Submit a Proposal: Invasive Plant Management in Forested Areas Funding from Energy, Minerals & Natural Resources Dept
The New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD), Forestry Division is seeking applications to address management of invasive plants on state, private, and public non-federal lands from Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMAs) where noxious weeds threaten forested acres. This RFP’s primary goal is to increase local capacity to manage and prevent invasions of noxious weeds in forested areas. Projects must emphasize prevention and treatment of invasive plants. Projects must focus on species included in the NM Noxious Weed List (http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/SFD/Publications/documents/weedlist2009_final.pdf). Deadline: December 7, 2012 by 4:00pm
Surface Water Quality Bureau Proposes Withdrawal of the Total Maximum Daily Load(TMDL) for Red River
The New Mexico Environment Department’s (NMED) Surface Water Quality Bureau (SWQB) is inviting the public to comment on the draft “total maximum daily load” (TMDL) withdrawal document for the Red River (Rio Grande to Placer Creek). A TMDL is a planning document that establishes specific goals to meet water quality standards in waterbodies where pollutant limits are exceeded. Due to recent changes to the water quality standards and assessment of available data for the 2012-2014 Clean Water Act 303d/305b Integrated List, SWQB proposes to withdraw the 2006 dissolved aluminum TMDL for Red River (Rio Grande to Placer Creek).
