  • Rio Chama Flow Project Hough Short in Length, the Rio Chama Is Among the Most Regulated Tstretches of River in the West
    Improving River Management for People & Wildlife he Rio Chama is a river of both beauty and significance that rises in the San TJuan Mountains and flows 130 miles to its confluence with the Rio Grande. It runs through spruce and pine-clad slopes, colorful sandstone mesas and rich farming valleys. As the largest tributary in the upper Rio Grande basin, its flows have long supplied water to ancient pueblo people, traditional acequias and modern users, here and throughout the Rio Grande Valley. During the past century, the river became the subject of intensive water development. El Vado (1935), Abiquiu (1963) and Heron (1974) reservoirs captured the abundance of spring runoff to regulate water supplies throughout the year. Legal regimes have thus grown up to govern the division of the Chama’s water, transforming the river from dependency on local and natural forces to one whose flows now respond to a complex of distant administrative mandates. These institutions enforce the on-going alteration of the river’s basic, life-sustaining processes. river’s natural flow regime – its seasonality, Avolume and duration of its rise and fall over time – sustains native biodiversity and the integrity of aquatic and riparian ecosystems. Flow is the key serve to maintain today’s socio-economic benefits? process that supports a healthy river, enabling a river Could they fulfill some of the river’s unrealized to provide valuable services – clean water, flood potential, while also recovering a measure of its lost storage, groundwater recharge, abundant wildlife, values in the El Vado to Abiquiu reach? healthy riparian forests and recreation.

  • PERFORMANCE REPORT CARD Taxation and Revenue Department Third Quarter, Fiscal Year 2019
    Accountability in Government Selected Performance Highlights Third Quarter, Fiscal Year 2019 Background Pursuant to the Accountability in Government Act (AGA), quarterly reports are required of key state agencies, including performance measures and targets approved for each fiscal year by the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) in consultation with LFC, as well as other measures agencies consider important to operations. Throughout March and April LFC analysts conducted a detailed review and evaluation of key agency performance reports and performance measures to identify where improvement is needed in reporting and measuring for results. The review found that most agency performance measures are generally good to very good. There are a few agencies that need more work than others, and now that these have been identified, LFC will be working together with DFA and agencies to improve. On the other hand, LFC found the quality of agency reporting could stand significant improvement. LFC proposes to work together with DFA and agencies to help advance agency reporting and place more focus on the ways in which agencies make use of their data to manage for performance. In this quarter’s packet, a single page overview of each agency’s performance reporting is included behind each report card. The overviews rate agency performance reports and performance measures using the criteria the LFC publishes each year in Volume 1. A copy of the criteria and a spreadsheet with all agencies are located at the end of the packet. Agency performance measures are listed in tables in the body of the report cards, along with a green, yellow, or red rating that indicates how well the agency is progressing in meeting its performance targets.
