This series is not about the two fires and subsequent conviction of Dwight and Steven Hammond. It is about the abuse, by government agencies, in the two decades prior to the first fire.
Note: Numbers shown thus, {nn} refer to PDF page numbers in the “Hammond Legal Trailing Part II” PDF file.
Six years prior was the last record in the eighties. The first correspondence in the Nineties, dated February 18, 1994, refers to a letter dated June 1, 1993 {2}, from Forrest W, Cameron, Refuge Manager. However, the records obtained have no copy of the June 1 letter. The February letter suggests that the June letter had responded to a violation of the conditions of a Special Use Permit, and the because of that violation, that no Special Use Permit would be issued for the 1994-95 grazing season.
This letter is to notify you of my intent
to not reissue a Special Use Permit to you for haying and grazing
privileges on Malheur Refuge. This decision will be effective beginning
with the 1994-95 haying and grazing season.
My proposal to make this decision is based upon a pattern of lack of compliance with refuge regulations over several years, and more recently the trespass of several hundred head of your cattle and your total disregard for the integrity of the new boundary fence in the Webb-Knox Spring area of
Malheur Refuge. After a formal warning to you in my letter of June 1,
1993, stating that further violation of any refuge regulations could
jeopardize your refuge permit, you have violated those regulations
again.
