Black Arroyo Master Plan

 SSCAFCA owns approximately 72 acres along the Black

Arroyo in Rio Rancho, NM

 14 acres of site to be preserved as an Environmental

Mitigation Zone for Wildlife Habitat

 8.5 acres of site set aside for Education (school)  Purpose of the Master Plan:

 Safe access with respect to flooding  Alternative use potentials for the property  Arid land protection/restoration  Educational/recreational opportunities for the property

Black Arroyo Wildlife Park Master Plan

SLIDE 6

Black Arroyo Trail Project SSCAFCA is proposing to design and construct a multi-

use trail system, including trailheads, parking, and arroyo crossings, throughout the 72-acre Black Arroyo Wildlife Park:

 ADA-accessible  Two pedestrian bridges and two culverted crossings along the

Black Arroyo or its tributaries

 Trail head parking/drop-off areas  Connectivity to Maggie Cordova Elementary School  Main trail would be approximately 1.25 miles long and 10 to 12

feet wide (12 shown)

 Trail alignments, locations of arroyo crossings, and parking

areas generally conform to those identified in the May 2013 Master Plan

Environmental Investigations

 Two (2) Active Burrowing Owl Nests (1 in the northern part of

the arroyo and one in the mid section

 Highly erodible soils (sand) throughout project area with high

number of weedy annuals, though none noted as noxious

 No wetland areas  Bank swallow habitat present though decreasing in quality and

no birds were observed during survey. Heavy rains of September 2013 may have contributed to decreasing quality of habitat, as much of the burrows were sloughing

 Vegetation primarily consists of sand sage, Indian rice-grass,

juniper, and a large number of weedy annuals. Weedy annual density number probably a result of proximity to primary thoroughfares and thus seed dispersal
