A permanent tower will be built on the site shortly. Sandoval Volunteers needed Saturday for fire rehabilitation Los Alamos County needs 500 volunteers Saturday to help with fire rehabilitation efforts, said Al Toth, head of the volunteer rehabilitation project for the county. Anyone wishing to assist should show up at the LA County Library parking lot at 8 a.m. Saturday. Bright colors should be avoided to deter wasps. The work to be done includes raking, seeding and mulching.
Work shifts are approximately four hours long so sunscreen is highly recommended.
For those without hiking boots, the county also has indicated that it needs 15 to 20 people to provide administrative help Saturday for such things as registration as well as handing out equipment and water. Two hundred people also are needed to work in White Rock filling sandbags. Those interested in sandbag work should report to Overlook Park at field number 3 at 8 a.m. While there may be other projects in the future, Toth says volunteers will be needed on Saturdays throughout the month of June in an effort to mitigate potential flooding problems before August when the monsoons arrive. Deputy Energy Secretary T.J. Glauthier will visit the Laboratory today for discussions related to the aftermath of the Cerro Grande fire and environmental remediation plans.
