between the US EPA and NNHPD, the Navajo Nation's

Traditional Cultural Program decided to concentrate on the potential effects of this undertaking on traditional lifeways

and traditional cultural places within a 50 km radius of the main flare, and to require consultation with traditional

practitioners who perform cultural activities within this area radius." It also states "NNHPD decided not to require

consideration of archaeological resources within this 50 km radius area except for any that are also considered

traditional cultural places in the literature or the interviews."3 There is a question whether the radius is appropriate given the nature and scope of the project. We understand you

have already completed much field work on traditional lifeways and traditional cultural places. We would like to

discuss whether a smaller radius is more appropriate (e.g.

1 km or 5 km) for evaluating potential effects of the undertaking on historic properties within the smaller radius. If

this is feasible, we would need to get agreement from the parties involved (i.e., THPO, Resolute, and EPA), and have

this information included in the report.

3. It is not

clear

whether the recommendations on pages

18

‐ 19 are adverse impacts on historic properties. Is it your position that there will be adverse effects on historic

properties? If there are going to be adverse impacts on historic properties, it will likely necessitate the need for all of

the appropriate parties to enter into a memorandum of agreement in order to delineate the mitigation measures

which must be followed.

4.

Part of

the address (i.e., the city, state, and zip code) for Resolute Energy Company is missing from the cover page of the

report.

Re: Report for

Flare

Hello

Shaheerah,

The report is

attached for

your review. Please add any names or statements. As I have been telling you, this was a very interesting project. We

tried our best to cover what the NNHPD wanted. If you need to discuss anything I am here at the office today and

tomorrow.

I will send you a copy of the

fieldnotes without the names

shortly too.
