Carson National Forest — Project Detail

The Carson National Forest has received an application to issue NMDOT a stockpile permit to manage the debris flows along Highway 38.

Abandoned mines occur at several locations on the Carson National Forest (CAF). These man- made features may pose a hazard to the safety of the public, Forest Service personnel and wildlife. The goal of this project is to address public safety hazards associated with unsecured mine features.

The purpose of this project is to provide safe, adequate access to private land by crossing a short section of National Forest System Land. The Forest will authorize an existing route for the proponenet, which minimizes environmental effects.

The proposed action for this project is to issue a 5 year special use permit for the survey, collection and documentation of fossils.

The proposal includes a request for a special use permit to build a water stroage tank on his property. Currently, the location for the tank has two relic Forest Servie fire lanes.

The Carson is proposing to construct an approximately 11-mile unpaved multi-use pathway and associated infrastructure (trailheads, bridges, parking access points, etc.) between the Village of Questa and the Town of Red River communities.

The Rio de Las Trampas Land Grant is requesting a special use permit to utilize an approximately 12 acre parcel located on USFS lands. The Land Grant is planning to use the area as a biomass processing facility site. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/rscti9aifirrwmr38vh3irvt4ytnm5sz

The proposed action is to rehabilitate the El Valle Fire footprint to reduce ongoing impacts to the communities and values downhill and downstream. Treatments will reduce hillslope and channel erosion, and sedimentation.

This project proposal includes construction and inclusion of crag trails and a reroute of a recreation trail on the El Rito Ranger District.

The 83,000 Taos Canyon Forest and Watershed Restoration project would reduce fuel loading and restore forest structure, composition, and spatial distribution to maintain watersheds that are resilient to fire and protect adjacent communities.

The FS has recieved a proposal to install a buried 4-inch diameter natural gas distribution pipeline adjacent to highway 518 from Talpa to Pot Creek and would require the Forest to issue a new Special Use Authorization for construction & maintenance

Red Rocks Oil and Gas LLC is proposing to construct, operate, and ultimately abandon and reclaim, a natural gas well pad, water and gas pipeline within an existing pipeline corridor, and associated facilities on the Jicarilla Ranger District

Coleman proposes to drill, complete, operate, maintain, and eventually reclaim and plug a natural gas well (Carson 32-5-21 #1H) on the existing Quintana Mesa Com Pad.

This projectis needed to provide safe and reasonable access and will contribute to the social and economic sustainability of local communities. The reroutes of NFS roads 91 and 178D will be approximately 0.7 miles in length combined.

Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort has submitted a proposal to replace the existing Lift 3, construct a new skier services deck and composting toilets, and modernize snowmaking infrastructure for the Lift 3 terrain pod.

The Carson National Forest is proposing improve both sites for use by adding fencing, replacing existing vault toilets, installing picnic tables, installing over sized fire rings and improving driveways and parking areas.

Harvest Four Corners, LLC (Harvest) and LOGOS Operating, LLC (LOGOS) propose to construct and operate respective pipelines and associated facilities within an existing pipeline corridor. Also, LOGOS proposes to drill two natural gas wells.

Taos Ski Valley proposes a new gondola, on-mountain restaurant, water storage, booster station, snowmaking pipe, Nordic and snowshoe trails, a hiking trail and a support facility. Replacing Lifts 2, 8, and a relocated Whistlestop Cafe are proposed.

Robert L. Bayless, Producer LLC proposes to construct and operate a natural gas and water pipeline on the Jicarilla Ranger District. This project will facilitate initial development of the La Jara Mancos Unit (Unit No. NMNM105770971).

The Forest Service is proposing to approve an application for a special use authorization, submitted by WFC. The special use authorization would allow WFC to operate and maintain an existing natural gas pipeline and associated infrastructure system.

LOGOS Resources II, LLC proposes to construct, drill, and produce the Credence COM #1H natural gas well.

To provide important services to the communities we serve, the Carson National Forest has identified 22 expired or expiring special use authorizations for review and re-authorization.

Coleman Oil and Gas, Inc. proposes to construct, drill, produce, and maintain a natural gas well location, with two wells, and associated ancillary facilities.

LOGOS Resources II, LLC proposes to construct a pipeline compressor site and a pipeline receiver site to support their existing pipeline gathering system.

Coleman Oil and Gas, Inc. proposes to construct, drill, produce, and maintain three natural gas well locations and associated ancillary facilities.

San Juan Resources, Inc. proposes to construct, drill, produce, and maintain two natural gas well locations and associated ancillary facilities.

Coleman Oil and Gas, Inc. proposes to construct, drill, produce, and maintain a natural gas well location, with two wells, and associated ancillary facilities.

Southland proposes to construct, drill, maintain, and produce two natural gas well locations along with a water retention pond, water pipeline, and gas pipeline. Each well location would contain sixteen individual wells.

Bayless proposes to construct, drill, maintain, and produce a natural gas well location and associated ancillary facilities. The well location would contain 8 individual wells with the potential for 8 additional future wells on the well pad.
