Southline Transmission Line Project The Southline Transmission Line Project consists of two primary sections: 1) New Build and 2) Upgrade. The New Build section will include a new double-circuit 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line that will start at the Afton Generating Station, located approximately 12 miles southwest of Las Cruces, New Mexico, and travels 219.4 miles west along a 200-foot-wide right-of-way (ROW) to the Apache Generating Station located nearly 12 miles to the southwest of Willcox, Arizona. For the Upgrade section, the existing Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) 115-kV transmission lines will be upgraded to a double-circuit 230-kV transmission lines from the Apache Generating Station that travels 56.2 miles west along a 150-foot-wide ROW to the Vail Substation in Tucson, Arizona. The project previously had a FEIS and BO; however, the project has changed some and has new ownership (Grid United is the current owner). Therefore, SWCA is investigating the need for reinitiation of Section 7 Consultation with the USFWS, including (1) if any new impacts to species previously conducted; (2) new effects to newly listed species and/or critical habitats; or (3) any new candidate, proposed species, or proposed critical habitats need to be addressed. The BLM is the lead federal agency on the New Build portion and WAPA is the lead federal agency on the Upgrade portion.

Crownpoint ISR The proposed action is the NRC staff's review, and, if approved, renewal of NuFuels' NRC source and byproduct material license SUA-1580 for the Crownpoint ISR project in a portion of the Navajo Nation in McKinley County, New Mexico for an additional 20 years. If approved by the NRC, under renewed license SUA-1580, NuFuels will have met the NRC's requirements to continue to pursue construction and operation of an ISR facility at the Crownpoint ISR site. NuFuels plans to recover uranium from the ore body and produce yellowcake using the ISR process. The project would consist of constructing processing facilities and sequentially developed wellfields in the four areas: Church Rock Section 8, Church Rock Section 17, Crownpoint, and Unit 1.

Village of Reserve Storage Facility Project The Village of Reserve (Village) is in the process of developing infrastructure, to include an 80- x 80- foot storage facility on 2.03 acres of Village-owned lands to house fire equipment (Appendix A, Figures 1- 3, Appendix B Photos). The building will provide space for storage of fire vehicles in 8 bays, i.e. 4 bays wide and 2 bays deep. Bay door access will be at both front and back of the building to enable drive-through access to parking of the vehicles. A narrow area for storage is planned to be located on one side of the building. Concrete aprons will be provided in front and back of the building. The building will be plumbed for water for truck washing etc. There will be no rest rooms as they are available next door in the Fire Administration Building, which also contains a training room and office. The proposed building will be located about 35 feet south of the Administration Building. Vehicle access to the proposed Bay Building will be from 2"° Street to the West side (Back). Vehicle egress will be from the East side (Front) to Foster Drive. Proposed Action 2025-08-20 public_comment_letter_NMERT-4965.pdf
