    Cave Springs bank stabilization project

    logo_USFS_USDASedona AZ (February 19, 2014) – Coconino National Forest is seeking public comments on a project proposal that would stabilize a section of Oak Creek and restore the creek to a more natural configuration.

    The Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino NF proposes to stabilize the bank of Oak Creek immediately adjacent to the Cave Springs Campground road, which includes a bank section that is being undercut and is now susceptible to collapse.

    The section of bank was stabilized in 1996 using a combination of rip-rap and grout, but if action is not taken to re-stabilize the bank and realign Oak Creek, the bank will eventually fail, which will then threaten the Cave Springs Campground road.

    In the project area, Oak Creek has two distinct channels, separated by an island of cobbles and boulders. The channel which contains the main flow of Oak Creek is being directed around the island and into the bank, which is causing the undercutting.

    The proposal involves stabilizing this section of stream bank towards a more stable form while protecting the special riverine habitat. This would protect the road, the campground infrastructure and also allow the banks of Oak Creek to be in a more stable state.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
