Assisted Living and Small Homes The new facility, NMSVH Assisted Living and Small Homes, is a small housing (Green House) concept consisting of six individual living homes/units of approximately 10,000 square feet around courtyards and accessible gardens (Figure 1). The total site will occupy 4.5 acres. Each small unit is to have common areas with a shared kitchen/ pantry and large living and communal spaces including dining, laundry, and meeting rooms surrounded by 12 individual sleeping rooms with private baths. This Green House concept will help to reduce the institutional feel of a typical nursing home and provide a more familiar home-like setting environment, encouraging communication and relaxation. Due to an expedited schedule directed by the NM Governor's office, construction on the project began in July 2022. A biological resources survey was conducted in March 2023 by Souder, Miller & Associates. Military Operations, Proposed Action 2023-03-21 public_comment_letter_NMERT-2484.pdf

Rio Chama Stewards Rio Chama Stewards Project is located in northern Rio Arriba County at the New Mexico/Colorado state line where the Rio Chama enters New Mexico. The private landowners whose property straddles the state line are the first recipients to see Rio Chama water come from its point of inception on the Rio Grande National Forest. The project will consist of forest and watershed health improvement activities aimed at reducing forest density and hazardous fuel loading through thinning over 500 acres of high elevation mixed conifer and riparian forests that have a high to very high threat of severe wildfire and a moderate to high threat of post fire erosion. These stands are overstocked and have exceeded the 200-year fire interval that is typical of this forest type in the southwest. This work aims to continue efforts to return the landscape to a state of natural variability and lower the potential fire severity. Prior treatments have included commercial timber harvests, mechanical mastication, and small-scale aspen regeneration patch cuts. Biomass generated from forest thinning activities in the form of fuelwood will be made available via the Chama Peak Land Alliance community senior fuelwood program in partnership with the Upper Chama Soil and Water Conservation District.
