“ the President of the United States is hereby authorized, in his discretion, to declare by public proclamation historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest that are situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the Government of the United States to be national monuments, and may reserve as a part thereof parcels of land, the limits of which in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be protected.”
Limits on presidential authority? Size? Scope?

"We are saying very simply, our parents and grandparents saved the Grand Canyon for us; today, we will save the Grand Escalante Canyons and the Kaiparowits Plateaus of Utah for our children.“

“On this site, on this remarkable site, God's handiwork is everywhere in the natural beauty of the Escalante Canyons and in the Kaiparowits Plateau, in the rock formations that show layer by layer billions of years of geology, in the fossil record of dinosaurs and other prehistoric life, in the remains of ancient American civilizations like the Anacosi Indians.”

“MAJOR MODIFICATION” IS CENTRAL TOBOTH NSR ENFORCEMENT AND REFORMS
Historic and still current (in most of U.S.) definition of “major modification:” Any physical change in or change in the method of
operation of an existing major source that would result in a significant net emissions increase of any pollutant subject to regulation under the CAA

THE EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT PROVISION – BUSH EPA RULE
An activity (or aggregation of activities) will fall under the RMR&R exclusion if:
1. It involves replacement of any existing component(s) of a process unit with identical or functionally equivalent components;
2. The fixed capital costs of the replaced component(s) plus the costs of activities that are part of the replacement effort do not exceed 20% of the current replacement value of the process unit; and
3. The replacement component(s) does not alter the basic design parameters of the process unit or cause the process unit to exceed any legally enforceable emission or emission-constraining operational limitations applicable to the process unit

WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER?
The final leg of this 11-year odyssey to NSR reform is far from over The D.C. Circuit is reviewing the 2003 reform Review of Duke 2005 by the Supreme Court is being
sought States and environmental groups will fight the
proposed 2005 reform Will State resistance overwhelm the system? How long will it take EPA Regional Offices to
approve SIP revisions implementing the reforms in State PSD and NANSR regulations?

SENATOR REID (D-NV) LETTER TO CONSTITUENT
Thank you for contacting me about the Reducing Global Warming Pollution from Vehicles Act of 2008 (S. 2555). I appreciate hearing from you. … I have noted your support for the bill, and I will keep your thoughts in mind should it come before the full Senate. …I have always been a strong supporter of environmental protection and have fought for improvements to our major environmental laws such as the Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Air Act, and Superfund. I look forward to continuing to strengthen these and other environmental laws so even more can be accomplished.
Again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
