The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has ordered an “immediate temporary suspension” of the SunZia Transmission Project, affecting an approximate 50-mile segment in Arizona, “located entirely on non-federal land.”

The suspension in Arizona, occurred following the letter the BLM received from the Tohono O’Odham Tribal Chairman Verlon Jose, representing the Tohono O’Odham Nation, San Carlos Apache Tribe and Archaeology Southwest on Tuesday, Oct. 31.

The letter raised concerns about the potential interference with Traditional Cultural Properties (TCP) in the San Pedro Valley area.

The letter addressed to Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland called for a withdrawal or suspension of the limited notice to proceed (“LNTP”), which was issued on Tuesday, Sept. 26, by the New Mexico State Office of the BLM.
