Exmoor 15 CTB 2
The Site consists of an approximately 889-square-foot area affected by a release of contaminated material associated with oil and gas development activities. Remediation will involve the mechanical removal of contaminated soil using a backhoe or trackhoe. Following excavation, clean, locally sourced topsoil will be used to backfill the area. The Site will then be reseeded with a Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-approved seed mix.
Ensolum has reviewed the Information for Planning an Consultation on October 20,2025. The report generated revealed that the Site has no potential critical habitat. One threatened or Endangered bird (Piping Plover) has the potential of being present at the Site. Remediation activities will stop immediately if this bird is discovered on the Site.
One insect (Monarch Butterfly) has the potential of being at the Site. An inspection of the site revealed that no milkweed species are present at the site of planned activities.
Road and 12" water line across BLM lands. Location is approximate. For scoping purposes only. Files and photos are not available for upload. I don't know what else you want from me, I just need a species list.
The Property, known as the Lost Draw Ranch Conservation Bank, consists of approximately 4,319 acres of deeded land located in Roosevelt County, New Mexico. It lies in southeastern New Mexico, between the town of Milnesand and the Texas border, approximately seven miles east of the intersection of NM 206 and NM 262.
This project is solely to conduct a desktop evaluation of existing environmental conditions for a proposed work along US Highway 70 from Las Cruces to Organ. This report includes the findings for the parcel from the following resources: 1. Class I Records Search of the New Mexico Cultural Resource Information Systems (NMCRIS) for a listing of documented archaeological surveys and sites/cultural resources 2. US Fish and Wildlife Service Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) for listed Threatened and Endangered Species and Critical Habitat 3. New Mexico Environmental Review Tool (NMERT), Biota Information System of New Mexico (BISON-M) and the New Mexico Rare Plants Technical Council (NMRPTC) for Threatened and Endangered Species 4. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) for soil conditions, hydric ranking, and erosion hazards 5. National Wetland Inventory (NWI) for identification of wetlands and riparian area 6. Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium for Land Cover Classification 7. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for flood and extreme weather risk information 8. New Mexico Wildfire Risk Analysis Portal (NM WRAP) to indicate risk of grass fires 9. US Geological Survey (USGS) Seismic Hazard Model Maps for earthquake and seismic hazards
The Synergia Ranch conservation easement will protect ~111.408 acres of grassland/upland habitat, as well as a 6-acre irrigated orchard. Located just 20 minutes from Santa Fe, this project will protect agricultural, natural habitat and biological, source water and watershed, and scenic open space conservation values.
Draft EA - Regina Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association Water System Improvements Project- Phase 3: Naranjo Creek Road
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), in cooperation with Regina Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association (MDWCA) has completed a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Regina Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association Water System Improvements Project- Phase 3: Naranjo Creek Road, Regina, Sandoval County, New Mexico. The Draft EA evaluates alternatives for water system improvements. The project is located approximately 8.3 miles north of Cuba, New Mexico, and approximately 2.7 miles south of Regina, in Sandoval County, New Mexico; water system improvements are proposed along Naranjo Creek Road. The proposed project would remedy deficiencies in the existing water system along approximately 14,000 linear feet of Naranjo Creek Road. The project would replace existing 2-inch waterline with 6-inch waterline including all appurtenances and replacement of customer meters. The proposed project would address service and sanitary deficiencies, as well allow the Regina MDWCA to provide a minimum of 250 gallon per minute for a period of two hours for its users to qualify for Public Protection Classification Class 8 for fire protection. Construction of the proposed project is planned to take place between April 2026 and October 2026, with an assumption of approximately 100 feet of waterline installed per day.
Town of Taos Kit Carson Park Lighting LWCF Grant Application
The Town of Taos is applying for an LWCF grant to install lighting at Kit Carson Park. The new LED solar powered lights will replace older lights along a walking trail and the northeast parking area. The park is located at 211 Paseo del Pueblo Norte. The 33 light poles will be installed in pits 2-3 ft in diameter and 3-4 ft in depth, in locations previously altered and developed for the park. These are solar powered and will not be connected to an electrical system. The project will begin upon grant award and completed within the 3-year grant term.
The purpose of this Environmental Assessment (EA) is to address issues associated with the Hermit's
Peak and Calf Canyon (HPCC) Fires burned area, comprising a total of 167,840-acres, including 33,085
acres of unburned lands that can have heavy post-fire flooding, continued risk of insect and disease
outbreaks, and high fire risk. The need is to make the area safer and provide ecological recovery after
HPCC.
Draft Recovery Plan for the Sacramento Checkerspot Butterfly
This draft recovery plan revision describes the criteria for determining when the Sacramento
Mountains checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas anicia cloudcrofti), hereafter SMCB, should be
considered for reclassification from endangered to threatened and to recovered status under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (ESA). It also lists site-specific actions that will be necessary to meet those criteria, and it provides estimates of the time
and cost required to carry out those measures needed for recovery. Additionally, summary
information on the species' biology and status is included, along with a brief discussion of
factors limiting its populations. A Current Condition Assessment Report (USFWS 2022, Version
1.2), which provides a more detailed accounting of the species' status, biology, and threats, is
available online at the link provided: https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/species/1546. A Recovery
Implementation Strategy (RIS) will be drafted once a final Recovery Plan is completed and will
be updated on a routine basis.
