NM Produced Water Bill 2026 FB

A dangerous new bill proposed in nm would let big oil dump treated oilfield waste directly into waterways and agricultural areas "The best science tells us the technology to effectively treat oil and gas wastewater at scale does not exist. Discharging treated produced water is a false solution to our state’s water scarcity challenge. However, the rule currently in place allows scientific research to move forward. Treated produced water should not be introduced to New Mexico’s surface and ground water resources unless and until the scientific evidence demonstrates it’s safe.” - tannis fox, senior attorney
