DEMING – The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has told a federal court in New Mexico that it “intends to withdraw” its decision to allow the development of a dolomite mine on public land in the Florida Mountains south of Deming, New Mexico. A Motion for Stay of All Proceedings in Case Number 2:20-cv-00924, filed January 11, 2021, states that a new decision will be issued at some point in 2021, according to the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance.
American Magnesium has sought approval to mine the dolomite, believing it contains magnesium that could be extracted and sold, since early 2017. It originally proposed to transport the dolomite several miles across the city on a conveyor belt to a production facility proposed for the north side of Deming, but later conceded that the rock would need to be transported on trucks, at an estimated 92 daily trips.

Engineering company Telesto Solutions created the final design for the soon-to-be-built permanent Upper Gila Irrigation Association diversion, plans for which have been in the works for nearly a decade. The design, along with a preliminary design for the Fort West Irrigation Association diversion, was revealed during a virtual tour this week.
The Nature Conservancy’s Martha Cooper hosted a virtual tour of two planned permanent diversion structures in the Cliff-Gila valley Wednesday, the uppermost of which the Upper Gila Irrigation Association diversion is ready to be constructed as soon as the Gila Basin Irrigation Commission secures a final piece of funding.

2020 has been a tough year for some of the Colorado River basin’s long-planned, most controversial water projects.
Proposals to divert water in New Mexico, Nevada and Utah have run up against significant legal, financial and political roadblocks this year. But while environmental groups have cheered the setbacks, it’s still unclear whether these projects have truly hit dead ends or are simply waiting in the wings.

Last week, Silver City and the New Mexico Office of Natural Resources Trustee announced an agreement that will provide $1.3 million to extend municipal sewer service to as many as 27 homes in the Indian Hills neighborhood currently served by individual septic systems. The approximately 3,900 lineal feet of new 8-inch sewer pipe will start where the Blackhawk Road sewer extension terminates a project also funded by settlement dollars along Cain Drive between Grandview Road and Blackhawk Road, then run east along Cain, stopping just short of Swan Street and also extending north up Arrowhead Road from Cain until just before Arrowhead takes a 90 degree turn. The town of Silver City will operate and maintain the system, which will also include a lift station to pump sewage to the existing gravity line along Cain just west of Grandview. ※We will waive the connection fee for one year” should residents choose to install at their own expense their own connecting sewer line, Si
