Our client proposes to remove an existing light pole and replace it with a 24.1-foot-tall light pole with telecommunications antennas (29.9 feet overall). A proposed fiber conduit will route from the proposed pole approximately 6 feet west to an existing fiber vault. A proposed power conduit will route south of the proposed pole approximately 48 feet to a proposed meter pedestal, then west approximately 122 feet to an existing power pole. A proposed electric pull box will be installed approximately 2 feet east of the proposed pole and will route generally south approximately 51 feet then route west approximately 3 feet to the proposed meter pedestal. The site is within a public right of way in the vicinity of residential development.
On behalf of ForeFront Power Origination, LLC (FFP), Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (Westwood) is
gathering information and requesting agency comments for the proposed Pino II Solar Project (Project) in San

and Gallegos Road in Las Vegas, NM. A map of the Project Area location and boundary is enclosed for your

by the San Miguel County Assessor's Office as Parcel 1-093-093-157-255 (Project Area).

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.
