The hikes consist of 4 to 6 miles of walking through some of the most spectacular scenery
on Earth. Along the way, we stop to observe flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds, water,
snow, rocks, minerals, geology, squirrels, clouds, air quality, and even how it makes us
feel. We check the map often, and we talk about respecting the land, the life, and even the
other people and their animals who use the trails. In coordination with the Big Pine Indian
Education Center, lightweight packs, water, snacks, and lunches are supplied. Students
have gained a true appreciation for the outstanding landscape… and they’ve learned that
it’s easier coming down the trail than it is going up!
The Environmental Department would love to continue leading hikes for community
members. Please stay tuned, or contact us with requests.
Our Rising Star
The Environmental Department says, Farewell ‘til we see you again to Jacklyn Velasquez. Jackie
began her tenure as the Environmental Technician as the year 2013 began. She quickly caught
on to the multiple and sometimes complex local, regional, and national issues.
With her work on air and water issues, she gained respect and admiration from the tribal community, agency staff, EPA, and other people with whom she interacted. Among her many accomplishments, she completed an air pollution monitoring needs assessment for the Tribe, contributed significantly to the Owens Lake Cultural Resources Task Force, and learned about and
communicated to us about meteorological data and climate change issues. Her coworkers will
miss her energy, thoughtful contributions, and all around cheerfulness even at those times
when the world, or at least the water, seems to be going in the wrong direction!
Her dream for attending law school continued to motivate her, and after a few months with us,
she applied for law school and was enthusiastically accepted by
Vermont Law School, a school at the forefront of producing
great environmental leaders and attorneys. We and she could
not be more thrilled! Classes begin in about a month, and no
doubt they will be tough. However, we know Jackie has the
intelligence and vision to achieve this next milestone in what’s
certain to be an interesting and rewarding life! Congratulations
Jackie and best wishes from all of us.

MONO LAKE: 20 YEARS AFTER “BEING SAVED”
By: Sally Manning, Environmental Director
Mono Lake is a spectacular place. When a rag tag group of recent college graduates visited the lake in the late 1970s,
they fell in love with the place, then watched in despair as the lake was shrinking. The lake level was dropping due to the
fact that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) was diverting Mono Lake’s tributary streams, sending
the water to LA instead of letting it flow into Mono Lake. With virtually no inflow but constant evaporation, the lake
was dropping dramatically. In fact, in the 30 year period from about 1950 to about 1980, the lake dropped nearly 40 feet!
The group decided to “do something,” so David Gaines founded the nonprofit Mono Lake Committee in 1978, with the
hope of preserving the ecology and aesthetics of the lake in perpetuity.
Publicity for the lake (e.g. bumper stickers), scientific investigations, and lawsuits occuSAVE MONO LAKE pied the next 16 years,
culminating in a significant environmental victory. On September 28, 1994, the California State Water Resources Control Board handed down rules
and goals that would guide future management in the Mono
Lake basin. The Water Board set 6,392 feet as the lake level
goal to achieve and maintain for Mono Lake. At the time, scientists thought it might take 30 years to reach the target.
We are coming up on the 20th anniversary of the state’s decision. What’s happened to the lake level since that time?
Curiously, the lake level is not much higher now than it was in 1994! At the time of the decision, the lake elevation was
about 6,375 feet, so it had 17 feet to make its target. Right after the decision, the region had a run of wet years, so by the
late 1990s, the lake level had risen nearly 10 feet. Things were looking good!
However, the period of the rapid rise halted in 1999, and the lake level has fluctuated between 6,380 and 6,384 for the
past 14 years. Now, it is predicted to fall below 6,380 (to 6,379) by next spring (2015). It needed to rise 17 feet, but it
will have barely risen 5 feet in the first 20 years.
DWP and lake-watchers are quick to blame “drought” as the reason for the slowdown in recovery, but diversions are
also a culprit. Apparently, the state’s decision allowed DWP to divert up to 16,000 acre-feet of water from the basin in
any year when the lake level exceeded 6,380 feet. Not surprisingly, DWP has taken nearly all 16,000 feet each year.
However, if the lake level drops below 6,380, the amount they will be able to divert drops to 4,500 acre-feet per year.
It would take more research to find who came up with the diversion schedule and why. Regardless, I foresee a future
when the lake level hovers at 6,380 feet (12 feet below the target) as DWP diverts 4,500 acre-feet (lake rises) then 16,000
acre-feet (lake drops). Will the ultimate goal – the one designed to be the ecological victory – ever happen?
What’s in that BOTTLED WATER?
Here is an interesting item from the Mono Lake Committee’s Summer 2014 newsletter:
Staff from the Mono Lake Committee toured the West Basin water recycling facility in El Segundo.
West Basin receives then treats sewage water from the DWP service area, and they run the sewage
through “an advanced three-step treatment process before providing it to the Water Replenishment
District (WRD) for underground saltwater intrusion barriers. Bottled water companies also purchase
this water, run it through an extra process of reverse osmosis… and then re-sell it to the public.” Is the
bottled water sold here actually Owens Valley water that’s gone to LA only to be recycled, then returned here in a plastic bottle for a price?

WHY ORGANIC?
By Joseph Miller and Tony Gutierrez
What is organic? Crops grown using organic methods are grown without use of
synthetic commercial fertilizers or pesticides on the plants. Rather grown using
organic compost or natural supplement such as bone meal, blood meal or fish
emulsion and maintained with natural pest management. Organic crops are also
presumably grown with Non-GMO seed.
What are pesticides?
Pesticides are substances meant for attracting, seducing, destroying, or mitigating any pest. They are
a class of biocide. The most common use of pesticides is as plant protection products (also known as
crop protection products), which in general protect plants from damaging influences such as
weeds, plant diseases or insects.
What are genetically modified organisms?
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast, insects, plants, fish, and mammals. Native genes can be mutated deleted permanently turned off or on the inserted gene can become truncated fragmented mixed
with other genes inverted or multiplied.
What are the health risks of consuming veggies treated with herbicides
pesticides?
Laboratory studies show that pesticides can cause health problems, such as birth defects, nerve
damage, cancer, and other effects that might occur over a long period of time. However, these effects
depend on how toxic the pesticide is and how much of it is consumed. There are more than 1055 active ingredients registered as pesticides, which are formulated into thousands of pesticide products
that are available in the marketplace. Most of the foods we eat have been grown with the use of pesticides. Therefore, pesticide residues may be present inside or on the surfaces of these foods.
What are the health risks of consuming GMO crops?
GMO’s have been linked to thousands of toxic and allergenic reactions, thousands of sick, sterile,
and dead livestock, and damage to virtually every organ and system studied in lab animals. GM
plants, such as soybean, corn, cottonseed, and canola have had foreign genes forced into their DNA.
And the inserted genes come from species, such as bacteria and viruses that have never been in the
human food supply. Did you know... since 1996 Americans have been eating genetically modified
(GM) ingredients in most processed foods?
Every year non organic and GMO crops are subsidized with tax dollars to bring
them to the market at a more affordable cost. So next time you’re in the produce
aisle or are planning to start a home garden, ponder the choices you’re going to
make from a health standpoint as opposed to affordability.

News from the Tribal Historic Preservation Office
by Bill Helmer, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer
Cultural Resources Task Force for the Owens Lake Dust Mitigation Program
Representatives on the Cultural Resources Task Force for the Owens Lake Dust Mitigation Program from the Big Pine
Paiute Tribe, Lone Pine Paiute-Shoshone Reservation, and the Fort Independence Indian Reservation wrote a draft
Tribes’ Recommendation On Best Way To Balance Cultural Resource Protection And Dust Control For Four
Phase 7.B. Sites at Owens Lake. This recommendation is being sent to the Big Pine Tribal Council and the other involved Tribal Councils for their review and approval, and then a final version will be sent to the other members of the
Cultural Resources Task Force (CRTF), Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District, State Lands Commission, State Historic Preservation Office, and the Native American Heritage
Commission. CRTF representatives from Big Pine are Danelle Gutierrez, Theresa Stone, and Bill Helmer. A portion
of this draft recommendation is the following:
The cultural sites under discussion hold critically important traces of our original way of life. What needs protecting is the life and the story embodied in the entire lake bed, not just these four sites -- special as they are.
For that reason, we ask for the immediate initiation of a traditional cultural landscape assessment and protection of Pasiata on the National Register of Historic Places. The need for this action is urgent because each day,
the landscape centered on Pasiata becomes more fragmented and industrialized, and thus cultural resources are
destroyed.
The tribal voice in the management of Pasiata must be amplified, acknowledged and adhered to. On far too
many occasions, our cultural resource monitors have pointed out a cultural resource in need of protection –
repeatedly, and to multiple workers on the lake bed -- and still had to witness the item demolished. Our tribal
monitors and representatives must have access to a decision-maker able and willing to divert all area heavy
equipment and protect cultural resources immediately upon notification. Existing cultural resource protection
protocols must be followed. We feel that the importance and uniqueness of the cultural landscape has been
long over-looked, and should be elevated in priority compared to past practices. This landscape is an irreplaceable part of tribal culture and traditions, and as such, an irreplaceable part of American history. It must be protected.
CALTRANS—Olancha-Cartago Four Lane Expansion Project Programmatic Agreement
Tribal input from the Big Pine Paiute Tribe, Lone Pine Paiute-Shoshone Reservation, the Fort Independence Indian
Reservation, Bishop Paiute Tribe, and Timbisha Shoshone Tribe ensured that the Historic Resources Treatment Plan
for the Olancha-Cartago Four Lane Expansion Project included language which required ethnographic landscape studies in addition to archaeological studies:
b) Development of an Identification Plan that finalizes identification and documentation of historic properties
within the Undertaking's APE, including properties that may be eligible to the NRHP under Criteria A, B, C,
and D. These properties could include archaeological sites, traditional cultural properties 'or traditional cultural
landscapes that meet one or more of the criteria for eligibility, or components of a larger Native American traditional cultural landscape.
e) Design of an ethnographic study in cooperation with Tribes to identify, evaluate and
assess effects to places and resources, including but not limited to traditional plant or
material gathering areas.
Town of Mammoth Lakes Plans To Pave Bike Route Near Snowcreek VIII
The Town of Mammoth Lakes in cooperation with CALTRANS is consulting with the Big Pine Tribe and other regional tribes regarding its intent to pave a dirt bike and hiking path near the Snowcreek VIII condominiums. This is a
culturally significant area which needs the highest level of protection.
University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Plans to Take Rock Samples in the Owens Valley and Sierra Nevada
On July 9, 2014, Bill Helmer and Ross Stone accompanied Jacqueline Beidl, Inyo National Forest archaeologist, to
various sites between Independence and Aberdeen which were proposed for rock sample sites by geologists from the
University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. We were assessing each site for the presence of cultural resources; no cultural
resources were found at any of the sites, and all locations would not be in view of trails or roads.

Another month gone and the weather has been very dry. Please use your water wisely and do not waste,
remember we are still in a drought.
We have a serious problem in our community. Underage drinking is a serious problem, not only is it illegal
but it poses a health and safety risk. As a community we need to teach our youth to be responsible and, as a
responsible adult please realize that the legal age to buy alcohol is 21 and if you are buying and contributing to
a minor you can be arrested. Please help to teach the youth not to drink and most importantly “DO NOT
CONTRIBUTE TO A MINOR! A reminder, if you are a renter you are violating your Renter’s Agreement by
engaging.
Also a reminder if you bring any type of structure onto your assignment it needs to be approved by the
Tribal Council 30 days prior to bringing onto the reservation per the Land Assignment Ordinance. Contact the
Tribal Office and you can be placed on the agenda. Please allow at least 10 days before the Tribal Council
meeting so we can have the information ready.
The Dog Ordinance is in effect, and is available for pickup at the office. Be responsible and have your
dog(s) licensed with their rabies shots. Please contain your dogs to your yard.
The Tribe’s Public Safety Officer is authorized to give out citations, which can be costly due to a
complaint. Don’t let your dog be on the complaint list, be responsible for your pet and keep them safe as well
as the public.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or stop by the office.
Have a great month,
Rhonda Willis,
Tribal Administrator
