MEXICO

Chain of Craters Project Area

Location of Project

The project is located 40 miles Southwest of Grants New Mexico in Township 8N, Range 13W, portions of Sections 29, 30, 31, and 31.

Boundaries of Project Area

The boundaries are identified by orange flagging. Portions of the project area boundary follow a fence line or road, but some of the project boundaries do not follow the fences and roads in the area. The project is an estimated 673 acres in size.

Access

Access is facilitated by State Highway 53, County Road 42, the Cerro Hueco Road and other two track roads.

County Road 42 and the Cerro Hueco road are un-surfaced. Therefore, wet weather could make travel somewhat difficult. Access into the project area will be by foot from the Cerro Hueco Road and other existing two track roads. Work may have to be stopped by the Project Inspector at any time when the roads are wet and excessive rutting within the project area could occur.

Project Purpose The purpose of this project is to remove Piñon and juniper from existing Ponderosa pine stands. The project area has a 40-60% canopy cover with an estimated 20-30% removal prescription. Along the west boundary (fence line) of the unit will be windrows and the rest of the project will be cut, lop and scatter trees (see attached map).

Piñon and Juniper trees within and adjacent to the project area have encroached on grasslands and meadows decreasing overall watershed capabilities, wildlife habitat and forage production. The work to be completed will improve overall ecosystem health and establish a receptive fuel bed which will increase the effectiveness of prescribed fire efforts to meet established ecosystem restoration objectives.

Project Requirements

• No Girdling or Pruning.

• Desired spacing would be a mix of the following three prescriptions:

o Average tree spacing will be 30 feet.

o Retention of 1 small group of healthy trees every 2 acres (approximately 6-10 trees per group) is acceptable, with an average spacing around groups of 50 feet.

o The open swales and canyon bottoms with mostly smaller trees will have all trees less than 8 feet tall removed with up to 5 larger (i.e. mature) healthy trees per acre left uncut.

• Treatment will be done by hand-cutting (chainsaws and other hand equipment).

• Target species are One-seed Juniper (Juniperus monosperma), and Piñon (Pinus edulis).

• When cutting, all unhealthy trees (regardless of size) should be cut first before looking at spacing and leave tree requirements.

• Leave tree preference - 1st Healthy tree, 2nd Larger tree, 3rd Piñon Pine (Pinus edulis).

• Due to stem characteristics of Juniper and Piñon, stem diameter will be measured 6 inches above ground surface on the high side for cutting (DSH-diameter at stump height), not DBH.

• Retain all ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa).

• Leave any healthy (free of mistletoe, etc.) live Juniper 24-inch diameter or greater DSH.

• Leave any healthy (free of mistletoe, etc.) live piñon 16-inch diameter or greater DSH.

• Cut any live Piñon and Juniper tree 1 foot tall or above that do not meet the above criteria for leave trees.

• Cut smaller seedlings and saplings growing under larger leave trees.

• Cut all piñon and juniper trees within 30 feet of power lines and ponderosa pine trees.

• Sever all live limbs and green needles from cut stumps.

• Ponderosa pine will be included when determining average tree spacing in the woodland stand.

• Cut stumps should be 6 inches or less in height.

• If oak motts or mountain mahogany shrubs are greater than 2 feet tall, cut to roughly 50% of their initial height.

o Do not cut shrubs that are 4 inches DRC or greater.

o Cut all pinyon pine, rocky mountain juniper, and one-seed junipers that are less than 6 inches DRC within the oak motts.

• All slash within 30' of fences on the west side of the project area will be hand piled into windrows.

• Windrows will be created 50feet off fence lines. Windrow dimensions will be 6ft H x 6ft W x

40ft L with a minimum of 10ft space between windrows where applicable. Dependent on fuel loading piles may serve as an alternative.

• Piling will be done by hand.

• Windrows shall be constructed in a manner that will allow piles to burn down with minimal

“chunking” (i.e. raking the edges in to maximize consumption).

• Slash within the cutting area will be lopped and scattered through-out the area and will not exceed

24 inches in height.

• All slash will be at least 10 feet from leave trees to minimize crown scorch when slash is burned later.

• Remove cut material 30 feet from structures (example: fences, waters, powerlines), fiber optic

ROW, and ponderosa pine trees.

• No travel on two track roads when soils are saturated by rain or snow; stay on gravel or pavement.

• No cutting in designated areas to protect cultural sites and/or improvements.

Leave Trees

• All Ponderosa Pine except where densities require light thinning.

• Any tree having signs or survey markers.

• Any tree having wildlife nests or cavities.

• All trees along fence lines that have fence wire attached to them.

• Any standing dead tree regardless of species over 10” in diameter.

• Leave all oak over 4” in diameter.

• All Alligator Juniper

Period of Performance Estimated start date is August 19, 2024, with performance time 60 days.

Optional Site Visit: Please contact Pete Rivera (505)-235-6898 or at privera@blm.gov for site visit information no later than Monday August 5, 2024.

Cerro Comadre’ Project Area

Location of Project

Access

Access is facilitated by State Highway 53, County Road 42, the Cerro Americano Road and other two track roads.

County Road 42 and the Cerro Americano road are un-surfaced. Therefore, wet weather could make travel somewhat difficult. Access into the project area will be by foot from the Cerro Americano Road and other existing two track roads.

Project Purpose

Goals for the project include removing hazardous fuels and breaking up the continuity of the canopy to prevent wildfire danger to the community of Zuni Mountain and Oso Ridge subdivision. Slash piles of fuels will be burned when dry by Rio Puerco Field Office fire personnel.

• No cutting of any shrubs or oak trees.

• Desired spacing would be a mix of the following three prescriptions:

o Average tree spacing will be 30 feet.

o Retention of 1 small group of healthy trees every 2 acres (approximately 6-10 trees per group) is acceptable, with an average spacing around groups of 50 feet.

• Treatment will be done by hand-cutting (chainsaws and other hand equipment).

• Target species are One-seed Juniper (Juniperus monosperma), Alligator Juniper, (Juniperus deppeana), and Piñon (Pinus edulis).

• When cutting, all unhealthy trees (regardless of size) should be cut first before looking at spacing and leave tree requirements.

• Leave tree preference - 1st Healthy tree, 2nd Larger tree, 3rd Alligator Juniper (Juniperus deppeana), 4th Piñon Pine (Pinus edulis).

• Due to stem characteristics of Juniper and Piñon, stem diameter will be measured 6 inches above ground surface on the high side for cutting (DSH-diameter at stump height), not DBH.

• Retain all ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa).

• Leave any healthy (free of mistletoe, etc.) live Juniper 24 inch diameter or greater DSH.

• Cut stumps should be 6 inches or less in height.

• Cut and felled material shall be bucked into lengths of 4-5 feet to speed drying.

• Piling will be done by hand.

• Slash piles shall be constructed in a manner that will allow piles to burn down with minimal

“chunking” (i.e. raking the edges in to maximize consumption).

• All cut material 3 inches and larger in diameter will be left out of slash piles to allow for later fuelwood gathering. All limbs < 3 inches in diameter shall be removed from larger cut material.

• All piles will be at least 10 feet from leave trees to minimize crown scorch when slash piles are burned later.

• Remove cut material 30 feet from structures (example: fences, waters, powerlines), fiber optic

• Cut material that is less than 3 inches in diameter will be placed in arroyos and erosion “cuts” located within 1 chain (66 feet) of cut trees to help slow head cutting and soil erosion.

• No travel on two track roads when soils are saturated by rain or snow; stay on gravel or pavement.

• No cutting in designated areas to protect cultural sites and/or improvements.

Estimated start date is August 19, 2024, with performance time 60 days.
