Georgia Munsell says the LITTER LIFTERS along the Loop Road are as follows: Roger Moe continues to offer to sound the water level of your well. The whole process takes about 20 minutes; he needs two people to assist him with the procedure. To make an appointment call him at 204-1461 or e-mail him at moestlywood@sedona.net. Over the past few months he has worked with five well owners. At the last RRRCA meeting people were interested in testing their water for coliform bacteria. The nearest lab to obtain a water kit is Bradshaw Lab in Cottonwood at 203 South Candy Lane, Suite 115 B-2, near the Cottonwood Hospital and Baptist Church. You must go to their office to pick up the free kit and instructions then bring it back to them. The actual testing costs $20. Other testing costs more depending on what you are assaying. For example, Arsenic can be done at home via a kit that costs another $20.
A Brief History of The RED ROCK RURAL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, LLC (RRRCA) Located along the state-protected Oak Creek, a designated "Unique and Scenic Waterway," the area contains shallow-perched drinking water aquifers that can easily be contaminated through the fragile geological strata that exist here. For this reason the RRRCA took steps in 2006 to engage independent environmental consultants, engineers, professors, researchers and legal counsel to help the residents of the Red Rock Loop area and Sedona understand the impact of real estate developments in our vulnerable environment. The RRRCA has forged alliances with numerous local community groups and environmental groups such as the Sierra Club, Don't Waste Arizona, Inc., the Audubon Society and the Center for Biodiversity. This journey has taken us through a bureaucratic quagmire of local, state and federal jurisdictions. In the process we have created working relationships with the AZ Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), Army Corps of Engineers, AZ Department of Water Resources (ADWR), Northern Arizona University and Yavapai County. RRRCA's actions have taken energy, time and money: costs shouldered by a few members of the RRRCA. To help cover some of the financial costs make a tax-deductible donation to Don't Waste Arizona, Inc., an Arizona nonprofit IRS § 501(c)(3) corporation and mark it c/o RRRCA Environmental Fund. Send your donation to RRRCA, PO Box 3086, Sedona, AZ 86340..
