Stansbury | S001218 | stansbury.house.gov | stansbury | https://stansbury.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (N.M.) and Ben Ray Luján (N.M.) and U.S. Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández (N.M.-03) and Melanie Stansbury (N.M.-01) announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is waiving cost-share program requirements for agricultural producers and landowners impacted by the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Wildfire. With funding supported by New Mexico Congressional Democrats in the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) Continuing Resolution, USDA will offer a 100% cost share through theEnvironmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP),Emergency Conservation Program (ECP), andEmergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP). New Mexico Congressional Democrats recently secured the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act in the FY22 Continuing Resolution and an additional $2.5 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to establish and carry out the requirements of the bill. The Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act is led by Senator Luján and Representative Leger Fernández, and co-sponsored by Senator Heinrich and Representative Stansbury. New Mexico Congressional Democrats have been proactive in their engagement with the Biden administration and state and local officials to provide impacted New Mexicans with the assistance and support they need. In June, after calls from Senators Heinrich and Luján and Representatives Leger Fernández and Stansbury, the USDA announced the department would cover 100% of the costs through the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program for debris removal and other measures to address watershed impairments in designated areas of New Mexico impacted by recent wildfires. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:34:28Z |
