URGENT ACTION: Protect Greater Chaco from Oil & Gas Land Leases
The BLM is planning to auction off 84,000 acres of land in New Mexico! We need you to help by writing letters of objection. The due date is Oct. 30th.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is planning to auction off more than 84,000 acres of land in New Mexico to the oil and gas industry this December. This includes more than 43,000 acres in the Greater Chaco region of the northwest New Mexico and 41,000 acres in the southeast New Mexico’s Greater Carlsbad Caverns region.
The BLM is only giving the public 10 days (not 30) to issue protest comments, as well as changing the rules these need to be hand delivered or snail mail (not email).
COALITION ACTIONS
Many of the organizations in our coalition have petitions, campaigns or events. Please consider taking the following actions:
Tell the EPA: Don't weaken these clean air and public health protections!
Within the span of a week, the Trump administration took two extreme steps to roll back commonsense safeguards against methane pollution from the oil and gas industry, putting the health of our communities and our environment at risk. One of those actions, led by Trump's Acting EPA Administrator, Andrew Wheeler, is open for public comment--and now we can go on the record and fight back! Learn More
Defend Greater Chaco, Ensure Justice
President Trump and his Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, are pressing ahead to auction off 4,500 acres of the Greater Chaco region for fracking. We need your help, send a letter today. We’re building resistance, but we need your voice to mount an effective defense.
Comment On 2018 Sale: Tell the BLM: No Plan? Don't Drill.
BLM just announced their 2018 sale of more parcels in Greater Chaco. They still haven't put proper protections in place. Some of the designated parcels are only 10 miles from the border of Chaco National Historical Park. Other parcels are right in the middle of indigenous communities already overrun with drilling.
