Did you make it out for a peek? Now that we're past the height of it, I'm digging in on a story about WOTUS outreach and have a few questions for you. I'm at my desk for a little bit longer and then on my cell if you want to discuss. I am shooting to wrap up reporting at about noon tomorrow, but if it looks like you might be able to get me more detail on some of these requests with additional time, let's talk about it. Here's what I'm wondering: 1 -Can you provide a list of all the groups that EPA has met with on the WOTUS rewrite? I know that Pruitt's State Action tour has had a heavy focus on WOTUS, but I'm also interested in meetings in DC and ones that may have happened at the staff level. I know this is something the Obama admin kept track of (there are a number of meetings listed in the docket for the 2014 proposed rule). 2 - A sub-question to that one: has EPA met with any environmental groups or other entities that were supportive of the Obama rule on the topic? If so, please provide the name of the group, representative, and date of the meeting. 3 - I saw the National Cattlemen's Beef Association video that included an interview with Pruitt: How did that interview come about? le, did NCBA request the interview? And did EPA know that the association would be directing viewers to pre-written NCBA comments to submit? 4 - Was this interview cleared through EPA's ethics office? 5 - Writ large, can you provide comment on how EPA under Pruitt is approaching outreach on the WOTUS rewrite? How do you decide who gets meetings on the topic and who are you actively reaching out to? Thanks!
