Windstream Communications, LLC/Uniti Group Inc. is requesting a special use authorization to install and maintain 2.2 miles of aerial fiber-optic line on existing powerline poles within the Smokey Bear Ranger District in Lincoln County, New Mexico.

The Lincoln National Forest proposes authorizing Otero County Electric Cooperative (OCEC) through a special use authorization to install approximately one mile of new overhead electric line along NFS Road 552.

Forest Service is proposing post-wildfire treatments within and near the South Fork and Blue 2 Fire burn scars to increase watershed resiliency, promote reforestation, reduce fuel loads, repair recreation sites, and protect human life and property.

The purpose of this project is to reduce hazardous fuels and improve forest health and resiliency and promote species diversity for approx. 3000 acres surrounding Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) of Cloudcroft, NM.

The forest will be developing a proposal to manage the nonnative invasive plants within the Lincoln National Forest's boundaries. Adaptive management would be incorporated into the analysis.

Identify, fell, and dispose hazardous trees on National Forest System lands along roads, along trails, adjacent to facilities (e.g., campgrounds, trailheads, administrative sites, and range infrastructure), and along property boundaries.

Our draft assessment under forest plan revision is now available for review. Information on the revision process is also available on our forest website: https://go.usa.gov/xUSMh
