The New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission
last week voted to defund the New Mexico Entity of the Central Arizona Project, the organization that was tasked in 2015 with planning and constructing the proposed Gila River diversion project known in federal statute as the “New Mexico Unit.”
The ISC, which serves as the Entity’s primary fiscal agent, also voted to “prepare a resolution to withdraw the ISC from membership” in the diversion group, which is otherwise made up of 14 ditch associations, soil and water conservation districts, municipalities and the counties of Grant, Luna, Hidalgo and Catron.

Stream commission defunds, drops out of Gila diversion group Written by Geoffrey Plant on April 30, 2021
Without discussion, New Mexico Interstate Stream Commissioners today voted to defund the New Mexico Entity of the Central Arizona Project, the group that had been tasked with planning and constructing the failed Gila River diversion project known on paper as the “New Mexico Unit.”
The ISC, which serves as the Entity’s primary fiscal agent, also signaled that it will withdraw its membership in the diversion group.
The N.M. CAP Entity typically requests ISC approval of its operating budget every May. However, a new state law set to take effect in June prohibits further spending on a New Mexico Unit diversion, and additionally removes the Entity from its advisory role over how $80 million in southwest New Mexico water project funding will be spent.
Bill to sideline diversion group passes committee Written by Geoffrey Plant on February 17, 2021
A bill that seeks to sideline the New Mexico Entity of the Central Arizona Project received a “do pass” recommendation by the state House Agriculture and Water Resources Committee on Saturday in a 5-3 party-line vote.
Committee member and District 15 Democratic state Rep. Dayan Hochman-Vigil attended Saturday’s hearing but did not cast a vote regarding House Bill 200.
District 50 N.M. Rep. Matthew McQueen, sponsor of the bill, titled “Water Trust Board Projects and NM Unit Fund,” explained the proposed law’s purpose to the committee, which met virtually via Zoom due to the pandemic, by telling them why he wanted to use a different title for the legislation.
