Historical Note:
The work site had been shutdown for more than 4 months due to COVID-19 restrictions mandated by New Mexico State Governor Lujan-Grisham. Other than Security check-ups at the site, little work was done until attempts were made to re-start operations the first week of August 2020. Only select crews are being called to work on site at this time. No Visitors are being allowed until further notice.
