efforts to keep the Dewey-Humboldt community informed about developments and
progress related to our work at the Iron
King Mine / Humboldt Smelter (IKHS) Superfund site, EPA would like to describe
our recent and upcoming activities at the
site.
EPA has completed sampling,
screening evaluation, and health risk assessment for almost 600 residential properties in Dewey-Humboldt. We have found
that the soils in the vast majority of yards
do not pose an unacceptable health risk
to residents as a result of the former mine
or smelter operations. However, EPA has
identified a limited number of properties
where levels of lead (or arsenic) in yard
soil are high enough that exposure to the
soils over the long term could pose a
health risk.
In late January, EPA obtained authorization and funding to proceed with a
cleanup action for soils at the limited number of residential yards where cleanup is
warranted. Planning for the cleanup is
now underway, which includes reaching
out directly to homeowners whose yards
may be impacted and identifying sources
of clean soil to replace contaminated soils
removed during the cleanup. In the upcoming weeks, EPA will issue a fact sheet
that will include in-depth details about the
residential cleanup, what it will entail, and
how we made our decisions about which
yards would require cleanup. EPA is also
planning an in-person community meeting
and Town Council update for late March
or early April, and meeting dates and location will be announced in the upcoming
weeks.
EPA has also made progress on the
Feasibility Study for the site, which is a
study of cleanup alternatives that examines and evaluates options for addressing
contamination at the non-residential areas
of the site (such as the tailings pile, flood
plain filled with tailings, the dam, and the
smelter property). While this study will
likely take a year in total to complete, we
hope to be able to present some preliminary information about cleanup options in

the upcoming months.
We will be reaching out in the next
few weeks about our upcoming outreach.
In the meantime, if you have questions or
concerns about EPA activities in DeweyHumboldt, please contact Heather Parker,
EPA Community Involvement Coordinator, at (415) 972-3112 or parker.heather@epa.gov.

Town reinstated a separate
Board of Adjustment. The Town of
Dewey-Humboldt is required by state law
to establish a Board of Adjustment with
the following powers and duties:
(a) Hear and decide appeals from a
decision, determination or interpretation
made by the Zoning Administrator, in
which it is alleged there is an error in an
order, requirement or decision made by
the Zoning Administrator in the enforcement of a zoning ordinance;
(b) Hear and decide appeals for variances from the terms of the zoning ordinance only if, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including its size, shape, topography, location,
or surroundings, the strict application of
the zoning ordinance will deprive such
property of privileges enjoyed by other
property of the same classification in the
same zoning district. Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as
will assure that the adjustment authorized
shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and
zone in which such property is located;
(c) Hear and decide appeals from decisions of the Zoning Administrator in requests for adjustments as set forth in division below;
(d) Reverse or affirm, wholly or partly,
or modify the order or decision appealed
from and make such order or decision as
ought to be made; and;
(e) Interpret this chapter when the
meaning of any word, phrase, or section
is in doubt, or where doubt exists as to
the proper district of a specific use.
The Board of Adjustment (BOA) is
not intended to meet often. Town Council
has performed the duties of BOA since
2012 and has heard three hearings as the
BOA since then.
BOA—Continued on page 2

2 The Dewey-Humboldt Newsletter
former
BOA—Continued from page 1 At
CM Arlene Alen’s request, the Council
began the process of reinstating a
separate BOA in August 2016. As of
January 2017, Council received 10
applications, adopted Ordinance 17132 reinstating the Board of Adjustment, and appointed a five (5) member Board. Three serve four (4) year
terms and two serve two (2) year
terms.
The members serving 4 year
terms are: Ulys Brooks; Theodore
Brooks; Cheryl Taylor.
The members serving 2 year
terms are: Linda Horvath; Gary
Ford.
The BOA appointments became
effective in February, 30 days after
Ordinance 17-132 was approved. All
BOA meetings and hearings will subject to the Open Meeting Law requirements. The agendas will be posted
on the Town website www.dhaz.gov if
you are interested in attending its future meetings. You can also contact
Steven Brown, Community Planner or
Judy Morgan, Town Clerk for future
BOA meeting information.
We wish to welcome the new
Board Members and to wish them
success in this challenging and responsible task to which they have
been appointed.
A new Community Outreach bulletin board. At CM Wendt’s request,
Council authorized staff to install a
new Community Outreach Bulletin
Board at the location of the Acme
Water’s standpipe, near the intersection of Kachina and Manzanita, just off
State Route 69. The Bulletin Board
was installed in cooperation with Acme Water Company and has been in
use since early February.
This was seen as an opportunity
to provide an additional location for
the presentation of information of interest to community residents. The
standpipe is visited by numerous residents of Dewey-Humboldt and the
surrounding communities on a fairly
regular basis.
Please note that this new bulletin
board is for community outreach information only.
Mandated postings
(agendas, ordinances, etc.) will not be
posted here. For mandated postings,
please see one of the three crier
boards located at the following locations: Dewey-Humboldt Town Hall,
2735 South Highway 69, by Suite 10
(Council Chambers), Humboldt; Chev-

ron Station Market, 2735 South Highway 69, Humboldt; and Blue Ridge
Market, Highway 69 and Kachina
Drive, Dewey. If you have any questions about “mandatory postings”,
please contact the Town Clerk, Judy
Morgan at 928-632-7362 or judymorgan@dhaz.gov.
We wish to thank Acme Water
Company for allowing the Town to install the bulletin board, and hope that
visitors to the standpipe will thank
them as well through their patronage.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORNER
Building Permit Requirements:
Town regularly receives

questions of whether a building permit
is needed for a structure. The easy
answer is “Call the Building Official at
632-7362 and find out”.
Oftentimes inquires on zoning and
permitting matters can lead to complicated scenarios, and it is not always
easy to give a generalized answer. In
the case of building a structure under
400 sq. ft,, the Town’s Code of Ordinances, Section 105.2.1, provides
that: A building permit shall not be
required for the following:
One–story detached accessory building on RESIDENTAIL PROPERTIES
ONLY, used as tool and storage
sheds, garages, carports, playhouses,
animal shades, barns, and similar
uses, provided the area does not exceed 400 square feet under roof and
not to exceed a height of 12’ from natural grade to the mean roof height.
The site of the accessory building
must meet all setbacks, and requires
a zoning clearance permit to verify
this.
Any addition of plumbing, mechanical, or electrical to the structure will
require a separate building permit.
Detached accessory buildings shall
not be considered or used as habitable space.
As one finds out from reading the
above code, there are a great deal of
variables. Just a couple of examples:
commercial structures and residential
structures are subject to different
rules; if your barn exceeds a certain
height, then it would be subject to a
different set of rules. Therefore, always call Town Hall and the Building
Official when you are planning to build
something.

PERMITS ISSUED
The Town’s Building Department
issued the following permits in January. This information is to indicate
growth in the community.

Single Family Residences—2



Manufactured Homes—0

REGIONAL NEWS
RABIES SHOTS
CRUCIAL AS CASES
SURFACE IN COUNTY
From the Prescott Valley Town News
Keeping up on rabies vaccinations
is one of your most important responsibilities as a pet owner. Neglecting rabies shots can cause you to lose your
pet, through contact with a rabid wild
animal, or because of contact with a wild
animal and no proof of vaccination.
In the past two months two cases
of rabies in wild animals have been confirmed within 45 miles of Prescott Valley.
In December two dogs and a horse on a
Cordes Lake ranch had to be euthanized after being attacked by a rabid
fox. None of the animals had current
rabies vaccinations. In January authorities euthanized a bobcat in Sedona after
it injured four people, a dog, and a
house cat in three separate attacks.
State law requires that if a dog or
cat is bitten by a wild animal, unless that
animal can be caught and tested, animal
control must assume the wild animal
had rabies. If the pet has a current rabies vaccination, it must be quarantined
at home for 45 days. If the pet does not
have a current vaccination it must either
be quarantined at a veterinary facility for
six months at the owner’s expense, or
euthanized.
The Yavapai Humane Society has
low cost vaccination and licensing clinic
each Friday from 8 to11:30am and 1 to
4:30pm. Local veterinarians and feed
stores often have vaccination and licensing clinics.
