“We commend Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard for bringing this critical issue to the attention of New Mexicans” said Erik Schlenker-Goodrich, executive director of the Western Environmental Law Center. “We urgently need reform of the oil and gas bonding system. WELC and partner groups will work with the state land office, the Oil Conservation Division, and federal agencies to make sure that these industry costs do not fall on the public, and communities are not subject to the pollution and adverse health impacts that can result when industry fails to clean up its messes.”
