Santa Fe National Forest
The Forest Service follows NEPA regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Under this rule, Forest Service officials determine which proposed projects are shared for public input.
The agency no longer issues a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA) report. Below is the current list of proposed projects available for review—your opportunity to learn more, share feedback, and stay engaged in decisions that shape the future of our public lands.
NNSA proposes to construct and operate a 115 kV transmission line on the Santa Fe NF (SFNF) to meet anticipated power needs at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. This project includes amending the SFNF Land Management Plan under 36 CFR 219 Regs
To restore the frequent-fire forests by modifying the arrangement of forest stands, openings, and interspaces in order to improve the potential for stand regeneration and offset the risk of forest type loss due to natural success an wildfire.
The City of Santa Fe is proposing a project to implement the NM OSE Permit (SP-4842-RFP) for the re-use of San Juan-Chama Project (SJCP) water by constructing an 18-mile long pipeline, across BLM and NFS lands, to convey unconsumed reclaimed SJCP water from the City’s PRWRF to the Rio Grande River.
Repair/reconstruction of allotment and boundary fences damaged by fire on the Fisher Hill (2 mi), El Solitario (11 mi), and Rosilla (3.5 mi) Allotments; hazard tree mitigation on Forest Service lands to protect the new fences.
