Good morning Sydney, As we are getting close to August, wanted to check the Administrator's schedule. Also, the following is an email from my counterpart in Tennessee. Can you make sure the Administrator sees it?
Thanks
PS - this is from Susan Ritter, the EO for the Tennessee Home Builders Association -
1have to tell you what happened yesterday.
We have appealed Tennessees adoption of our new post construction stormwater permit. Last year we successfully passed legislation that does not allow our state to pass stormwater regulations that are more stringent than that of the EPAs. We believe this permit is more stringent in a number of areas.
So during this appeal process, there are depositions. Coincidently, the Enviros have appealed saying just the opposite, that Tennessees new permit is less stringent than our previous permit and therefore guilty of backsliding. Right. So during depositions yesterday, the executive director for the clean water network proceeded to openly bust on Trump for his selection of Pruitt as head of the EPA. We were all quite speechless. She also spent a good amount of time busting on developers who do not care one bit about clean water, while waving her hand in my direction every time. It was quite amazing and amusing. Almost made it somewhat tolerable after having spent 8 hours deposing j ust two witnesses.
Thought you would enjoy. Can't wait for Scott Pruitt to get in full swing. Would love for him to be aware of what we are appealing in Tennessee because it will have national repercussions. And
;ave us legal action money to help with this battle.
Another day another battle.
Thanks again,
Mike

Good morning Sydney! We are holding a Summit planning meeting today and my chairman asked me for an update. I told I didn't expect an answer just yet, but I told him I would double-check anyway.
Thanks.

I certainly understand Sydney. No worries. Is there a date where we can finally say go or no go? As far as I am concerned it can be near the first of August. We will need time to print the program (and find a substitute if need

For now, I am going to promote it as just invited.

Hey Mike,
Thank you for checking in! I just don't think we will know for a while. We haven't even made it through August travel yet. I know it is something he would like the opportunity to do, I just can't say for certain yet how September will play out. We haven't confirmed anything yet as we are still looking at international travel. I'm
truly am sorry for the delay.

Hey Mike,
Hope you're well! We still haven't nailed down September travel due to pending international travel. Hoping to be able to get a little closer to sorting
that out at the end of this week.
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for reaching out! Would you be so kind as to fill out the attached speaker request form for me and return at your
convenience? Admittedly, we may not discuss September travel for a few weeks so if you need a little time to complete, that is completely
fine. Love seeing Oklahoma requests in my inbox!
Thank you!

Dear Ms. Hupp,
I know an invitation or two is floating around the offices there at EPA, but I was recently given your email as you are the
scheduler for Administrator Pruitt. We want to formally invite Mr. Pruitt to be our opening keynote to our annual OK Building
Summit & Expo on September 27, 2017, 10:00 am, at the Cox Convention Center. As builders and developers we heavily
endorsed and applauded his appointment as Administrator of the EPA.
Our annual Summit has grown each year and last year we had
17cv01906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED 001523B 00005880-00005
over 650 in attendance. We would love to welcome Mr. Pruitt back to Oklahoma in his new roie.
Thank you for consideration and please let me know if I can provide any additional details. Mike
