U of A Letter to Rural Well Users Cochise County Extensions, U of A, is asking for your help. “As you know, there are more than 10,000 domestic wells like yours in Cochise County, but nobody really knows how much water they pump. Accurate pumpage infor-mation, including individual wells, is vital to understanding water resource conditions and planning for the future.”
The January 22 letter to County Well Owners continues, “Researchers from the U of A are conducting a study of individual domestic well water use in Cochise County. The success of the study depends on well owners like you to participate.
Participation is voluntary and steps have been taken to ensure that all re-sults are completely confidential. A representative sample of 250 wells will be selected for the study. If you agree to participate and your well is selected for the study, the University of Arizona will arrange for installation of a water meter onto the pipe from your well’s pressure tank, and a data logger that will electronically send the meter read-ing to the U of A. This means that after the initial installation, no one will come to your property unless the device fails, at which time someone will make arrangements to remove or replace the water meter.
To recognize your contribution to im-proving the understanding of our county domestic water well use, all par-ticipants will also have the opportunity to have an electronic tipping bucket rain gauge installed on their property.
Your individual water usage will remain strictly confidential. It will not be re-leased to Cochise County, the Arizona Department of Water Resources, or any other government agency or organization, or persons outside the data collection team.
Information collected from each well will be combined with those of other well owners who take part in this and ana-lyzed as a data set. The focus of the study is to develop statistics about totals, averages, and ranges of well pumping, not information that can be traced back to any well, individual, or specific property locations. In other words, the informa-tion we obtain from your well will not be released. The study will begin in Decem-ber and will last for 18 to 24 month. Study information and general results will be posted at:
www.sahra.arizona.edu/cochisewells/.”
In order to select a representative sample of wells in Cochise County, participants are asked to complete a nine-question form. For more information about the study, please call Susan Pater, Cochise County Extension Director at 520-766-3601, or Gary Woodard at 520-626-5399 or send an email to Susan at [email protected].
Current land use decisions are based upon the following:
A family of 2.5 people on four acres uses 312 gallons per person per day -
or approximately 800 gallons per day per house.
2) Due to industrial appearance, mini-warehouses should be a special permit use in residential areas.
3) Reconsider golf course design standard that allows up to 5 acres of irrigated acres per golf hole.
4) Re-work suggested P & Z revi-sion to the Basic Requirements for Off-Street Parking so that whenever the use of an existing building is changed, only the newly required number of spaces and surface must be brought up to current standards - the grand-fathered clause should remain.
All suggestions will be considered; however P & Z Staff will make the final decision as to what is presented to the Board of Supervisors for final discussion. Judy Anderson, Director of P & Z, believes the revisions will be ready for a mid-March Public Hearing before the Board of Supervi-sors. Find the Regs. on the P & Z website.
Interested County residents met with Planning and Zoning Staff on Feb. 9th to continue discussing regulation revisions.
Some areas were quickly iden-tified as being beyond the scope of work for this commit-tee; therefore necessitating fu-ture meetings to specifically address possible topics such as planned development districts, outdoor storage limitations, and open range issues.
This second round of conversa-tions included the following suggestions:
1) Delete suggested P & Z revision that does not allow any billboards. Revert to previous special permit option in Light Industry, Heavy Industry, and Gen-eral Business Zoning Ar-eas.
REVISING PLANNING & ZONING REGS - Part 2
On Wed. Feb. 13th, the P & Z Com-mission took the first step in provid-ing Cochise County with a tool to consider water availability in land use decisions.
Commission members voted unani-mously to forward a resolution to amend the county subdivision regu-lations so that new development would be required to show a proven water supply that is continuously, legally and physically available for 100 years.
The Board of Supervisors will hear the Commissioners’ recommendation at a Public Hearing scheduled for March 18th. Senate Bill 1575 states that the BOS must have a unanimous vote to pass this resolution.
Once the County adopts the water adequacy standard, the County be-comes eligible for funding for water projects made possible by House Bill 2692.

P & Z COMMISSION
NEWS BRIEFS CDO Waiting for Memo: The J-6/Mescal CDO Board met with Assistant Director of the Ari-zona Department of Water Re-sources to discuss documents from ADWR related to water impacts to wells within our area.
The November and December Tri-Community Newsletters provided extensive detail regarding this is-sue. The ADWR documents can be viewed in their entirety at:
CDOnewsletter.com.
The CDO Board requested that ADWR provide clarification to the statement that “ADWR stands be-hind the data mentioned in the
Kurtz Memo and Hydrologic Re-view.”
A phone call on the 19th revealed that the ADWR response letter will now be released from Direc-tor Herb Guenther. No target deadline was given.
Neighbors Questioning the Opening of a Commercial Roping Arena in Mescal: Neighbors in the Tequila Trail area are questioning the develop-ment of a roping arena which may be opening for events as early as March lst and 2nd.
A Cochise P & Z Inspector will notify Tommy Anderson, owner,
that a special permit will be re-quired. The roping areas is lo-cated east of Tequila Trail and approximately 1/4 mile north of the Freeway.
Pruning Workshop: By special request, the Commu-nity Watershed Alliance is sched-uling their second Tree Pruning Workshop in the J-6/ Mescal area.
Participants will learn strategies from a certified arborist, Carmen Miller, and will have the opportu-nity to practice with supervision!

ACCESS TO FOREST DELETED IN NEW LAS CIENEGAS BILL
On Jan. 29, 2008, Congressman Grijalva introduced H.R.5177 . This Bill has NO provision for a right-of-way through the non-Federal land for motorized public road access to the boundary of the Coronado National Forest on the west side of the Whetstones. Also, Rep. Raul Grijalva does not want to move forward with the federal land-swap legislation that would pre-serve land owned currently by Diamond Ventures in the Cienega Corridor unless Tumamoc Hill is also preserved.
Since Grijalva is the Chair of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, his version may end up be-ing the House version instead of the Congressional Bill from Gifford’s with the access provision.

Only one individual is challenging incum-bent Board of Supervisor Richard Searle at this date. According to the Cochise County Website, Sharon Thomas has tossed her hat into the race in District III. Sharon is a registered Democrat.
Sharon is a sixth-generation St. David resident and has lived in the San Pedro Valley for twenty years. She is the de-scendant of original settlers who came to Cochise County to make their home.
Sharon holds a Bachelors degree in Edu-cation and has taught at the middle school, high school, and college levels.
Sharon is actively concerned with com-munity issues and was a founding mem-ber of St. Davids Residents for Rural Life, the organization which

NO SIGNS ON POWER POLES!
Power Poles are not the place to post your favorite candidate’s poster, your lost dog notice, or even your weekend yard sale.
“Nails, staples and tacks used to post them can pose a real hazard for line-men.” These fasteners can snag and tear protective materials used for “hot” (energized) line work.
Punctured rubber gloves are useless for high-voltage protection. When linemen are climbing poles, their hooks can hit a nail head or staple and “cut out” (let loose of the pole), causing falls that can seriously in-jure them. (SSVEC Currents Septem-ber 2006)
Although the following video clip was made in 1999, taking 30 sec-onds to view this important mes-sage could save your life.
KitchenOilFire.wmv
This dramatic video deals with a common kitchen fire - oil in a fry-ing plan and what NOT to use to put out a grease fire.
Water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it in-stantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of steam blows the burning oil up and out. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.
Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.
What to do if grease fire starts:
1) Turn off stove.
2) Smother it with a lid or wrung-out wet cloth.
3) Don’t move pan. ….from eldoradofirerescue.org
I-10 BY-PASS UPDATES The Cascabel Working Group has up-dated their website to include a series of one page press releases to show that the San Pedro Valley ByPass Alternative:
Will not provide significant traffic relief
Has abysmal price tag
Will damage general ecology and animals and plants
The series of brief articles also chal-lenges the population growth forecasts, addresses land development and other conditions.
“In late 2006, a Phoenix/Tucson I-10 bypass was proposed by Si Schorr who represents Pima County on the State Transportation Board. The proposed by-pass would allow trucks and other traffic to avoid the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas. Schorr proposed that the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) study the feasibility of a bypass that would connect to I-10 near Willcox and run north of Tucson, connecting to I-10 west of Phoenix.”
The San Pedro Valley Alternative is one of four routes in the feasibility study presented to the State Board of Transportation.
Highlights from new press releases include:
1) ByPass routes around Tucson will help relieve congestion in Tucson with less than a 5% traffic reduc-tion.
2) Although current I-10 Phoenix traffic exceeds 300,000 vehicles per day, the Bypass would relieve I-10 by only 44,100 VPD in 2030.
3) Although it is felt that the budget for the Bypass Alternatives is overly optimistic, the cost would equate to $1,500 for every man, woman, and child in Arizona.
The CWG is continuing to attend meet-ings across the state and to monitor the ADOT website for the latest develop-ments. Their website is

The firefighters of the Mescal Volunteer Fire Department wish to thank Mark and Marcia Lee of J-Six for their tremendous support. Mark, who runs the Rocking R Mercantile in Benson, recently custom-designed and constructed a steel hose rack for storing the new fire hose we purchased through a FEMA grant. This generous do-nation of time and materials saved Mescal Fire more than $2000 and will extend the life of our new hose by years. Last year Mark and Marcia donated a new 300 gal-lon water tank for our wildland brush truck.
