DPEA Addressing Air Force Research Laboratory Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Activities
AFRL has been conducting RDT&E activities on Kirtland AFB since the 1960s.
There are many existing Environmental Assessments and EIAP documents, including Air Force
Form 813s, spanning the decades from 1970 to present day. The Proposed Action consolidates
all current and proposed future AFRL RDT&E activities into one Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (PEA), ensuring these activities can continue to occur on Kirtland AFB into the future.
Two units of AFRL conduct these activities, ARFL's Directed Energy Directorate (AFRL/RD) and
AFRL's Space Vehicle Directorate (AFRL/RV).
AFRL/RD develops directed energy weapons (including high energy lasers, high-power
microwave, and high-power electromagnetic system prototypes) to counter, disable, and attack
adversary sources. Equipment, components, and designs for warfighter weapons are created and
tested in laboratories across Kirtland AFB before being tested outdoors at the High Energy
Research and Technology Facility (HERTF)/HERTF Canyon, Frustration Canyon, Starfire Optical
Range/1-Mile and 2-Mile sites, and Outdoor Laser Propagation and Firing Area to evaluate
performance of the new technology.
AFRL/RV ensures that the United States and its allies maintain space superiority by developing
and transitioning technologies that provide space-based capabilities to the nation. Equipment,
components, and designs for space-based technologies are created in laboratories across
Kirtland AFB and then tested outdoors at the Skywave Technologies Laboratory, Improved Solar
Observing Optical Network, and South Park Antenna Field.
US82 is in need of repairing dangerous rockfall locations - NMDOT is working on data collections to review low, moderate, and high priority areas. Will overlap critical habitat, t&e species, with rockfall hazard classifications. No current timeline on the project - still in data acquisition phase.
The Pueblo of Isleta is proposing to install sidewalks and ADA ramps for the Pickle Heights community in the Pueblo of Isleta, Bernalillo County, New Mexico. All installations will occur within the existing ROW
This is purely for scoping potential environmental issues along the Interstate 10 corridor, restricted to the State of New Mexico. We are looking for high level issues before breaking the project down further. This is an overall broad look on I-10 of the things you might typically expect to see out there? Historic of course, various types of endangered species, maybe there are some hot spots. Ultimately, the parts will be scoped as individual projects across several packages with culvert replacements or upgrades built geographically along the corridor.
Rescinding the Definition of Harm Under the Endangered Species Act
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) (collectively referred to as the Services or we) are proposing to rescind the regulatory definition of ''harm'' in our Endangered Species Act (ESA or the Act) regulations. The existing regulatory definition of ''harm,'' which includes habitat modification, runs contrary to the best meaning of the statutory term ''take.'' We are undertaking this change to adhere to the single, best meaning of the ESA.
Fish/Wildlife Conservation/Management, Proposed Rulemaking, Threatened or Endangered Species
loan to provide long-term financing for the rehabilitation and refurbishment of a historic hotel property located in Taos, New Mexico. The investment will allow for the renovation of the existing eight-building property along with new hotel additions that include a meeting and conference space, co-workspace, a pool and hot tub, bar and café, a full-service restaurant, climbing wall, and 1.75 acres of green space
The proposed project is to take place in Caballo, New Mexico. The proposed project is a solar facility. We will be using New Mexico's Environmental Review Tool to identify all threatened, endangered, and other species of special concern to prepare to field surveys to avoid take or disturbance of these species and alter proposed project plans as fit. Wetlands will also be surveyed for during on-site assessments, all wetlands and wetland habitat will be offset if the proposed project area overlaps these features.
Elevated Solar Structure - Deming High School - Sunshire DC, LLC
unshire DC, LLC has reapplied for the REAP FB RES grant for installation of a 734.085 kW array in the parking lot adjacent to the Deming High School. The project will consist of (1796) VSUN 410 watt panels (or equal) on Powers Super Purlin II beam-based carport mounted racking (or equal) installed at a 10° tilt to the horizon with a 180° azimuth at 1300 S. Iron St, Deming, NM. Trenching will occur on the paved parking lot from PV system to Electrical Transformer located on the premise.
Sunshire DC, LLC has reapplied for the REAP FarmBill RES grant for installation of a 252.6kW array in the parking lot adjacent to the Ruben Torrez Elementary School. The project will consist of (616) VSUN 410 watt panels (or equal) on Powers Super Purlin II beam-based carport mounted racking (or equal) installed at a 10° tilt to the horizon with a 180° azimuth at 1910 8th St., Deming, NM 88030. Trenching will occur on the paved parking lot from PV system to Electrical Transformer located on the premise.
The project is a potential solar farm in Curry/Roosevelt Counties in New Mexico. T&E and SOC surveys in the search area. Wetland work will also be conducted for possible wetlands. Timing of the project is unscheduled. Based upon survey findings the location of the project may be adjusted or changed. Ground disturbance for surveys will be minimal, wetland delineation surveys include small soil pits with a shovel. Panels will be placed to cause least disturbance to the area and avoid all wetland and wildlife habitat and T&E and SOC.
Solar project with a transmission line, potential BESS station, laydown yard, roads, racking, transformers, maintenance buildings, invertors, etc. Wildlife surveys will be conducted - raptor/eagle and any SGCN. Mitigation efforts like stormwater, erosion, and sediment control plans will be implemented
The project involves planting 200 seedlings at Mark Armijo Academy with a nonprofit group to increase green space on educational facilities. This report is being used to demonstrate what resources are available for ground disturbing projects as a portion of training for these schools.
