Trileaf performed an Informal Biological Assessment for the subject site. The purpose is to document whether the proposed undertaking will affect listed or proposed threatened or endangered species, designated critical habitats, wetlands, and migratory birds. A project description, site photographs and topographical site location maps are included in this report. The site is located at R-567 N 13th Rural ST, Artesia, Eddy County, New Mexico 88210, and consists of the construction of a 250-foot Self-Support Communications Tower with an overall height of 270 feet and the installation of associated ground-based equipment within a 75-foot by 75-foot lease area. A proposed access/utility easement will extend west from the lease area for approximately 80 feet before terminating at N 13th Rural Street. The proposed tower compound and access/utility easement will be located in a gravelly lot west of N 13th Rural Street. The proposed structure site is approximately 3,384 feet above mean sea level. The project will be active on the site approximately 6 months from this report's completion date.
The City of Rio Rancho, in cooperation with the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is planning a roadway reconstruction project on Southern Boulevard from 25th Street SE to east of Walsh Street SE in Rio Rancho in Sandoval County, New Mexico. As part of the project, reconstruction to Nicklaus Channel east of Nicklaus Drive is included. This report addresses the improvements to Nicklaus Channel only.
Reconstruction of the Nicklaus Channel at Southern Boulevard, east of Nicklaus Drive. Construction includes retaining walls, Nicklaus Channel box culverts and erosion control.
There are no right-of-way needs for this work. This project includes median removal and reconstruction along Southern Boulevard, as well two new easements both of which are needed for access: new paving south of Southern Boulevard and a new turnout at Walsh Street and Southern Boulevard.
Contractor will hand cut approximately 92.6 acre of Defensible Space Medium density piñon/juniper
immediately on the right of way along Hwy 337 north of the intersection of Hwy 55 and Hwy 337
Between mile marker 1 and 14 as indicated on the attached map to help reduce the fire danger and to
help reduce the danger of hitting Deer and or Elk on the roadway. Area will be thinned to a 10
square foot Basel area. Trees that are growing in the fence line along the project will not be cut.
All Elm, Oak and Alligator Juniper Trees that are Cut will be treated with a cut stump application
of Herbicide to reduce resprouts. Slash will be chipped. Chips will be scattered along the project
area keep all chips approximately 10 feet off the side of the road, side of the road is measured
from the white line. Chip depths are not to exceed an average of 2" deep and no greater than 6" in
any one spot to reduce hazardous fuels No slash will be used as erosion control in the defensible
space. Burning of slash is prohibited. All wood will be stacked and left on project site for
residents. All stumps that are left will be half the diameter of the tree or five inches, whichever
is less. Vehicles, Chippers and UTV's will be used on project site
when access allows. Invasive Tree will be cut and sprayed.
Contractor will hand cut approximately 409 acre of Defensible Space Medium density
piñon/juniper immediately on the right of way along Hwy 55 Between Hwy 41 and the Socorro county
line as indicated on the attached map to help reduce the fire danger and to help reduce the danger
of hitting Deer and or Elk on the roadway. Area will be thinned to a 10 square foot Basel area.

All stumps that are left will be half the diameter of the tree or five inches, whichever is less.
Vehicles, Chippers and UTV's will be used on project site when access allows. This will include removing Salt Cedar and other invasive tree species and spray will be used.
Thinning will be done only in NMDOT right of way.
Installation of sewer lines to 180 existing customers with approximately 20 connections for expansion. A force main and lift station would be constructed, connecting the sewer collection system to the Pecos, NM WWTP
Phase 1 will include a part of the sanitary sewer and part of the treatment plant. The new sewer will connect the community's K-12 school and the local convenience market and food outlet and include a lift station and force main. The school and the store are the two biggest wastewater generators in town. The lift station will pump the town's sewage under the railroad tracks to the treatment plant. The sewer will be modified and extended throughout the town in future phases. The plant will provide temporary wastewater treatment with a headworks and lined lagoon. When the rest of the wastewater treatment plant is built and brought online, in later phases, the lagoon will be re-used to store treated effluent before it is reused. discharge from the plant is not expected until later phases.
The project will include improvements to the existing People's Water Co-op water distribution system, water storage tank rehabilitation, and a new potable water transmission main. The improvements to the existing water distribution system will include the construction of additional water lines between Quarterhorse Road and Hunt & Little Road, the replacement of water service meters, a post hydrant located near the existing water storage tank, and the installation of gate valves & combination air valves throughout the distribution system. The water storage tank rehabilitation will include cleaning, repainting the exterior & interior, and miscellaneous improvements. The new transmission main will connect the existing water distribution system to the City of Deming water distribution system. The transmission main will be constructed along Keeler Road NE (County Road A008) and Highway NM 180. A branch line off the new transmission line will be constructed on the Highway 26 to provide water service to the existing volunteer fire station.
Proposed construction of a new 90' (overall height) monoelm telecommunications tower and installation of associated equipment within an approximate 1600 SQ FT lease area.
The City of Sunland Park will reconstruct Calle Morroco from Calle Diaz to the south
approximately 760 linear feet, including pavement, drivepads, fencing, sidewalk with ADA
accessible wheelchair ramps, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, and waterline replacement. All existing street signs will be replaced where the retro-reflectivity is less than desirable.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is evaluating potential improvements to New Mexico (NM) 264 from the New Mexico/Arizona state line to Yah-Ta-Hey, the trumpet interchange with US 491 (milepost 0 to milepost 16). The proposed project has been assigned NMDOT Control Number (CN) 6101220. The purpose of the project is to improve the condition and life expectancy of the roadway, improve drainage conditions, and improve overall safety. The project is needed because the existing pavement has deteriorated, creating a rough driving surface for vehicles. Additionally, existing drainage structures are in poor condition due to scour and/or sediment fill and the current barrier system (guardrail) does not comply with the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware.
The purpose of this project is to provide Phase II, Final Design Services for the US-64 and US-491, San Juan Bridge and Intersections Improvement Project.
Our client proposes to build a new 60-foot by 60-foot compound and a new guyed tower with an overall height of 205 feet in a new 65-foot by 65-foot lease area. Antennas will be installed at a CL height of 180 feet. Utilities will run approximately 72 feet west towards South Eddy Street and the existing public ROW.
The project is on both sides of US 64 within a 120-foot wide corridor. The Rio Grande crossing is not included. The client is NMDOT. This is a planning effort. They plan to reconstruct the roadway. Likely they will be adding shoulders and improving intersections.
The proposed project will include the development of a 10' x 10' Lease area for a proposed 4' utility H-Frame and a 140' [145' with appurtenances]) tall utility pole tower and associated communications equipment. A proposed 8' wide x ±120' long access easement will extend in a westerly direction from N. World Drive. In addition a separate 5' wide x ±105' long utility easement utility easement will extend in an southerly direction from an existing utility pole and terminate at the proposed access route
