The Calabacillas Grade Control Structures (GCS) 3a1, 3b1, & Bank Protection Project is located on the Calabacillas Arroyo between Unser Blvd. and Golf Course Rd. N.W. The Project includes the construction of two new GCSs, GCS 3a1 and GCS 3b1, as well as linear bank protection, erosion control, and access and maintenance roads within the arroyo. These structures are necessary to provide vertical/lateral erosion control, overall bank protection, and channel stability to the arroyo.
AMAFCA has applied for and is currently under review for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding through the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (NMDHSEM) under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). Information regarding the grant and public notices will provided on this page when available.
