Andrew Archuleta
Module 4: Management and Administration Speaker
Andrew is currently the Field Manager for the San Luis Valley Field Office (SLVFO), a Service First unit working closely with the FS, USFWS, and NPS. SLVFO staff are all collocated at three separate FS offices across the SLV. Prior to October 2011, the SLVFO and the RGNF were a dual-delegated unit with all line-officers having BLM and FS delegated authority. From August 2007-September 2012, Andrew served as the FS Saguache District Ranger and the BLM Saguache Field Office Manager, supervising a mixed staff of BLM and FS employees and responsible for both FS and BLM resources. During that time, the SLV Interagency Fire Organization was established made up of FS, BLM, FWS, NPS, and Colorado State Forest Service. From 2002-2007, Andrew worked for the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest and Pawnee National Grasslands as a Program Manager and On Scene Coordinator for the Abandoned Mine Lands Program. He worked collaboratively with multiple EPA programs, FWS, state agencies, local watershed groups, and mining companies to implement mine waste removal actions. This conglomeration of entities was awarded the 2006 EPA National Notable Achievement Award for Cross-Program Land Revitalization (Service First in my view). Andrew started his Federal career with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, primarily as the Environmental Contaminants Specialist for the Colorado Field Office. During that time the Field Office undertook multiple collaborative efforts with other Federal, State, and local entities. Prior to the Service First MOU, Andrew developed Interagency Agreements to represent the FS and BLM in several Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration projects (Leadville – Upper Arkansas River, and Summitville –Alamosa River). Both projects are on-going today and the FWS continues to represent all three agencies under up-dated Service First Agreements.
