and

The Piedra Liza Dam, located above the town of Bernalillo, is
slated for rehabilitation. It was built to protect agricultural lands,
irrigation facilities, and urban structures after a devastating flood in 1949
destroyed a 100-year-old convent in Bernalillo. The project sponsors are the
Coronado SWCD, Town of Bernalillo, and Sandoval County. NRCS is providing 65
percent of the funding. Project sponsors of existing dams built with NRCS
assistance are encouraged to contact the NRCS state conservation engineer for a
rehabilitation assessment at (505)761-4489.
