	Senator Pete V. Domenici - Press Releases
		WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Pete Domenici today revitalized legislation to acquire the remaining mineral rights at the Valles Caldera National Preserve and Trust, giving a fresh start to the effort to further protect the area.
		One of these is the Valles Caldera legislation that heals some long-standing wounds revolving around mineral rights ownership on the Preserve.
		Among other things, the bill also clarifies the Valles Caldera National Preservation & Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act of 1999 (S.1892) in terms of employment classifications, and resource management and funding authority.

		A final and perhaps most important difference between Valles Caldera National Preserve and other public lands is the way decisions are made.
		As home to one of the largest elk herds in the lower-48, Valles Caldera has instituted a policy of distributing most of its elk hunting permits via a national lottery system, and a handful by auction.
		Valles Caldera has also used its unique level of control as a creative means of fundraising.

		Marty Peale, executive director of the Valles Caldera Coalition told the board there were local and national concerns watching their activities closely and she was getting close to drawing a line in the sand against listening to many more excuses as to why public input isn't happening on new issues.
		The plan also says the need to locate and preserve archaeological sites in the Valles Caldera will limit visits without guides.
		This issue was raised Friday afternoon at the Valles Caldera board of trustees meeting at the Marriot in Albuquerque.

	Valle Grande - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valle Grande (Va-lye Gra-n-de), known to geologists as the Valles Caldera and the Jemez Caldera, is a pristine area in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico in the United States.
		The circular topographic expression of the Valles caldera measures 22 kilometers (14 miles) in diameter.
		The lower Bandelier tuff which can be seen along canyon walls west of the Valles Caldera, including San Diego Canyon, is related to the eruption and collapse of the Toledo Caldera.

	07/27/00 -- New Mexico Ranch Transformed into National Preserve
		At the heart of the Jemez Mountain region west of Santa Fe, the new Valles Caldera National Preserve contains a unique mix of grasslands, forested mountains and geologic features found nowhere else in the American Southwest.
		BACA RANCH, New Mexico - Almost 90,000 acres in northern New Mexico, rich with elk, bear, trout streams and peregrine falcons, has been set aside as the new Valles Caldera National Preserve.
		The new preserve also encompasses most of the Valles Caldera, a massive crater more than a half-mile deep and 15 miles wide that was created by a huge volcanic eruption more than a million years ago.

	High Country News -- December 22, 2003: National preserve is in hot water
		Gary Ziehe, executive director of the Valles Caldera Trust, which manages the preserve, says that unlike logging and ranching, energy development was not part of the federal government’s vision for the property.
		He explains that the lab is only interested in electricity from the Valles Caldera plant as a way to comply with a federal directive for federal facilities to increase their use of renewable energy.
		Some say proposal to build a geothermal power plant in the Valles Caldera is a ploy to extort money from the Forest Service

	February 7, 2003
		The State Game Commission’s regulations governing the allocation of elk hunting licenses on the Preserve for the 2002-2003 season provide that 100 percent of bull elk licenses will be issued to persons who have obtained access to the Preserve for elk hunting in a lottery for that purpose held by the Valles Caldera Trust.
		The Preserve is managed by the Valles Caldera Trust (“Trust”), which is governed by a nine member Board of Trustees (“Board”).
		As applied to the issuance of licenses for bull elk hunting in the Preserve, the regulations are inconsistent with state law, which specifies how licenses issued through a special drawing must be allocated among state residents and non-residents.

	Geotimes — March 2004 — The Global Lakes Drilling Effort
		Valles caldera also contains little known lacustrine sediments and hydromagmatic deposits dating from the inception of caldera formation to roughly 50, 000 years ago.
		Although nearly forgotten, this investigation suggests that the caldera sediments may contain a significant climate record and indicates that the Valles record correlates with a climate record as far away as Mexico City.
		Presumably, many of these deposits lie buried within the caldera moat, and are overlain and interbedded with post-caldera moat rhyolite eruptions.

	ALC: About Us
		Commonly known as Baca Ranch, the Valles Caldera National Preserve is an 89,000-acre cattle and timber ranch consisting of an ancient caldera - a large crater formed by volcanic explosion.
		The agency managing the Preserve, the Valles Caldera Trust, is unable to stop the development as New Mexico law allows a minority mineral rights owner and lessee to develop a mineral right without the consent of the majority holder.
		The Preserve features wide mountain grasslands, peaks of over 11,000 feet, 27 miles of streams and the headwaters of the wild and scenic Jemez River, and habitat for the largest herd of Rocky Mountain Elk in New Mexico.

		Board turnover also concerns the Valles Caldera Coalition, a group of mostly environmental organizations that has lobbied for support for the preserve and continues to participate in management discussions with the board.
		Chairman deBuys says the preserve is "ecologically in very good health," and he downplays the portion of the law that requires the preserve to be financially self-sufficient by 2017.
		Instead, the preserve will be controlled by a president-appointed board of nine trustees, including chairman deBuys, whose collective expertise spans livestock management, sustainable forestry, financial management, cultural and natural history, and other disciplines.

	Fly-fishing The Valles Caldera
		It's hard to beat the Valles Caldera National Preserve for serene fishing and high-mountain solitude, where luck of the draw tempers the fishing at New Mexico's newest brown trout venue.
		Because the first priority of the Valles Caldera National Preserve is to preserve its resources and climate for serenity, officials limit the number of people they admit each day.
		Valles Caldera, a working cattle ranch just west of Los Alamos, went from private hands to public lands in 2000 when the government purchased the 89,000-acre ranch for $101 million.

	Fat Tire Festival Offers First-Ever Rides on Valles Caldera National Preserve
		Preserve staff will allow up to three hours for the 10-mile Loop A and six to eight hours for riders to complete Loops B and C. Riders must stay on designated routes and not go off-road, either on foot or by bike.
		The Preserve has the second largest elk herd in New Mexico, no paved roads, few utility poles, and very few buildings across its 89,000 acres of grasslands and mountains, so youd be wise to expect to take extra time for photographing and viewing the incredible scenery and wildlife.
		These first-ever bike rides on Preserve land are intended for recreational riding as a way to experience the exceptional scenery and wildlife of the Preserve.

	Update on the Federal Acquisition of the Valles Caldera
		Near the center of the range lies Valles Caldera, a resurgent caldera or enormous depression created by a massive volcanic eruption millions or years ago, that measurers more than a half-mile deep and close to 15 miles across.
		But the Valles Caldera is primarily within a privately held ranch known as the Baca -- or more officially the Baca Location No. 1.
		An accompanying White House press release states: "Under an innovative arrangement, the new preserve will be managed in a way that allows for sustainable resource use while ensuring public access and full protection of the ranch's extraordinary natural assets.
