State Land Office Lesser Prairie Chicken LURC This Baseline Documentation Report ("Baseline") is intended to support the Land Use Restriction or Condition ("LURC") Limiting Certain Surface Uses granted by the New Mexico State Land Office ("NMSLO") to the New Mexico Land Conservancy ("NMLC"). The LURC prohibits the development of new utility-scale (exceeding one megawatt) solar and wind projects as well as any new electric transmission lines (115 kilovolts or above). The purposes of this Baseline are: (1) to describe and establish the condition of the property being encumbered by the LURC agreement ("Property") at the time of the closing; (2) to serve as a baseline for monitoring and enforcement of land use restrictions; (3) to serve as a guide for the stewardship of the Property; and (4) to document the conservation values associated with the Property.

NOI for PEIS Hermit’s Peak and Calf Canyon (HPCC) Burn Scar Project Watershed Plan The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) New Mexico State Office announces its intent to prepare a PEIS for the HPCC Burn Scar Project, in Mora, Colfax, Taos, Rio Arriba, Santa Fe, Guadalupe, and San Miguel Counties, New Mexico. The PEIS will examine alternative solutions to address flooding, sedimentation, erosion, water quality impairments, and agricultural water management on private lands due to loss of land cover and the overall burn severity of the HPCC fire. The project area is approximately 500 square miles and includes 33 Hydrologic Unit Code-12 watersheds within nine Hydrologic Unit Code-10 watersheds (nine watersheds). The primary purpose for the PEIS is to provide improvement to increase the flood resilience to protect the communities that have been affected by the HPCC fire and restore the project areas' function that is essential to healthy streams and clean water; healthy forest, soil, and ecosystem; and healthy flora and fauna on private lands and in conjunction with other restoration efforts on National Forest System (NFS) lands. NRCS is requesting comments to identify significant issues, potential alternatives, information, and analyses relevant to the Proposed Action from all interested individuals, Federal and State agencies, and Tribes and Pueblos.

Proposed Hydrogen Facility Taos Taos - Project Description Kit Carson Electric Cooperative (KCEC) is proposing to install a hydrogen facility in Taos, Taos County, New Mexico (NM). The site is located just south of Los Cordovas Rd and just west of the Taos wastewater treatment plant and has a parcel number of 1069146462198. A physical address for the wastewater treatment plant just east of the site is 182 Los Cordovas Rd. Ranchos De Taos, NM 87557. The purpose is to expand crucial utility infrastructure in rural communities, develop new infrastructure where available, and facilitate KCEC's goal of 100% renewable energy. The area where the project is proposed has been previously impacted due by the installation of multiple adjacent solar arrays to the south and a wastewater treatment facility to the east. Multiple residences surround the project with the nearest being just over 400 feet to the north of the project site. In the past the project site was utilized by the wastewater treatment facility as a biosolids field. Onsite installations will consist of a hydrogen production facility used to create electricity for the town of Taos and surrounding areas. The facility will consist of an electrolyzer, a fuel cell, and hydrogen gas storage tanks. Production facility components will require excavation for installation of concrete foundations or trenching for underground components. Any overhead equipment will consist of cables for energy distribution. Any grading associated with the project will be reduced to the maximum extent practicable to minimize or eliminate site impacts.
