Isleta Pueblo Lt. Gov Randy Jiron said his tribe's request to have a 100,000-acre ranch taken into trust shouldn't affect a local county's plans for a landfill.

Jiron said the Pueblo is willing to work with Valencia County to ensure access to the landfill. The 640-acre landfill would be located next to the Pueblo's ranch.

The Pueblo bought the ranch in 1997. It has recently asked for it to be taken into trust.
