Summary
Transwestern Pipeline wants to build a new 17.77-mile natural gas pipeline and some facilities in New Mexico, but FERC staff is pushing back because they didn’t get proof that the project won’t harm historic sites. This means the project’s approval is on hold until the missing paperwork arrives, with a key deadline on April 13, 2026. People in Doña Ana County and the environment are watching closely as money and timing hang in the balance.
