Paduca Breaks CGF Amendment The project includes the construction of a 0.3-acre site expansion with the following equipment: flares and piping. The 1st step of the surface site construction would consists of preparing the surface site. The staked site would then be cleared and graded to provide a smooth and even work surface using dozers and other heavy equipment. The next step involves assembling the flares and associated piping on the site. The final step involves testing the pipeline with water (hydrostatic testing) and connecting it to the equipment. The pipe is tested to a pressure higher than what it will be operated at on a day-to-day basis. Oil and Gas Pipeline 2022-06-14 public_comment_letter_NMERT-1854.pdf

Santa Clara Pueblo The Santa Clara Pueblo (SCP) in coordination with the Federal Highway administration (FHWA) is proposing to improve several streets and roads on SCP tribal lands. Environmental documentation is anticipated to cover all segments of roadway (above table) on one environmental document. No separate documentation is anticipated for each segment of road. The project would require the use of federal Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) funds to complete construction which would require the completion of an FHWA-compliant Categorical Exclusion (CatEx). Additionally, new right-of-way (ROW) may be needed for portions of the project which is expected to require the completion of an environmental assessment (EA) and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Southwest Region, Northern Pueblos Agency approval to establish the new ROW on Tribal lands. The approval for use of federal funds and ROW acquisition on tribal lands requires compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The project activities would not involve work within the State Route (SR) 30 right-of-way (ROW). Therefore, no New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) encroachment permit is anticipated to be necessary. Geotechnical work will be necessary. However, no separate geotechnical clearances are included in this scope and fee. The environmental documentation will need to meet NMDOT, FHWA, and BIA Southwest Region standards. Logan Simpson's assistance has been requested to prepare an EA, CatEx, and associated technical resource documents necessary for NEPA compliance. The following Scope of Work tasks will be undertaken by Logan Simpson. Any relevant assumptions are provided in the individual task descriptions.
