Santa Teresa Environmental Study, Doña Ana County, NM, 1993
TEC staff prepared environmental studies for roadway corridors serving the crossings of the US/Mexico border at Santa Teresa and Sunland Park, NM. The project was prepared for the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The project involved complex issues including wetlands, farmland, air quality, and transport of hazardous wastes across the international border. Public meetings held for the project were conducted in Spanish and English, in coordination with federal, state of New Mexico and State of Texas, and Republic of Mexico agencies. Following the public hearings, the project environmental documentation was completed with an input synopsis leading to a finding of no significant impact (FONSI). Construction of the roadway from Interstate 10 (I-10) in Texas to the Santa Teresa international border crossing is now complete, and the road has been designated the “Pete Domenici Highway.”
