Architectural Research Consultants, Incorporated (ARC), working with Robert Johns, ASLA, Landscape Architect, prepared a Master Plan/Environmental Assessment for Abiquiu Dam, New Mexico for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The document is a guide for the development, use, maintenance, and management of existing recreational facilities at Abiquiu Reservoir. A planning horizon of ten years was used in the development of the document, with provision for review and update in five years.
Abiquiu Reservoir is located in Rio Arriba County of northern New Mexico, an area of physical beauty and a rich physical and cultural heritage. Planning activities considered the effects of change on both the natural and manmade environments surrounding the reservoir. Citizen participation was encouraged in a variety of ways during the planning process. These methods included a number of public meetings. Two public opinion surveys were also conducted. Results indicated a level of support for improving what is already at the lake and making modest changes that add to convenience and separate conflicting uses.
In the recommended plan, all uses are accommodated in areas already developed, except for a recommendation to acquire private property adjacent to the boat launch area.
