Albuquerque, NM. 172 pp. Arkansas River Shiner and Peppered Chub SSA, October 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES.1 INTRODUCTION (CHAPTER 1) The Arkansas River shiner (Notropis girardi) and peppered chub (Macrhybopsis tetranema) are restricted primarily to the contiguous river segments of the South Canadian River basin spanning eastern New Mexico downstream to eastern Oklahoma (although the peppered chub is less widespread). Both species have experienced substantial declines in distribution and abundance due to habitat destruction and modification from stream dewatering or depletion from diversion of surface water and groundwater pumping, construction of impoundments, and water quality degradation.

This assessment utilized the GridLiance Reliability Criteria in addition to North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and Southwest Power Pool, Inc. (SPP) criteria and protocols to address the unique needs and conditions of the GridLiance system. GridLiance identified reliability needs in the Oklahoma Panhandle and East Central Oklahoma regions, evaluated mitigation options, and estimated construction cost and timing. Through the 2018 Local Planning Process (LPP), GridLiance has selected mitigations to the identified reliability needs over the 10-year study horizon. These recommended mitigations are listed in Table 1 below. GridLiance recommends for budgetary approval approximately $14 million of those upgrades in the next 2 years, as shown in Table 2. The remaining recommended mitigations will undergo continued evaluation in the next LPP study.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff.
