Southline Transmission Line Project
The Southline Transmission Line Project consists of two primary sections: 1) New Build and 2) Upgrade. The New Build section will include a new double-circuit 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line that will start at the Afton Generating Station, located approximately 12 miles southwest of Las Cruces, New Mexico, and travels 219.4 miles west along a 200-foot-wide right-of-way (ROW) to the Apache Generating Station located nearly 12 miles to the southwest of Willcox, Arizona. For the Upgrade section, the existing Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) 115-kV transmission lines will be upgraded to a double-circuit 230-kV transmission lines from the Apache Generating Station that travels 56.2 miles west along a 150-foot-wide ROW to the Vail Substation in Tucson, Arizona. The project previously had a FEIS and BO; however, the project has changed some and has new ownership (Grid United is the current owner). Therefore, SWCA is investigating the need for reinitiation of Section 7 Consultation with the USFWS, including (1) if any new impacts to species previously conducted; (2) new effects to newly listed species and/or critical habitats; or (3) any new candidate, proposed species, or proposed critical habitats need to be addressed. The BLM is the lead federal agency on the New Build portion and WAPA is the lead federal agency on the Upgrade portion.
Navajo Lake State Park Riparian Restoration/Management Plan
Design Office (DO) is assisting New Mexico State Parks (NMSP)with the development of the Navajo Lake State Park Master Plan. The project area is shown below and includes a 4,566-acre portion of the Navajo Lake State Park along the San Juan River Corridor, downstream of Navajo Dam. The corridor is popular for fishing and recreation and includes 4.3 miles of Special Trout Waters (known as Red Chili Waters).
In November 2022, the Design Office (DO) team (which included Otak and MASS Design) prepared a Draft Existing Conditions and Issues report. Other early consulting support was provided by WestLand Resources (from Tucson, AZ) and reportedly included habitat and cultural surveys (not yet reviewed by Biohabitats). Since that time, DO has been involved in designing improvements in two locations -Texas Hole Day Use Area and Crusher Hole Day Use and Campground Area. The Crusher Hole area has identified invasive species issues (Tamarisk) and the Texas Hole area includes a sediment retention basin which was identified in 2022 as needing long-term planning to address sediment management and a potential strategy for upstream restoration.

Arevon Energy (Arevon) to support the development of the TG16 Solar and Storage Project (Project) a 371MWac PV and 371MWac BESS project located in Socorro County, New Mexico. We understand the challenges associated with a project of this type and know that ERM is the right partner for the job to reach a December 30, 2030 Commercial Operation Date (COD). ERM's team structure and approach have been tailored to address critical success factors, such as proposing a local New Mexico team of relevant specialists and permitted biologists and a management team that are prepared to prioritize this effort. We are excited to have the opportunity to help Arevon move this project forward with speed and care, and have identified the following ways we can bring value:
