The Heart of the Gila Property (the "Property") is an approximately 30.081-acre property located in a unique area of the Mogollon Mountains known as Gila Hot Springs, N.M about 40 miles north of Silver City. The Property is comprised of one parcel consisting of 30.081 that is located off NM-15 in Grant County, New Mexico (Map 1) about 30 miles north of the Chino and Cobre Mine complexes, and 35 miles from the Tyrone Mine. The Property is an inholding in the Gila National Forest and falls within the Arizona/New Mexico Mountain ecoregion, with a mixed composition of Madrean Lower Montane woodlands and upper Gila River riparian communities. Elevations range from about 5,500 feet at the southern property boundary to nearly 5,880 feet at the western border in the montane slopes. The property is bisected by a 0.25-mile reach of the West Fork of the Gila River, just before its confluence with the East Fork of the Gila River where it makes a south-westerly turn. There are approximately 3.76 acres of riverine and marsh wetlands with an additional 3.4 acres of riparian habitat within the floodplain and stream braids (National Wetlands Inventory Geodatabase).

Albuquerque Reach Habitat Restoration Project - BOR and NMISC programmatic EA
The New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (NMISC) is proposing to do a multi-phased riparian and floodplain habitat restoration project in the Angostura/Albuquerque reach of the Rio Grande between River Miles 194 and 172.5. The project is located on land administered by the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District and the Bureau of Reclamation, the lead federal agency. The project consists of 80 separate habitat restoration project areas on the banks of the Rio Grande and on select islands within the channel, as well as proposed spoils and access road plans, starting on the north side of the Alameda Bridge (State Road 528) and ending on the south side of the I-25 bridge in the South Valley. The project would also provide maintenance and adaptive management of existing and newly constructed habitat restoration areas. The purpose of the project is to benefit the Rio Grande silvery minnow (Hybognathus amarus) and other federally listed species that occur in the project area. The Bureau of Reclamation has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) document to analyze potential impacts associated with the proposed project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508 process. This notice announces the availability of the EA for public review and a 30-day public comment period from February 24 to March 25, 2025. The EA can be found on the Bureau of Reclamation's website at https://www.usbr.gov/uc/DocLibrary/ea.html.
