Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) Fire Station and Access Control Point Modernization White Sands Missile Range
White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) Directorate of
Emergency Services (DES) proposes to construct five new fire stations and two access control
points (ACPs). The existing Las Cruces and El Paso ACPs would be relocated further away from
the main cantonment area, with the new El Paso ACP sited entirely on Fort Bliss. These new
facilities would be constructed to current regulations and would provide more efficient operations.
WSMR currently operates four fire stations. To maintain the current level of service, new stations
would be constructed near the existing facilities. A fifth fire station is proposed for construction in
mid-range WSMR to provide additional emergency services for foreseeable future projects.
Each of these six existing facilities would be surveyed and evaluated for the potential for historical
significance. Facilities that cannot be repurposed and are found not to hold historical significance
would be demolished.
Fiber optic conduit will be installed along US 60 from the I-25 intersection to Clovis, NM, approximately 230 miles. Construction will generally require a temporary 40-foot work area, while trench
disturbance is expected to be limited to approximately 12-16 inches in width. Maximum excavation depth is
anticipated to be approximately 4 feet for fiber-optic trenching/plowing and 10 feet for direction boring under
under roadways, utility infrastructure, and drainages. Trench, plow, and bore methods will be utilized where
appropriate and most favorable to the land owner. The MMR team emphasized flexibility in route alignment to
avoid cultural resources, environmentally sensitive areas, and other identified constraints. Typical bore lengths
range from 400-600 feet, with specialized equipment capable of completing crossings of several thousand feet
when needed

Our client proposes to remove an existing 29.7-foot-tall light pole and replace it with a 24.6-foot-tall light pole with telecommunications antennas. A proposed fiber conduit will route northwest from the proposed pole approximately 6 feet to a proposed fiber vault. A proposed light conduit will route southwest from the proposed pole approximately 2 feet to a proposed electrical pull box. A proposed power conduit will route generally northwest from the proposed pole approximately 92 feet to a proposed meter pedestal, then continue approximately 5 feet northwest to an existing utility pole. The site is located within a public right of way surrounded by residential development.

Proposed construction of a 100-ft (104-ft with appurtenances) monopole communications tower with associated fence compound, access/utility easement and gravel turnaround area
The United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Elephant Butte Irrigation District (EBID), in cooperation with New Mexico State University, are preparing a Supplemental Watershed Plan-Environmental Assessment (Supplemental Plan-EA) for the Tortugas Arroyo Watershed Dam Site 1 Rehabilitation Project in Las Cruces, New Mexico within Doña Ana County. The Supplemental Plan-EA is being prepared and funded in accordance with the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (PL 83-566), which provides for cooperation between the Federal Government and the States and their political subdivisions to address resource concerns due to erosion, floodwater, and sediment and provide for improved utilization of the land and water resources.

Vero Long Haul ILA hut and lateral lines sites for fiberoptic cable installation between Phoenix and Albuquerque. Installation expected in early 2027. Lateral line installation will occur through HDD, and ILA huts will be constructed on private land. The polygon represents the Action area of the Project. Biological habitat assessment surveys have been conducted, no T & E species found. The laterals would serve as a connection between the In-Line Amplifier facility, located on private land, and the fiber-optic running line

Nation Gold plans to conduct exploration drilling which includes reopening old roads and creating drill pads on the reworked roads. There is very little native ground disturbance proposed as most of the disturbance (up to 5 acres) will occur on previously disturbed sites. The project will be implemented when the permitting with New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division and the United States Forest Service is complete and ground conditions are suitable. The purpose of this request is to inform baseline biological surveys. The entire project area was burned by the Little Bear Fire in 2012.
