The 2009 Navajo Nation Long Range Transportation Plan is a twenty-year comprehensive plan developed and updated by the Navajo Division of Transportation in a five-year cycle. The plan identifies the Nation’s multi-modal transportation needs over the next 20 years and develops strategies to meet them. The plan provides long range planning policies and implementation strategies for the Navajo Indian Reservation Roads Program improvements. It is based on a comprehensive analysis of all pertinent factors and issues affecting the Navajo Nation’s existing and future transportation needs.

A number of significant positive and negative economic impacts could result from Pima County's SDCP and related programs, according to an analysis of existing research on large-scale conservation planning undertaken to provide a framework for community decision-making. This report offers no final verdict on the net economic impact of Pima County's current, ambitious initiatives in habitat conservation and growth management. However, it does provide a framework for future assessment and decision-making.

Saguaro National Park encompasses two geographically distinct areas: Rincon Mountain District and Tucson Mountain District. Of the two, only Rincon Park has significant riparian habitat due to Tanque Verde Ridge. The scope of this study includes Rincon Creek, its tributary riparian areas and Tanque Verde Creek riparian tributary areas within or immediately adjacent to the Park. Both of these creeks have riparian resources that will likely be impacted by proposed development adjacent to the Park boundaries.

The purpose of this report is to make our progress in the battle against methamphetamine transparent to the citizens of Arizona. The Governor’s "A Plan for Action: Addressing the Methamphetamine Crisis in Arizona" reported that over the past decade Arizona had seen a steady rise in the reporting of methamphetamine-related drugs as the primary illicit drug used by individuals seeking treatment. A Plan for Action also reported that methamphetamine use placed a disproportionate burden on law enforcement and the treatment and child welfare systems, making meth abuse not only a public health crisis but a public safety concern because of the devastation, violence, and crime associated with the manufacture and distribution of the drug.

This Progress Report shows that the Task Force has been responsive to its initial charge and has made significant strides in addressing the Plan for Action priority recommendations since its inception in August 2006. We have real and tangible outcomes and have created an infrastructure that will continue to respond
to this specific drug threat. The Task Force Progress Report serves as a recommitment by the Task Force
to continue its momentum in the upcoming year, keeping Arizona strong against the methamphetamine crisis.

This summary report overviews a State of Arizona and U. S. Department of Energy funded drilling project to determine if near-term hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal potential exists in the eastern portion of the White Mountains region of Arizona. A 4,505 feet deep slim-hole exploratory well, Alpine1/Federal, was drilled within the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest at Alpine Divide near the Alpine Divide camp ground about 5 miles north of Alpine, Arizona in Apache County (Figure 1). A comprehensive technical report, in two parts, details the results of the project. Part 1, Alpine1/Federal, Drilling Report, discusses the drilling operations,
logging program, permitting and site selection for the hole. Part 2, Temperature Gradients, Geothermal Potential, and Geology, summarizes the temperature gradients, heat flow, geothermal potential, and subsurface geology.

Every state with geothermal resources faces different challenges to utilizing those resources to help meet their energy needs. The purpose of this report is to combine an analysis of relevant literature and interviews with industry stakeholders in Arizona with different perspectives, to understand what types of policies and actions public institutions can take to encourage greater development of Arizona’s geothermal resources. The research has been aided by previous study done on Utah and New Mexico, and ongoing study on Idaho and Nevada, which have helped create a framework for the research on Arizona. Over the course of the research numerous experts have been interviewed that are involved with geothermal resource development. Specifically for this report, the interviews include discussion with more than 15 individuals who have been involved with geothermal development in Arizona (including geologists, developers, utilities, regulators, consultants, direct-use facility operators, clean energy advocates and university researchers). Ultimately, after taking into consideration the broad spectrum of opinions, the findings of this report represent a general consensus or “majority viewpoint” of what various stakeholders agree are the overall needs to unlocking greater development in Arizona.

This guide provides assistance to schools and those working with schools in establishing and supporting tobacco free policies. The first edition of "Full Spectrum" was released in 1998. The purpose of this second edition is to provide updated information, including the new Arizona law prohibiting use and possession of tobacco products on all school campuses, and to provide revised policy information reflecting the new law. Includes how to set up policies, examples of policies, new legal code on smoking on campuses, and programs for helping schools and students be tobacco-free.
