Valle Vidal sets ONRW protection over 100000 acres
The New Mexico Water Quality Control Commission named Valle Vidal an Outstanding National Resource Water under the Clean Water Act. The designation strengthens protections against energy development, though it does not ban drilling, and cites input from state agencies, environmental groups, and local testimony. Critics warn costs may deter oil and gas activity while supporters hope for stricter safeguards and broader preservation.
