RE: Nice seeing you yesterday

Thanks Tate! Great to see you again. And I fully agree with Judd - it is wonderful to have an Administrator who listens and is engaged in making federal bureaucracy better for those who feed, fuel and clothe the masses. Let me know if there is anything I can do to follow up on any of the number of issues we raised.
Attached is a document I received yesterday after our meeting. Region 7 has been receptive on this topic. We just want to make sure prescribed fire on wildlands is treated as an exceptional event under NAAQS for ozone and PM2.5.
Here is more info on the smoke management plan (SMP) the Administrator was interested in: http://www.ksfire.org/ https://www.nrcs.usda.gOv/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/ks/newsroom/releases//cid---NRCS142P2 033719
If anyone at EPA HQ would like to visit with the state regulators more about Flint Hills prescribed fire I'd be more than happy to make the connection.
Thanks again,

Thanks, Tate, Having an Administrator willing to talk to stakeholders impacted by EPA decisions has been a very refreshing change...
I haven't connected with Ryan yet, but I'm glad to hear you had a productive conversation. Judd
