This document is a utility permit application from the Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority to the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) for installing a water pipeline facility within the state highway right-of-way. The project involves installing 5,250 linear feet of waterline parallel to Highway 108, with a minimum depth of 4 feet and approximately 20 feet wide, open-cut installation. The permit application is for a southbound right-of-way installation in Curry County, specifically located on the west side of Highway 108, about 10 feet from the right-of-way line. The project area is situated in Township 2N, Range 37E, Section 10, and is referenced on the Farewell, TX 2022 USGS quadrangle map.

The project is funded privately through the Bureau of Reclamation and does not require a cultural resource or environmental survey. The utility permit is valid for 25 years and requires the submission of "as-built" horizontal and vertical location information in hard copy and electronic format. The installation must comply with NMDOT utility manual regulations, and the permit will become void if not commenced within six months of issuance. The project involves installing waterline facilities using methods and machinery that minimize ground disturbance, with the work to be performed in strict accordance with NMDOT engineering and safety standards.
