New Mexico seek record $47.8M fine for excess air pollution
New Mexico environmental regulators levy a 47.8 million dollar fine on Houston based Targa Resources for alleged permit violations and excess emissions at its Jal New Mexico gas processing plant near the Texas border. The action includes a cease and desist order and requires corrective steps while the case may be referred to federal regulators. Regulators cite late emission reports and missing root cause analysis as key issues and note the fine would be the state’s largest if upheld. The appeals court recently supported ozone and methane regulations as the state moves to curb air pollution in its oil and gas sector.

Pecos pupfish move sparks industry pushback on protection
The U S Fish and Wildlife Service proposed a threatened listing for the Pecos pupfish in Eddy County New Mexico and parts of Texas, opening a 60 day comment period. The plan would create critical habitat across 136 miles of the Pecos River and 26 555 acres, restricting access but not altering private land ownership. Industry leaders say protections threaten Permian Basin energy development, blaming environmental groups and calling for future policy reversals. The petition by the Center for Biological Diversity cites drought climate change and invasive species as key threats to the small river fish, which now survives in isolated pockets only.
