Water supply clash shadows Gallup NMGS plan
A New Mexico Generating Station water dispute intensifies as Gallup advocates warn that Navajo Reservoir water may be siphoned off for cooling. The BLM faces scrutiny over baseline conditions and 8,000 acre feet yearly commitments, while state estimates and PNM needs draw further conflict with the Jicarilla Apache suit adding a potential block to San Juan Basin water.

The Gallup region faced up to five inches of snow as drivers faced icy, snowpacked roads and several noninjury accidents. Schools operated as usual after authorities monitored road conditions from 4 30 this morning. Traffic along Interstates and U S routes remained slow with buses delayed but running. Officials warned drivers to use caution as more snow was expected and a snow watch continued through Thursday.

Ruling overturns drilling scope in wilderness areas
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled a Wyoming ruling erred by applying grammar error in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act to allow mineral leasing in wilderness study areas. The court said the act aims to maintain the status quo as of Oct. 21, 1976 and to protect wilderness values while allowing mining and grazing within limits. The Sierra Club NRDC National Wildlife Federation and Wilderness Society joined the appeal. The decision challenges Interior policy that favored environmental concerns over mineral development.
