Environmental Assessment for the Pojoaque Judicial Complex Expansion Project, Santa Fe County, New Mexico Environmental Assessment for the Pojoaque Judicial Complex Expansion Project, Santa Fe County, New Mexico Prepared for: Karley Steffen Pojoaque Tribal Police Department 58 Cities of Gold Road, Suite 6 Santa Fe, NM 87506 and Christina Cartier Pueblo of Pojoaque 2 Petroglyph Circle Santa Fe, NM 87506 For the Department of Justice Prepared by: 4374 Alexander Blvd. NE Albuquerque, NM 87107 March 2020 Project #44619-382000A.01 Environmental Assessment for the Pojoaque Judicial Complex Expansion Project Pojoaque Pueblo of Pojoaque EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared to address the effects of the award listed below, which pertains to the expansion project for the Pueblo of Pojoaque (Pueblo) Tribal Police Department (PPD) in the Pueblo’s Judicial Complex, Santa Fe County, New Mexico. The EA has been prepared to ensure that the activities in the following award comply with Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA, 40 CPR Parts 1500 to 1508, and Appendix D of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) 28 CFR, Part 61. Project Name: Pueblo of Pojoaque Judicial Complex Expansion Project Grant Program: U.S. Department of Justice office of Justice Programs (DOJ) Grant #: 2017-C4-BX-0043 Month/Year: October 1, 2017 PURPOSES AND NEED OF THE PROPOSED ACTION Due to increases in population, both tribal members and other community members, and increased business activity in the surrounding area, the current spaces occupied by PPD and Social Services are inadequate for the existing needs of the departments (PPD 2019). Therefore, expansion of the Pueblo Judicial Complex is proposed to accommodate for the expansion of the community. PROPOSED ACTION ALTERNATIVE The proposed action is to utilize federal funding for the PPD expansion project, which would include a 3,651 square foot addition, to be constructed next to the existing Judicial Complex. This structure would be used to accommodate offices, storage needs, and address inadequate facilities for Officers, domestic abuse victims, incarceration cases, in addition to improving security of the facility’s equipment and evidence stored there. NO ACTION ALTERNATIVE The no action alternative is included to compare the proposed project's impacts to the baseline conditions. Under the no action alternative DOJ funding would not be granted and the Pueblo would not expand the Judicial Complex building. The PPD would continue to operate out of their current facilities. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES Impacts to the environment due to the proposed action would be negligible to minor and short-term. Long-term socioeconomic impacts are expected to be good, as this project would provide additional jobs, and safety for the community. Construction and operation of the facility under the proposed action would provide additional jobs temporarily, while the Pueblo Judicial Complex is reconfigured. Over the long-term the project would provide safety for the local people, as the population continues to increase and additional employment opportunities expand at the PPD. CONCLUSION There are no significant adverse environmental effects likely from the funding of the proposed improvements to the Pueblo Judicial Complex and the DOJ recommends a Finding of No Significant Impact.

    United States Department of From the Rio to the Sierra: Agriculture Forest Service An Environmental History of Rocky Mountain Research Station the Middle Rio Grande Basin Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-5 Dan Scurlock i Scurlock, Dan. 1998. From the rio to the sierra: An environmental history of the Middle Rio Grande Basin. General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-5. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 440 p. Abstract Various human groups have greatly affected the processes and evolution of Middle Rio Grande Basin ecosystems, especially riparian zones, from A.D. 1540 to the present. Overgrazing, clear-cutting, irrigation farming, fire suppression, intensive hunting, and introduction of exotic plants have combined with droughts and floods to bring about environmental and associated cultural changes in the Basin. As a result of these changes, public laws were passed and agencies created to rectify or mitigate various environmental problems in the region. Although restoration and remedial programs have improved the overall “health” of Basin ecosystems, most old and new environmental problems persist. Keywords: environmental impact, environmental history, historic climate, historic fauna, historic flora, Rio Grande Publisher’s Note The opinions and recommendations expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the USDA Forest Service.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December-2019 i Abstract Edaphic specialization in plants is associated with the development of novel adaptations that frequently lead to speciation, causing unique edaphic environments to be associated with rare and endemic plant species worldwide. These species contribute significantly to global biodiversity, but are especially vulnerable to disturbance and climate change because of their inherently patchy distributions and locally adapted populations. Successful conservation of these species depends upon understanding their habitat requirements and the amounts and distributions of genetic and phenotypic diversity among populations. Little is known about the habitat requirements or

    and head to the cul-du-sac. Pick up the South Bench Trail at the end of the street and head down into Acid Canyon. Pass a short bridge to the right and continue straight through the rocks along the trail. Near the large Acid Canyon Bridge, angle right, cross the bridge, and retrace your steps back to the trailhead. WHITE ROCK CANYON TRAILHEADS F White Rock Canyon White Rock Canyon offers some of the best hiking opportunities in Los Alamos. The canyon is 900 deep feet from the rim to the Rio Grande. The attractions are the river, the springs, the rocks—basalt lavas oozed from the volcanoes of the Caja del Rio Plateau—and the hundreds of petroglyphs that adorn rocks in the canyon. Two trails lead to the river, the Red and Blue Dot trails, and both are steep and rugged. On the edge of White Rock a rim trail offers easy access to views into the canyon. Finding the Trailheads: To reach the Blue Dot Trailhead from the intersection of State Road 4 and Rover Boulevard in White Rock, head east on Rover. In 0.1 miles, turn left onto Meadow Lane. In 0.7 miles, turn left into Overlook Park. Pass by ball fields and turn right onto a paved road marked for the trailhead. For the Red Dot Trail, continue south on State Road 4 from the intersection with Rover. In 0.2 mile, turn left onto Sherwood. Follow Sherwood 0.5 mile to a t-intersection with Piedra Loop. Turn left onto Piedra and find the trailhead on the left in 0.6 mile.
