Taos airport expansion halted amid call for EIS
A federal judge blocked Taos from starting any ground-disturbing work on the 10 million expansion to Taos Municipal Airport until an Environmental Impact Statement is prepared. The ruling, by Judge Edwin Mechem, requires the town to study impacts of the 8600 foot crosswind runway and related upgrades, with appeals possible and an EIS timeline of up to 18 months.

Lawsuit targets logging on Carson National Forest area
A coalition of environmental groups filed a August 12 lawsuit in Phoenix seeking an immediate halt to 37 logging operations across New Mexico and Arizona, including five on the Carson National Forest. They aim to curb timber sales and reduce future logging to protect the northern goshawk habitat, potentially closing mills and ending free-use firewood policies. The suit targets the Alamo Dinner Diversification Unit south of Peñasco and involves the Santa Fe and Gila forests in New Mexico and Kaibab Cottonwood Apache Sitgreaves in Arizona.
