Steins Minimal Impact Mineral Exploration Project
The New Mexico MMD has received an application from Curiousity Exploration, LLC to issue the minimal impact exploration permit for the Steins Mineral Exploration Project assigned Permit No. HI026EM. This application requests drilling of nine exploration boreholes to a depth of 3,500 feet each, construction of six drill pads 100 feet by 100 feet, 18 mud pits 12 feet by 12 feet by 4 feet deep, one road 4,895 feet long and 15 feet wide (1.69 acre), and widening 6,436 feet of existing road from 11 feet to 15 feet (0.59 acre). The applicant anticipates disturbing approximately 4.35 acres associated with the exploration activities.
This is an ADA Courthouse improvement project. The Lincoln County Courthouse will install an ADA elevator and other ADA improvements including restrooms and staircases. All construction will be at the courthouse located at 300 Central, Carrizozo NM.
Cellco Partnership and its controlled affiliates doing business as Verizon Wireless (Verizon Wireless) is proposing to construct a 25' 3" telecommunication public lighting structure and proposed new utility routes near 9000 Trumbull Ave SE, Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (35°04'09.0"N 106°32'58.3"W).
The area surrounding the proposed tower site primarily consists of residential properties and streets. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recommendations published in Revised Guidelines for Communication Tower Design, Siting, Construction, Operation, Retrofitting, and Decommissioning (2013) state that the preferred tower height to decrease potential effects on migratory birds is less than 200 feet tall. The siting and design process for this project conforms to USFWS recommendations by limiting the tower height to 25.25 feet and eliminating the need for guy wires or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) obstruction lighting.
According to the USFWS NWI map, there are no wetlands or waterways within one mile of the proposed tower location. The proposed tower site is located outside of the 0.1% annual chance floodplain zones and is located in Zone X, according to the FEMA floodplain map.
Chino is looking to expand their property into these areas, using them as waste rock stockpiles. Two areas will be waste rock stockpiles, and a portion of one area will be for the storage of reclaimed material. Project activities include vegetation clearing, contouring, and grading, the construction of roads and infrastructure associated with the stockpiles, the use of the stockpiles during mine operations, and their subsequent closure and reclamation. Within these polygons, the central areas will be used as stockpiles. A 200 foot buffer around these central areas will consist of the "operational zone," and a buffered area an additional 300 ft from this boundary is considered the maximum extent of the Action Area, accounting for Project-associated effects of surface disturbance, vehicular traffic, noise, dust, and light.
Surveys completed in these areas include archaeological surveys and vegetation surveys specific to identifying foraging resources for bat species and monarch butterfly.
Activities are scheduled to begin in 2027.
Proposed construction of a self support tower with a total height of 199 ft. within a 25 ft by 20 ft. fenced compound within a 100 ft. by 100 ft. lease area. In addition, proposed access and utility easement.
Our client proposes to remove an existing 24-foot 10-inch-tall public lighting structure, and install a new 27-foot-tall public lighting telecommunications structure (overall height of 32 feet 10 inches). A proposed electrical conduit will extend approximately 11 feet west to a proposed electrical meter, then continue for approximately 145 feet, terminating at an existing power pole. A proposed fiber conduit will extend approximately 2 feet east, terminating at an existing fiber vault. A proposed service conduit will extend south approximately 2 feet, terminating at a proposed pull box. A second proposed electrical conduit will extend approximately 11 feet northwest, then west from the pull box, terminating at the proposed meter. Site is located within a public right of way, surrounded by residential development.
