I have personal knowledge of the matters set forth in this declaration.

l. I am the Deputy Superintendent for the United States Department of the Interior, National

Park Service (NPS) at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, (Lake Mead NRA or Park). I

have served in this position since June of 2001. I have worked for the NPS since 1976. Lake

Mead NRA includes 1.5 million acres of national park lands within the states of Nevada and

Arizona,including 300,000 surface acres of water and provides recreational experiences for

over 7 million park visitors annually. As the Deputy Superintendent, I provide park

operational leadership and management for over 300 employees and 1200 volunteers in a

wide range of functional areas including law enforcement, emergency medical services,

search and rescue, wildland and structural fire, communication and dispatch services, visitor

services and education, fee management, cultural and resources management, commercial

services, maintenance and engineering, planning and project management, public affairs, and

business operations.

2. As the Deputy Superintendent, I oversee the response of NPS staff at Lake Mead NRA to

unauthorized cattle grazingand impacts from such grazing within Lake Mead NRA. The

area of Lake Mead NRA currently affected by trespass and stray cattle includes the west side

of the Overton Arm of Lake Mead from Echo Bay north to the northem boundary of Lake

Mead NRA and along the east side of the Overton Arm of Lake Mead to the Arizona state

line, which is referred to as the Overton Arm/Gold Butte Area (Overton Arm/Gold Butte

Area). The Overton Arm/Gold Butte Area corresponds to the area marked as New Trespass

Lands,, and',Former Bunkerville Allotment within Lake Mead NRA shown on the map

attached to this declaration as Attachment A. All of the federal land within the New T

Lands and the Former Bunkerville Allotment within Lake Mead NRA is administered by the

NPS pursuant to the statutes and regulations applicable to all units of the National Park

System. Attachment B to this declaration is a more detailed map of the Overton Arm/Gold

Butte Area within Lake Mead NRA showing the New Trespass Lands, the Former

Bunkerville Allotment, and significant landmarks within the Park, including Park roads,

beaches, and areas within Lake Mead.

3. As part of my responsibilities, I routinely review reports, memos, and oral briefings by the

Lake Mead NRA staff on the presence and impacts from trespass and stray cattle on

resources, visitors and staff, and park operations. As the Deputy Superintendent at Lake

Mead NRA, I have dealt with and been responsible for NPS's responses to trespass and stray

cattle within the Overton Arm/Gold Butte Area because cattle are not authorized to be within

that part of the Park, cattle have damaged park resources, cattle have presented a danger to

visitors and NPS staff at Lake Mead NRA, and the response by the NPS to the presence of

cattle has adversely affected Park operations and required the use of NPS resources that

could have been used to provide outdoor recreation opportunities to the public-

4. I first became aware of the presence and impacts of cattle in the Overton Arm/Gold Butte

Area upon my arrival to Lake Mead NRA in June of 2001. I was briefed that trespass and

stray cattle were within the Overton Arm/Gold Butte Area and were known to damage

resources. I have personally observed trespass and stray cattle in the Overton Arm/Gold

Butte Area. For the purposes of this declaration, I have reviewed Lake Mead NRA files and

records and have reviewed the Declarations by Alice Newton (dated December 18,2012;

Newton Declaration) and Mary Hinson (dated December 5,2012; Hinson Declaration), both

Lake Mead NRA staff, and the Declarations by Mary Jo Rugwell (dated December 17,2012;

Rugwell Declaration) and Lauren Brown (dated December l7 ,2012: Brown Declaration),

both of the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

The statute creating Lake Mead NRA, l6 U.S.C. $460n-3, allows for grazing within the

Park, subject to such limitations, conditions, or regulations that the Secretary of the Interior

may prescribe, and to the extent that it is not inconsistent with the recreational use or other

primary uses of the Park. Prior to approximately 1998, grazingon federal lands within Lake

Mead NRA was managed under a cooperative agreement between the NPS and the BLM.

Pursuant to that agreement, all authorized grazing within the Overton Arm/Gold Butte Area

was conducted under grazingpermits issued by the BLM on behalf of the NPS for designated

administrative areas referred to as allotments. The allotments administered by BLM

included public lands (BLM administered federal land) and federal land within Lake Mead

NRA administered by the NPS. Subsequent to the listing of the desert tortoise as a

threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act, BLM closed the public lands i

the allotments surrounding Lake Mead NRA and the federal lands within the Overton

Arm/Gold Butte Area to grazingand non-federal parties purchased and retired all of the

grazingprivileges within those allotments. (Rugwell Declaration fltT 3, 10, and I l.) Since

1998, the NPS has not separately authorized any grazingwithin the Overton Arm/Gold Butte

Area of Lake Mead. Currently, there is no authorized grazingwithin the Nevada portion of

Lake Mead NRA, including within the Overton Arm/Gold Butte Area.

6. Prior to 1994, Cliven Bundy had a permit to graze cattle within the allotment known as the

Bunkerville Allotment (shown as the Former Bunkerville Allotment on the maps attached as

Attachments A and B). Mr. Bundy's authorization to graze within the Bunkerville

Allotment, including that portion of the Former Bunkerville Allotment within Lake Mead

NRA, was terminated because Mr. Bundy failed to apply for the required permit and pay the

required fees. Mr. Bundy continued to have cattle within the Former Bunkerville Allotment

and in 1998 was found to be in trespass on federal lands in previous litigation involving Mr.

Bundyand the

UnitedStates (united States v. cliven Bund)', case No' cv-S-98-531-JBR

(RJJ)). The District Court issued a Permanent Injunction against Mr. Bundy from grazing

cattle on federal lands within the Former Bunkerville Allotment.

7. I have reviewed the records for Lake Mead NRA and found that at no time has Cliven Bundy

requested or received permission or authorization to graze or have cattle or to erect

improvements on or within the New Trespass Lands, except for temporary structures used by

Mr. Bundy to gather and remove his trespassing cattle. The last time that Lake Mead NRA

staff granted Mr. Bundy permission to have temporary structures to hold his trespassing

cattle while he removed them from Lake Mead NRA was during the summer of 2011'

Q.{ewton Declaration fl20); that temporary authorization is no longer in effect. Currently, Mr.

Bundy has no authorization to graze or have cattle or improvements within the Overton

Arm/Gold Butte Area or any other area of Lake Mead NRA'

8. Subsequent to the 1998 Injunction against Mr. Bundy until the present time, NPS staff,

contractors, and researchers, BLM staff, and visitors to Lake Mead have regularly observed

trespass and stray cattle within the Overton Arm/Gold Butte Area. Because of extended

drought, the level of Lake Mead has lowered substantially over the past decade from the most

recent high level in January 2000 to its lowest level in November 2010 as shown on

Attachment B. As the lake level lowered, trespass and stray cattle have migrated from the

Former Bunkerville Allotment and other areas outside the Park and spread south into the

former lake bed along the Virgin and Muddy Rivers, along the east side of the Overton Arm

of LakeMead, and into the west side of the Overton Arm, areas of Lake Mead NRA that had

never been authorized for any grazing. Cliven Bundy is the only person to claim to have

cattle or whose cattle have been identified by brands and/or earmarks within the Overton

Arm/Gold Butte Area, including both the Former Bunkerville Allotment and the New

Trespass Lands. When cattle with Mr. Bundy's brands or earmarks have been observed,

those cattle have been intermixed with cattle that have no identifiable brands or earmarks.

To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Bundy is the only person to have cattle within the Overton

Arm/Gold Butte Area, and therefore, all of the cattle observed by NPS and BLM staff within

the New Trespass Lands and the Former Bunkerville Allotment within Lake Mead NRA,

whether or not branded or earmarked, are Mr. Bundy's cattle.

g. NpS and BLM staff have documented trespass and stray cattle within the Overton Arm/Gold

Butte Area of Lake Mead NRA. I have reviewed and am familiar with the NPS records of

lands owned by the federal govemmentthat are administered by the NPS within the Overton

Arm/Gold Butte Area (NPS Lands) and state as follows:

a. The cattle discussed in paragraphs 5, 6, 7,8, and 1 1 of the Hinson Declaration, in

particular the cattle documented with brands andlor earmarks assigned to Cliven Bundy,

were all located on NPS Lands.

b. The cattle discussed in paragraphs 14, I7, 18, 2I, 23, 25, and26 of theNewton

Declaration, and as depicted on the maps on Attachments E, I, J, K, and M of the Newton

Declaration, in particular the cattle documented with brands and/or earmarks assigned to

Cliven Bundy, were all located on NPS Lands.

c. The cattle depicted as within Lake Mead NRA on the maps attached to the Brown

Declaration as Attachments A, B, C, and E were all located on NPS Lands.

10. Trespass and stray cattle have damaged or destroyed natural and cultural resources within

Lake Mead NRA (Newton Declaration flfl 12, 13, 15, 16,22, and24). In addition, trespass

and stray cattle present a serious threat to public safety by roaming on public roads, causing

traffrc accidents, and threatening people in the Park (Hinson Declaration flfl6,7, and 8). In

the past, parts of the Park were closed because of attacks of trespass or stray cattle on people

in the park. Because responding to trespass and stray cattle requires the NPS to re-direct

staff and resources from other needed functions in the Park, the cattle have a significant

adverse affect on Park operations. Because Cliven Bundy is the only person to have cattle

within Lake Mead, I believe that damage to natural and cultural resources, the threats to

public safety, and the affect on Park operations can be attributed to Mr. Bundy's cattle'

11. Lake Mead NRA staff have had interaction with Cliven Bundy or people who work for or

with Mr. Bundy including as described in the Declarations by Alice Newton and Mary

Hinson (Newton Declaration fl20; Hinson Declaration fll| 4,5,11, and l2). ln addition, I

corresponded on behalf of the NPS with Mr. Bundy regarding his trespass cattle as follows:

a. On November 10, 2011,I sent a letter to Mr. Bundy stating that his cattle were

trespassing on federal land within Lake Mead NRA and that the trespassing cattle

were damaging natural and cultural resources and threatening public health and

safety. I also informed Mr. Bundy that his cattle would be subject to impoundment if

he did not remove them from Lake Mead NRA. At true and correct copy of the letter

that I sent to Mr. Bundy is attached to this declaration as Attachment C.

b. By letter dated January 4,2012, Mr. Bundy sent a response to my letter indicating

that he was aware that his livestock were in Lake Mead NRA and stating that he had

removed 165 head of cattle from the west side of Lake Mead and 36 head of cattle

from the Gold Butte area. He also acknowledged that he could have more cattle on

the west side around Overton Beach area and the he would put effort into removing

those cattle. A true and correct copy of the letter that the NPS received from Mr.

Bundy is attached to this declaration as Attachment D.

c. On March 5,20I2,I responded to Mr. Bundy's letter by another letter that informed

Mr. Bundy that he still had trespassing cattle within Lake Mead NRA and that he

should remove all his cattle immediately. Again, I informed Mr' Bundy that his

trespassing cattle were subject to impoundment by the NPS. A true and correct copy

of the March 5,2012letter is attached to this declaration as Attachment E.

12. Unless removed, trespass and stray cattle within Lake Mead NRA will continue to cause

damage to natural and cultural resources within the Park, will continue to present a risk to

the health and safety of visitors and NPS staff, and will continue to require staff time and

resources that could otherwise be used to provide the recreational opportunities that

Congress envisioned when it created Lake Mead NRA.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C . S 1746,I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the UnitedStates that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

Signed ,1rir?/au, ot hr^ ,2012 atBoulder City, Nevada.
