Judge supports ADEQ decision after thorough review of Rosemont Copper groundwater permit

by on Jun. 17, 2013, under Press Releases

TUCSON, AZ (June 15, 2013) — Judge Thomas Shedden (http://www.azoah.com/Shedden.html) with the Arizona Office of Administrative Hearings ruled Friday in favor of Rosemont Copper after nine days of hearings held in 2012. The hearing was to consider an appeal of Rosemont’s Aquifer Protection Permit issued by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ).

“We are gratified the judge made a thoughtful and detailed decision regarding the appeal and upholding ADEQ’s permit,” said Kathy Arnold, Vice President of Environmental and Regulatory Affairs. “During the hearing, the appellants were given every opportunity to back up their assertions with evidence, but failed to do so. Now, in their statement, the appellants appear to have totally ignored the evidence and the extremely detailed findings by Judge Shedden. The bottom line is that Rosemont’s permit is amply supported by scientific studies and data, and meets all legal requirements.”

Judge Shedden’s decision (https://portal.azoah.com/aljdec/documents/WQB/12-002-WQAB-ALJDecision-0001.pdf) contained 506 findings of fact and 33 conclusions of law. According to the ruling, the judge rejected all of the issues appellants raised due to their failure to provide credible evidence supporting their assertions. Instead, the record showed ADEQ conducted a thorough review of Rosemont’s application and supporting studies and data, the Judge concluded.

“At every step of the permitting process, opposition groups have appealed rulings and filed lawsuits,” said Jamie Sturgess, Augusta Resource Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Government Affairs. “To date, none have been successful because the federal and state agencies are conducting thorough and detailed analyses through transparent and open public processes.”

Rosemont anticipates a positive hearing with the Water Quality Appeals Board affirming the ruling within the next 30 days. Sturgess added that the company’s development plan and permitting processes continue to be thorough, compliant with laws and highly defensible.

“We look forward to moving past the permitting phase and starting construction on this 21st Century project that will bring thousand of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue to southern Arizona, while using the latest technology to minimize impacts to the environment,” said Rod Pace, Rosemont Copper President & CEO. “Rosemont has received all but one of its permits required for operation and expects to receive final approvals and permit decisions by the third quarter of 2013. When in operation, Rosemont will bring more than $700 million annually in economic impact to southern Arizona and support 2,100 direct and indirect jobs in the region.”

ABOUT ROSEMONT COPPER COMPANY
The Rosemont Copper project is located in Pima County, approximately 30 miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona, and contains a world-class open-pit copper/molybdenum/silver deposit. Located in an existing mining district, Rosemont Copper will set a high standard for sustainable mining practices, including using solar power, consuming less than half the water as traditional mines, and reclaiming the site from the start of operations as permanent open space. Arizona, the copper state, produces 65 percent of the United States’ supply of copper on only a quarter of one percent of the state’s land. Rosemont Copper is expected to provide more than 10 percent of the U.S. copper supply while requiring less than half the land area of other Pima County mines. A recent study by Arizona State University showed the region would benefit over the life of the mine, adding 406 direct and 1700 indirect jobs, $3 billion in increased personal income, $404 million in local taxes and $15 billion in local economic revenue.

The popular summer camps help students develop and refine skills including passing, setting, hitting and serving, then incorporating those skills into game situations.

One goal is to introduce the sport to lower school youngsters and build their interest and skill set, said Angela Vande Mheen, who’s coached this program since its founding four summers ago. She’s one of four coaches for the camp.

The camps run Monday through Friday and are offered three times this summer – June 24 through 28, July 15 through19 and July 22 through 26.

Participants should wear comfortable sports attire like shorts and a T-shirt, proper court or gym shoes, and bring a water bottle and light snack.

Returning coaches are:

He played competitive volleyball for 10 years. He’s taught both middle and high school club levels and coached boys and girls teams. He’s coached the summer volleyball camps all four years.

- Vande Mheen, head coach at Green Fields County Day School. She started in 1997 as the junior varsity and assistant varsity coach. Green Fields has played in the state tournament 12 times in the last 13 years – and twice in the championship game. She’s also coached at Canyon Del Oro and Amphitheater High schools. In 2011 she was named AIA Coach of the Year in 2011.

New coaches this year include:

- Noah Gustafson, now in his second year at St. Gregory College Preparatory School. He also serves as an assistant coach for Amphitheater High School’s boys varsity volleyball team. He’s a Green Fields graduate coached by Vande Mheen. He was volleyball manager his junior and senior years.

- Shannon Huetter, new head coach at Desert Christian High School, formerly with Tucson Country Day School, and Russ Sullivan, head coach at the school for the past two seasons. He was named AIA Coach of the year in 2012.

Monsoons & Your Dog- How to Help You Dog Stay Safe & Sound This During Our Monsoon

by on Jun. 17, 2013, under Press Releases

Is Your Dog Ready For Our Tucson Monsoons

In Tucson, Arizona monsoons officially begin on June 15 and lasts until September 30. Our weather can bring high winds, dust storms, and downpours resulting in flash floods. All the smells, lightning and thunder that come in the afternoon and evening storms can be disturbing to many of our family dogs.

Monsoons are a common fear in our Tucson dogs; our furry friends can sense a storm long before us by the quickly falling barometric pressure. Many dogs may show stress and anxiety before you can even hear the storm. As you well know, some of our dogs will try to run away or may become destructive when locked in a room or in the home, potentially hurting themselves. Some dog have even been known to show signs of aggression when they become fearful at this level. If you know your dog reacts in this manner, It’s your job to help him/her get through this safely and educate them to look to us for guidance.

The good news is our dogs can be taught/trained to react properly to our monsoons – or any type of loud storm like noise . While it’s not always easy to accomplish, we can find the proper ingredients needed to help your specific dog be calm and less reactive. What works for one dog may not work for the next. Finding your dogs sweet spot is your challenge. Seeking out the proper help is the key.

To help your dog(s) learn to be calmer & safe during the monsoon season, as well as during fireworks or other instances of loud noises, try the following tips.

(From Tucson Dog Trainer Gerard Raneri of Bark Busters Home Dog Training Tucson)

  1. Always have current Identification Tags on your dog’s collar just in case he gets away from you. Talk to your vet about microchipping, a permanent form of identification, and make sure to update any contact information changes. Also During storms, keep him away from any doors that lead outside.
  2. Provide a safe haven for your dog to go during monsoon weather and any other stressful times. Help your dog create a quiet, den-like place inside your home where your dog can feel safe, such as a kennel or crate. Maybe a laundry room with no windows or covered windows can be utilized. Always have plenty of drinking water available. Please, Remember it’s okay to us a crate!So often I hear people say that a crate is mean or I feel sad when I see my dog in a crate. When properly introduced, dogs usually feel safe in their crates and actually want to be in their crate. Most dogs like to be in a cave- like environment. By using a crate it will ensure your dog’s safety and protect your belongings. If you don’t use a crate or your dog isn’t crate trained yet, be sure to put any valuable items or things that could hurt your dog if he chewed them out of his reach. Puppy proof your house again. A stressed dog can have odd behavior.
  3. During the storms, keep your windows and curtains closed. This will help reduce noise and flashing lights. Try to distract your dog with a TV or radio playing calming music at a slightly above normal volume.
  4. Remain calm and act in a matter-of-fact manner. Your dog can tell if you are afraid or uncomfortable during monsoon storms and will feed off of your emotion. Try to distract your dog with normal activities, like play or brushing. Offer your dog a bully stick or his best bone. Do not use a sympathetic voice to reassure him; this can sound like praise and may make him more confused and nervous. Just be yourself in matter-of Fact manner.
  5. In severe cases be prepared for your dog to become incontinent due to adrenaline and his extreme fear during a monsoon. This is not the time to correct. This is not an act of misbehavior, its fear. The bast way to deal with this is to remove your dog from the soiled area, then clean up. After the soil is cleaned, it’s okay to bring your dog back into the same area. It’s also not a good idea to over coddle.
  6. Products such as the ThunderShirt are well worth trying. The ThunderShirt uses gentle hugging to calm your dog, visit their site for details. We recommend combining training, behavior modification with the ThunderShirt. http://www.thundershirt.com/
  7. Consider reconditioning /desensitize your dog to lessen his panic during monsoon season. Bark Busters Tucson can help you with training exercises to change your dog’s negative associations with storms and help him relax. If you do not have a Bark Buster Trainer in your area, research a proven trainer in your area and reach out for help.

For extreme cases, you may want to talk with your veterinarian about using medication in conjunction with training. Your dog’s monsoon fear won’t get better on its own, but with strong leadership from you, behavior modification and lots of effort from you, he can learn to behave and remain calm during our Tucson, Arizona monsoons, which will help you relax and enjoy the summer as well.
