TAP Page 4 Executive Summary The Travel Analysis Process (TAP) is intended to identify opportunities for the national forest transportation system to meet current or future management objectives, and to provide information that allows integration of ecological, social, and economic concerns into future decisions. The TAP is tailored to local situations and landscape/site conditions as identified by forest staffs and coupled with public input. The outcome of the TAP is a set of recommendations for the forest transportation system. A thorough Travel Analysis supports subsequent National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) processes, allowing individual projects to be more site-specific and focused, while still addressing cumulative impacts. Travel planning in the Forest Service was traditionally split between the engineering program for road management and the recreation program for trails management. A recently revised federal regulation now combines the analysis of the motorized use of trails and roads under the Travel Analysis Process (TAP). Summary of Issues Issues were identified using previous public involvement and internal Forest Service input. A full list with details of the Public involvement and collaboration are listed in Appendix C. Issues include: • Environmental impacts from cross-country motor vehicle travel and unauthorized routes • Need to reduce impacts to wildlife habitat, soils, and cultural resources • Insufficient resources for maintenance of the existing system roads • Need to obtain rights-of-way and access • Continued use of unauthorized and decommissioned roads • Increased risk of human-caused fire • Need for access to forest product gathering areas • Trespass onto private lands from National Forest System lands • Recreation user conflicts • Need for access to private lands for landowners Summary of Recommended Actions Responding to Issues • Improve route number signage on roads and clearly sign National Forest System land boundaries to enhance compliance and enforcement. • Rehabilitate areas damaged by cross-country travel and increase efforts to discourage travel on decommissioned and user created roads. • Reduce the number and use of roads in occupied habitat for species-of-concern and species-of- interest. Magdalena Ranger District - TAP Page 5 • Use seasonal restrictions, administrative use restrictions, and reroute roads to reduce impacts to wildlife habitat, soils and cultural resources and decrease maintenance costs. • Develop partnerships with various State, County and local groups to defray maintenance costs. • Emphasize right-of-way acquisition with out-year program planning and current year projects. • Expand public outreach through information and interpretation to improve understanding of resource damage from improper use of off-road and trail driving. • Provide accurate information to users for more informed decisions when choosing routes to travel. Analysis Performed An Interdisciplinary team (IDT) used a risk-benefit assessment to rank roads on risks (wildlife disturbance, impacts on cultural resources, etc) and benefits (access to facilities, recreational opportunities for OHV users, etc.). The categories chosen to rank risk-benefit were based on the generic issue questions from publication FS-643 “Roads Analysis: Informing Decisions about Managing the National Forest Transportation System” as identified in Appendix B and by criteria set by the members of the IDT (Chapter 4 – Step 4) for evaluating the risk or benefit of each road on their specialty. Key Results and Finding Through the travel analysis process, the IDT ranked routes based on their risks to natural and cultural resource and their benefit to recreation use, forest product access, agency and permittee access, vegetation management, and emergency (primarily fire management and suppression) access. • 54 percent of roads in the current system have been assessed to have a greater risk than benefit, and should be considered for decommissioning, closure, conversion to a trail, restricted to administrative use, or mitigated to reduce resource risk. • 48 percent of the current system are roads with high to medium benefits and should be considered for additional maintenance to mitigate resource risk, or used only for administrative needs. • There are 19.6 miles of additional roads (currently not on the system) that have been assessed as being needed to meet administrative, resource

  • Water and Natural Resources Committee
    WATER AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE 2012 INTERIM FINAL REPORT to the FIFTIETH LEGISLATURE SECOND SESSION New Mexico Legislative Council Service Santa Fe, New Mexico December 2012 WATER AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE 2012 REPORT Santa Fe, New Mexico December 2012 2012 LEGISLATIVE INTERIM WATER AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF WORK The committee scheduled five meetings during the 2012 interim that were held in Las Cruces, Truth or Consequences, Ruidoso, Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Continued drought and major wildfires again dominated the news in 2012. Through November 2012, the average precipitation for New Mexico was near the record lowest value, ranking as the second driest since 1895, as severe to exceptional drought continued across New Mexico, and the average temperature for the state for the year was the highest on record. It was also the second consecutive year during which record-breaking wildfires burned across the state. The lightning-sparked Whitewater-Baldy Complex Fire in the Gila Wilderness burned more than 297,845 acres, which surpassed the area burned by the Las Conchas Fire of 2011, making it the largest wildfire in New Mexico state history. The Little Bear Fire was also started by a lightning strike; it burned 44,330 acres and 254 buildings in Lincoln County after quickly growing out of control due to dry, windy conditions. The city of Ruidoso and the surrounding area will need more than $14 million in the coming years to address the effects of that fire on their drinking water supplies alone. At the committee's joint meeting in August with the Courts, Corrections and Justice Committee, the committees reviewed several legal issues of concern to both committees, including the state's suit against the federal Bureau of Reclamation on its administration of Rio Grande Project water, implementation of the Pecos River Settlement, the status of ongoing adjudications and the need for spaceport liability legislation.

  • Butch Cassidy Roamed Incognito in Southwest New Mexico
    Nancy Coggeshall I For The New Mexican Hideout in the Gila Butch Cassidy roamed incognito in southwest New Mexico. Hideout in the Gila utch Cassidy’s presence in southwestern New Mexico is barely noted today. Notorious for his successful bank Butch Cassidy roamed and train robberies at the turn of the 20th century, incognito in southwest Cassidy was idealized and idolized as a “gentleman out- New Mexico wilderness Blaw” and leader of the Wild Bunch. He and various members of the • gang worked incognito at the WS Ranch — set between Arizona’s Blue Range and San Carlos Apache Reservation to the west and the Nancy Coggeshall rugged Mogollon Mountains to the east — from February 1899 For The New Mexican until May 1900. Descendants of pioneers and ranchers acquainted with Cassidy tell stories about the man their ancestors knew as “Jim Lowe.” Nancy Thomas grew up hearing from her grandfather Clarence Tipton and others that Cassidy was a “man of his word.” Tipton was the foreman at the WS immediately before Cassidy’s arrival. The ranch sits at the southern end of the Outlaw Trail, a string of accommodating ranches and Wild Bunch hideouts stretching from Montana and the Canadian border into Mexico. The country surrounding the WS Ranch is forbidding; volcanic terrain cleft with precipitously angled, crenelated canyon walls defies access. A “pretty hard layout,” local old-timer Robert Bell told Lou Blachly, whose collection of interviews with pioneers — conducted PROMIENT PLACES - between 1942 and 1953 — are housed at the University of New OUTLAW TRAIL Mexico. What better place to dodge the law? 1.
