Carson National Forest — Project Detail

The Forest Service proposes to issue special use authorizations to Kit Carson Electric Cooperative for installation, operation, and maintenance of new fiber‑optic telecommunications lines within existing electric utility rights‑of‑way on the Carson and Santa Fe National Forests.

The Forest Service proposes vegetation and fuel reduction treatments on up to 104,822 acres and prescribed fire treatments on up to 382,874 non-wilderness acres of NFS lands on the Camino Real and Questa Ranger Districts.

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 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

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.
