District 3 Integrated Vegetation Management Plan
The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) has prepared an Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) plan for District 3. The NMDOT's IVM mission is to develop and implement site-appropriate integrative management actions that result in resilient, self-sustaining native roadside vegetation that decrease the need for mowing and herbicide use.
DESRI Renewables, LLC (Applicant) is proposing to site a new generation-tie transmission line and substation for the Tumbleweed Transmission Facilities Project (Project) to connect a new solar generating facility to the new Bitter Lake Substation owned by Xcel Energy. The proposed Project will be located on 124 acres of privately owned property within unincorporated Chaves County, to the east of Roswell, New Mexico. In support of the Applicant's Location Control Permit application to the New Mexico Public Regulatory Commission pursuant to New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978, Section 62-9-3, Tetra Tech (Consultant) is reviewing a refined project area for potential biological impacts. The purpose of the Project is to provide an interconnection between the new Tumbleweed Solar generation facility and the Xcel Energy transmission system. The interconnection will provide renewably generated energy to consumers in New Mexico, in support of the New Mexico Energy Transition Act (NMSA § 62-18-1 through 23).
5MW solar facility comprised of I-beams supporting the array, and access road, fencing, vegetative screening, and various equipment pads. No Trees will be removed and wetlands will not be disturbed.

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.
