Our client proposes to construct a 180-foot tall self-support telecommunications tower with associated ground equipment within a 75-foot by 75-foot proposed compound lease area. A proposed 20-foot-wide access and utility easement will extend approximately 190 feet west from the lease area towards State Highway 252. An 8-foot utility easement will extend north toward the 20-foot easement on the southwest corner of the lease area. An 8-foot utility easement will extend south from the access easement approximately 40 feet. The project is in the vicinity of agriculture and residential land.
The Ghost Ranch conservation easement represents a unique opportunity to permanently protect approximately 4,225 acres of agricultural, natural habitat and biological, scenic open space, source water and watershed, historic and cultural, outdoor and recreation conservation values in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. The NHCA Ghost Ranch project will protect a critical inholding surrounded by two National Forests and Abiquiú Lake by restricting development on all of Ghost Ranch's waterfront and shortgrass prairie habitat. This initial phase of a NHCA conservation easement as proposed will be leveraged by future the future conservation of roughly 5,700 acres as conservation easements, and eventually transferring 13,500 acres to the Santa Fe and Carson National Forests and Bureau of Reclamation's Abiquiú Lake, to completely and permanently protect the 20,000-acre Ghost Ranch.
Installation of a fiber optic system consisting of aerial lines strung on existing utility poles and buried lines. Buried lines will be trenched at a depth of 36". The project will be placed within a 10-foot-wide ROW. Construction is expected 4th quarter 2025 or 1st quarter 2026.
This is a preliminary investigation for the Lynch to Medanos 115kV project. This would be a new transmission line primarily on BLM lands within the Carlsbad Field Office area. The Project consists of approximately 19 miles of new 115-kV transmission line between the Lynch Substation in Lea County, New Mexico, and the Medanos Substation in Eddy County, New Mexico. The transmission line will be constructed using monopole steel structures with concrete foundations. No additional information is available at this time.
The Site consists of an approximately 889-square-foot area affected by a release of contaminated material associated with oil and gas development activities. Remediation will involve the mechanical removal of contaminated soil using a backhoe or trackhoe. Following excavation, clean, locally sourced topsoil will be used to backfill the area. The Site will then be reseeded with a Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-approved seed mix.
Ensolum has reviewed the Information for Planning an Consultation on October 20,2025. The report generated revealed that the Site has no potential critical habitat. One threatened or Endangered bird (Piping Plover) has the potential of being present at the Site. Remediation activities will stop immediately if this bird is discovered on the Site.
One insect (Monarch Butterfly) has the potential of being at the Site. An inspection of the site revealed that no milkweed species are present at the site of planned activities.
Road and 12" water line across BLM lands. Location is approximate. For scoping purposes only. Files and photos are not available for upload. I don't know what else you want from me, I just need a species list.

Class I Records Search of the New Mexico Cultural Resource Information Systems (NMCRIS) for a listing of documented archaeological surveys and sites/cultural resources 2. US Fish and Wildlife Service Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) for listed Threatened and Endangered Species and Critical Habitat 3. New Mexico Environmental Review Tool (NMERT), Biota Information System of New Mexico (BISON-M) and the New Mexico Rare Plants Technical Council (NMRPTC) for Threatened and Endangered Species 4. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) for soil conditions, hydric ranking, and erosion hazards 5. National Wetland Inventory (NWI) for identification of wetlands and riparian area 6. Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium for Land Cover Classification 7. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for flood and extreme weather risk information 8. New Mexico Wildfire Risk Analysis Portal (NM WRAP) to indicate risk of grass fires 9. US Geological Survey (USGS) Seismic Hazard Model Maps for earthquake and seismic hazards
The Synergia Ranch conservation easement will protect ~111.408 acres of grassland/upland habitat, as well as a 6-acre irrigated orchard. Located just 20 minutes from Santa Fe, this project will protect agricultural, natural habitat and biological, source water and watershed, and scenic open space conservation values.
Draft EA - Regina Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association Water System Improvements Project- Phase 3: Naranjo Creek Road
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), in cooperation with Regina Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association (MDWCA) has completed a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Regina Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association Water System Improvements Project- Phase 3: Naranjo Creek Road, Regina, Sandoval County, New Mexico. The Draft EA evaluates alternatives for water system improvements. The project is located approximately 8.3 miles north of Cuba, New Mexico, and approximately 2.7 miles south of Regina, in Sandoval County, New Mexico; water system improvements are proposed along Naranjo Creek Road. The proposed project would remedy deficiencies in the existing water system along approximately 14,000 linear feet of Naranjo Creek Road. The project would replace existing 2-inch waterline with 6-inch waterline including all appurtenances and replacement of customer meters. The proposed project would address service and sanitary deficiencies, as well allow the Regina MDWCA to provide a minimum of 250 gallon per minute for a period of two hours for its users to qualify for Public Protection Classification Class 8 for fire protection. Construction of the proposed project is planned to take place between April 2026 and October 2026, with an assumption of approximately 100 feet of waterline installed per day.
Town of Taos Kit Carson Park Lighting LWCF Grant Application
The Town of Taos is applying for an LWCF grant to install lighting at Kit Carson Park. The new LED solar powered lights will replace older lights along a walking trail and the northeast parking area.
