I I. Section 12 all in T.37N., R.10E" New Mexico Principal Meridian as shown on the location map in Figure 3-1. I I I ,. I I . I I I I I . . I . . I Pro Dosed Facilitv The original construction of the facility will include two hatchery buildings, seven outdoor rearing ponds, four shallow wells, two deep wells, a head tank with mixing and cooling equipment, an effluent treatment building, a garage and shop building, and a residence as shown on the site plans in Figures 3-2 and 3-3. The water supply consists of cool water from the four shallow wells and wanner water from the two deep wells as described in the following section of this report. The various species identified for rearing at this facility each require specific water temperatures that can range from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Furthermore, some of the species may require different temperatures during their life stages and reproductive cycles. Water from both the deep and shallow wells will first flow to a head tank with aeration for all flows and cooling towers for the wanner water from the deep wells. From the head tank, separate supply lines for cool and wann water will distribute flows to each rearing unit. Wann and cool water supplies can be mixed to the desired water temperature for each species requirement. Individualized treatment will be provided as needed for the inflow to each unit. The design concept for the hatchery buildings is modular, flexible, and compartmentalized, The buildings will be configurable for combinations of round tanks, rectangular troughs, racks of small aquariums, living streams, or whatever arrangement is required for the species being reared. Since several different species will most likely be reared concurrently, the water supply will be capable of providing multiple parallel water systems where each system's water quality can be manipulated independently for the different rearing conditions, This will reduce the risk of cross contamination between the different species and is especially critical for raising endangered species. All effluent from the facility will receive chlorination and coarse screening. Treated effluent will then be pumped to the pond or the lakes on the property for recharge of the surficial aquifer. The decision to construct two hatchery buildings was justified by the isolation and quarantine capabilities two buildings could provide, particularly if amphibian species are among those being reared. One entire building could be taken out of service if the hatchery demand is small. 3-2
