Zia Pueblo Utility Improvements
The Pueblo of Zia is replacing around 2,700 linear feet of sewer line along Capitol Square Drive. Sections of roadway will be removed to access the sewer main, open trenches will be used to construct the new sewer line. The depth of excavation will be approximately 6-8 feet below the surface; AC pipe will be replaced by a new PVC pipe. All federal and state regulation will be followed, and BMPs will be applied during construction. A cultural resource survey will be conducted on stie by Wilson and Company staff. Consultation will be coordinated with the THPO office of the Pueblo of Zia.
Under the Proposed Action, SSCAFCA would improve and reconstruct Los Montoyas Arroyo to provide future stabilization and limit negative effects from flooding hazards. Improvements will be made starting at Northern Boulevard then traveling southeast along the arroyo until Broadmoor Boulevard is reached. Construction improvements to the arroyo would limit future incision to a maximum of 5 feet and prevent lateral erosion from extending beyond the SSCAFCA right-of-way.
The White Sands Missile Range U.S. Army Garrison has prepared a draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Watershed Resiliency at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico with a draft Finding of No Significant Impact in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). WSMR proposes to restore, replace and mitigate watershed elements impacted by storm events in the southern portion of the installation. Flood control solutions are proposed to be implemented in four impact areas with the priority area around the main cantonment to slow stormwater down using ponding areas and diverting storm flow around existing infrastructure.
The environmental analysis examined potential impacts to valued environmental components such as cultural and natural resources, water resources, infrastructure and human safety. Identified mitigations and best management practices indicate the proposed action can be implemented with a finding of no significant impact. For flood controls to be effective, they need to occur within the 100-year floodplain which produces the need for a finding of no practical alternative based on EO 11988
The project is to identify a preferred alternative route for a section of the proposed new Interstate 27 that would follow US 87 and US 64 from Raton, New Mexico to the Texas state line. This request is to identify sensitive resources that may be avoided during the selection of the preferred I-27 route.
The White Sands Missile Range U.S. Army Garrison has prepared a draft Environmental
Assessment (EA) for Range Road 13 Improvements at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR),
New Mexico with a draft Finding of No Significant Impact in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and 32 CFR Part 651. The proposed action is to rebuild
a 0.75-mile (1.2-km) entrenched segment of Range Road 13. Construction efforts focus on lifting
the roadbed elevation, recontouring drainage ditches, employing measures to move water across
the road to minimize erosion and sedimentation and improving personnel safety.
This project is an alternatives analysis for Tramway Blvd in Albuquerque, NM. It is all desktop analysis ahead of selecting a preferred alternative. Traffice patterns and signaling will be the focus of the analysis. Basic environmental information is also included in the report.
Big Wheel Farm applied for a working capital grant that will expand their market for locally produced stone ground whole wheat flour. They will increase their production at the mill, brand development, market expansion and wider distribution of higher volumes of flour.
NTUA Navajo Nation Tse Bonito FRF Distribution Line Project
The NTUA proposes to construct a distribution line with fiber optic cable in McKinley County, New Mexico on lands managed by the Navajo Nation and lands managed by the State of New Mexico. Project construction would consist of vegetation removal within the ROW; wooden utility pole and line construction; vehicular traffic within the ROW; excavation and backfill for utility pole and guy anchors; and distribution line and fiber optic cable installation. Temporary access roads, material laydown yards, and equipment staging areas will be used during construction, and will be limited to the Project Area. Occasional utility line maintenance will also be required and will result in short-term low intensity increases in traffic within the Project Area. Project activities will be limited to the approximately 6,655-foot long distribution line alignment with a 30-foot right-of-way width. An additional 0.625 mile buffer has been included for analysis to account for potential effects of construction noise on raptors and other special-status avian species.
The project site is located near the City of Elida in Roosevelt County, New Mexico along S Roosevelt Rd AG, S Roosevelt Rd 24, S Roosevelt Road 25, S Roosevelt Rd 26 and S Roosevelt 28. The project will consist of the installation of a total of 16.33 miles of fiber optic cable; 13.14-miles of aerial and 3.19-miles of buried lines. The anticipated ground disturbance of construction activities would be restricted to 5 feet below the ground surface. Fiber optic cable would be installed through a combination of plowing supplemented with trenching and directional boring to avoid impacts. The proposed project area is predominantly rural undeveloped land.
The Property is situated in New Mexico's Southwestern Tablelands Ecoregion, also known as part of the Rolling Plains. Low rainfall, extreme temperatures, broad flat expanses and rough broken terrain shape the diversity and distribution of the plant communities of this region, including shortgrass and midgrass prairies, a few pockets of tallgrass prairie, shinnery oak, mesquite savanna, wooded swales and rough breaks, and riparian areas of plains cottonwood.
The Southwestern Tablelands flank the High Plains with red-hued canyons, mesas, badlands, and dissected river breaks. Unlike most adjacent Great Plains ecological regions, little of the Southwestern Tablelands is in cropland. Much of this region is in sub-humid grassland and semiarid range land. The potential natural vegetation is grama-buffalo grass with some mesquite-buffalo grass in the southeast, juniper-scrub oak-midgrass savanna on escarpment bluffs, and shinnery (midgrass prairie with open low shrubs) along Ute Creek.
The region of New Mexico that encompasses the Property has a dry and cold desert climate, with a mean annual temperature of 67.7 degrees F and mean annual precipitation of 16.44 inches (Western Regional Climate Center, 2016). Precipitation is greatest in the months of July, August, September, and October when monsoonal rains associated with thunderstorms occur in the region. Winter precipitation is associated with Pacific frontal storms.
