The Bernalillo County Commission denied an appeal on May 24 for a waste and recycling plant near UNM’s golf course. UNM’s Real Estate office is opposed to the recycling plant because it could have a negative effect on the groundwater near the golf course, Real Estate consultant Amy Coburn said. She said the proposed recycling plant would affect traffic in the area. “The frequency of the vehicles and the traffic loading on that road could negatively impact UNM’s ability to develop that site for the larger community,” she said. Traffic was the main concern for some council members, including Wayne Johnson. Johnson said he was concerned there weren’t enough long-term projections for traffic in the area. “They didn’t prove the traffic issues and under this system, the burden of proof is upon them,” he said. “That’s really what it boils down to.”
