P. A description of any unusual events in the past year (trespassers, illegal hunting, <br />problems with grazing, major flood events, etc.). <br />REPORT: On an adjacent piece of leased property, during the dismantling of the <br />Owens Brothers batch plant, a napalm trigger containing white <br />phosphorous was uncovered by another party (not Schmidt or associated <br />with Schmidt). Unfortunately, it exploded and injured one person. Schmidt <br />attended the Land Board hearing on the issue and listened to the testimony. <br />Schmidt did not offer any comments. It is Schmidt's beliaf that proper <br />training of personnel working at the site and a detection program along <br />with proper action if something is uncovered is the best approach to <br />minimizing the problems. This event also stresses the importance of <br />keeping this land highly restricted from use by the general public as well <br />as limiting any development of the land for more domestic uses until it can <br />be assured that a vast majority of the ordnance has been removed. Until <br />that occurs, it is Schmidt's position that uses should be limited to grazing <br />(using a high quality range management plan rather than the almost open <br />range plan currently used), mining, oil and gas productio~i, and wildlife <br />habitat. Use by the general public should be strictly controlled and allowed <br />only when the public is accompanied by a guide who is knowledgeable <br />about where to go and where not to go. <br />Q. Photodocumentation, if any. Photodocumentation not included as paper prints in this <br />report maybe provided on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, For digital photos, insure that EXIF <br />data is included, unless images were merged to create panoramas in which case the <br />original images used in creating the panorama should also be provided.:For each disk (or <br />each directory on the disk, a contact sheet showing thumbnail images and the file name) a <br />PDF contact sheet should be included. All digital files must be in low compression JPEG <br />or uncompressed EXIF-TIFF format. If digital media is provided, include two copies of <br />the disks. <br />REPORT: Prints of a few of the more significant images are included at the end of <br />this report. On the included CD, many more photographs taken in the last <br />year are included. These are included into descriptively named directories. <br />File names sometimes provide a quick indication of the subject matter, but <br />usually the file name is the one assigned by the camera when the image <br />was taken. A few images have labels included where significant features <br />are pointed out. It is highly recommended that the "contact sheets," <br />which are in PDF format, be examined before launching into opening the <br />photo files. Each directory contains its own contact sheet file. The images <br />in the contact sheets are produced at 150 dpi, so if the entire page is <br />printed out the "thumbnail" versions of the actual image will be of <br />sufficient quality to determine whether the viewer wants to open that file <br />or not. On the other hand, zooming in to an image in Acrobat and noting <br />the file name of an image to be opened eliminates the need to print out the <br />contact sheets. Below each thumbnail image is the file name, although it <br />may sometimes be truncated. All images were taken witY~ digital cameras <br />ranging from 3.2 megapixel to 8 megapixel resolution. Each image, if <br />Annual Status Report - 2005 for State Land Board July 15, 2005 Page 9 of 10 <br />
