AML Red Point Abandoned Uranium Mine, Biological Assessment/Biological Evaluation The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), in cooperation with the New Mexico State Land Office (NMSLO), and the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) Abandoned Mine Land Program (AMLP), collectively hereafter referred to as the "Agencies", are in the planning and prioritization stages toward developing strategies to remediate radiological hazards and other health and safety threats associated with abandoned uranium mines (AUMs) located on private and State Trust Lands (STL) in the Grants Mineral District near Milan, New Mexico. Public health and safety are the primary directive of the Agencies initiative and the purpose and need for this project is to safeguard the public from adverse effects associated with AUMs, including but not limited to dangerous waste piles, subsidence, vertical and horizontal openings, and contaminated groundwater, air and soil that do not meet the reclamation requirements under federal cleanup programs. Currently, the Agencies are focused on project development and construction/remediation at the Red Point AUM site. The draft BA/BE documenting the Red Point AUM project area is enclosed for your review. The Agencies request that you review the draft BA/BE and provide any comments and recommendations at your earliest convenience, but no later than June 30, 2026.
