Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

Submitted by ryan_hathaway@… on

March 16th government to government consultation with the Zuni Tribe was canceled due to the coronavirus fears. BLM has asked the Tribe about consulting in via video or conference call under the circumstances but the Tribe wants a face to face meeting.

The Tribe is also a cooperating agency on the project and has been sent all NEPA documents for review and comment.

The NM SHPO is encouraging BLM to work with the Tribe in anticipation of things possibly “opening up”.  The SHPO and BLM are the only required signatories.
