News Alert!!: Mohave County, AZ: New watercraft restrictions being proposed for the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is again proposing new series of no wake and restricted zones throughout the backwaters of the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge in Mohave County, Arizona just a year after a controversial watercraft restriction, that proposed restrictions on recreational boating in the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, failed to get any support and was withdrawn.
** Map (Pictured Above) of new watercraft restriction being proposed from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service: **
Under the new proposal, waters inaccessible to boaters will be designated as backwaters, prohibiting boaters from launching watercraft or operating personal watercraft in the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge areas, including Beal Lake, Pintail Slough, Lost Lake and Topock Bay.
The stipulation would prohibit towed recreational activities in these areas and prohibit kite-boarding and hydro-flight equipment in waters south of Interstate 40 near Topock, Arizona.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s proposal would also remove restrictions on air-cooled outboard engines, while prohibiting the use of hovercraft within refuge waters.
** A draft CD of the new proposal was released to the public and can be viewed at the following website address: **
The public comment period is for 30 days, beginning Tuesday, August 1st, 2017 through Wednesday, August 30th, 2017.
To be part of the record, comments must be in writing to:
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Havasu National Wildlife Refuge,
Attn: Draft Recreational Boating CD Comments
317 Mesquite Avenue
Needles, California, 92363.
You can also email the United States Fish and Wildlife Service with your comments to: havasu_comments@fws.gov
In addition comments must be received on, or postmarked by, Wednesday, August 30th, 2017.
In 2016, a previous draft CD was released of a proposal watercraft restriction by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service resulted in public outcry against stricter proposals.
Crowd of people (Pictured Above) filled up the conference hall at the Avi Resort and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016 to speak out against the United States Fish and Wildlife Service proposed boating restrictions, including from local city, county, and state officials, including Needles Mayor Edward T. Paget, San Bernardino County Supervisors Robert Lovingood, Mohave County Supervisor Buster Johnson, United States Congressman Paul Cook, and United States Senators McCain and Flake.
United States Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake, both Arizona Republicans, filed an amendment to the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill designed to drive the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to drop proposed restrictions on recreational boating at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge.
“USFWS’s proposal to restrict recreational boating near Lake Havasu could devastate small businesses throughout the region that depend on the millions of people who visit every year to enjoy boating, water skiing, and other activities on the lake. The USFWS should rethink its proposal and listen to the concerns raised by the citizens of Mohave County whose lives and livelihoods depend on outdoor recreation,” said United States Senator John McCain of Arizona.
After a lot of public outcry and extension of the comment period, the proposed boating restrictions was withdrawn.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is saying that these new proposed restrictions will do little to obstruct recreational boating in the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge or on the Colorado River.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service have not said yet if there will be any public meetings for the public to address their concerns on this new proposal.

A committee is working on creating a permanent memorial for victims of the Terrorist Attack at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California that occurred a year ago on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015.
The terrorist attack killed 14 people and wounded 22 people before the 2 terrorists attackers were shot and killed by authorities in a shootout.
According to the County of San Bernardino, a committee charged with creating a permanent memorial to the victims of the terrorist attack continues to work toward its goal.
The December 2nd Memorial Committee recently completed a review of several memorials from across the country, noting how, in nearly every instance, the sponsoring agency used a structured process to allow artists, architects and designers to submit proposals.
The committee will discuss how to proceed when it reconvenes after the first of the year.
In February 2016, Board of Supervisors Chairman James Ramos appointed Fifth District Supervisor Josie Gonzales and Chief Executive Officer Greg Devereaux to assemble and lead a committee to conceive the memorial.
The committee consists of representatives from public safety, the departments of Behavioral Health, Public Health and Real Estate Services, the County Administrative Office and, most importantly, representatives from the Environmental Health Services division and family members of the county employees who were taken from us on that day.
The committee has held several meetings to identify key points of consideration and to establish an overall vision for the memorial based on shared values.
The committee has determined the memorial should recognize the broad diversity and lives of the victims as well as those who stepped up to preserve and protect life.
The memorial will also provide enduring recognition of the county employees who witnessed the attack, many of whom were physically injured and all of whom were emotionally impacted.
The committee believes the memorial should be a place for quiet reflection.
The committee is making it a point to put careful consideration into each aspect of the memorial process, understanding that memorials can take up to a decade to develop.
As the year anniversary of this tragic event approaches, the committee members want the public to know that work is progressing in a thoughtful and inclusive manner.
The process will take time, but the result will appropriately and eternally reflect the many important and unique people, stories, and lessons of Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015.
The December 2nd Memorial Committee will enter into talks at the beginning of 2017 on how to proceed with the December 2nd Memorial.
**** ZachNews sends our thoughts, prayers, and condolences to the family and friends of the victims in the deadly shooting attack in San Bernardino, California. May we stand united together with the people of San Bernardino, California and be there to help the victims and their families. May we all not allow evil to take down our communities and may we not allow evil to divide us. Stay Strong and United San Bernardino, California. ****
News Alert!!: Topock, AZ: United States Fish and Wildlife Service proposing additional boating restrictions along Colorado River within Havasu National Wildlife Refuge.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing additional boating restrictions along the Colorado River within the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, including the entire Topock Marsh area near Topock, Arizona.
According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, due to an increase in safety concerns and the protection of wildlife habitat, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service is in the process of reassessing all boating recreation activities taking place at the Refuge.
A draft recreational boating compatibility determination for Havasu National Wildlife Refuge is now available for public review and comment.
ZachNews have received a 11 page draft documents regarding the proposal that was released from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
** Draft Documents: **
The Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, originally named the Havasu Lake National Wildlife Refuge, was established by Executive Order by United States of America President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941 for the primary purpose of providing migratory bird habitat.
The Havasu National Wildlife Refuge is comprised of 37,515 acres along the lower Colorado river in Arizona and California.
The Havasu National Wildlife Refuge protects 30 river miles and encompasses 300 miles of shoreline from Needles, California, to Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, one of the last remaining natural stretches of the lower Colorado River flows through the 20 mile long the Topock Gorge.
Thousands of visitors annually flock to the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge to boat through the spectacular Topock Gorge, to fish in Topock Marsh, and to hike in the Havasu Wilderness Area.
Resorts such as the Topock 66 Spa and Resort in Topock, Arizona and Pirate Cove Resort and Marina in Needles, California relay on those thousands of visitors who travel far and wide to enjoy the beauty of the Colorado River and the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge.

**** Agenda Item #3: Information from the City of Needles: Wastewater: ****
– Title:
Public hearing noticed to consider all evidence and testimony for or against a proposed increase in wastewater rates for wastewater service.
– Background:
There are insufficient revenues to fully fund water and wastewater expenses, including debt, operations/maintenance, capital improvements, and a prudent reserve. In 1997 the City sold the utility assets to the newly created Needles Public Utility Authority (“NPUA”), which in turn created $65M in debt which is being paid back on a long term payment plan including revenue bonds sold in the public bond market. The $21M bond sale was predicated on the establishment of an independent rate setting body, the Board of Public Utilities (“Utility Board”) and the assurance that the utilities would be funded independently and adequately in order to assure the bond holders that they would be repaid over the 30 year period of the loan. Since then, costs have exceeded revenues and the water and wastewater utilities need additional revenue to meet bond requirements and fulfill the NPUA’s contractual, financial and regulatory fiduciary responsibilities.
In early 2014 the NPUA initiated a rate review beginning with a Cost of Services Analysis. The Utility Board then established a target revenue amount and developed a detailed rate structure to generate those funds. The proposed wastewater rate structure was included in Resolution No. 12-1-15-1 BPU (revised). The City Council acting as the NPUA Board of Commissioners received the Utility Board recommended rates and initiated the process required by the California Constitution. (Proposition 218, 1998)
Public notice was issued (mailed) on January 29, 2016, identifying the amount of the existing and proposed rates, the basis upon which the proposed rates were calculated, and the reason for the proposed rate increase, , and setting a time and place for a public hearing for the Utility Board and NPUA/City Council. The public hearing notice was published in the Needles Desert Star on February 17, 2016. Additionally staff conducted 8 community meetings and numerous meetings with individuals at which ratepayers could receive comprehensive information and determine the proposed rate impact to them and their property and fully understand the water and wastewater utilities and their funding needs. Approximately 100 ratepayers attended the community meetings, met with NPUA staff, or received a presentation of the proposed rates.
On March 15, 2016 the Utility Board conducted and concluded a duly noticed public hearing concerning the recommended rate increases and considered all written and oral comments presented. No majority protest to the recommended increases was presented under Proposition 218. At the close of the public hearing the Utility Board adopted Resolution No. 3-1516-1 BPU establishing rates for wastewater service, subject to approval by the NPUA and City Council.
– Fiscal impact:
Additional revenues to the wastewater utility to fund expenses.
– Environmental Impact:
N/A
– Recommended Action:
Needles Public Utility Authority Action: Resolution No. 4-12-2016-NPUA approving rates for wastewater service effective May 1, 2016 and rescinding all prior resolutions relating to the establishment of wastewater rates.
Needles City Council Action: Resolution No. 2016-19 approving rates for wastewater service effective May 1, 2016 and rescinding all prior resolutions relating to the establishment of Wastewater rates.
