AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Uranium & public lands: New Mexico’s Commissioner of Public Lands Stephanie Garcia Richard signed an executive order banning new uranium mining on state trust lands, citing the state’s radioactive legacy and the risk of contamination. Mining permitting: A public hearing is set for Sept. 17 on the Copper Flat Mine plan in Sierra County, where New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division will take comments on a revised dry-stack tailings approach aimed at cutting freshwater demand. Data centers & water: In southern New Mexico, residents in Grant County are organizing after learning about an air-quality permit filing for a proposed natural-gas-powered data center, while statewide legal fights over Project Jupiter continue as the NM attorney general backs emergency petitions tied to air and water impacts. Health & pollution: New studies link New Mexico drilling to radiation, air pollution, and health risks, adding pressure on regulators and communities. Weather: Albuquerque and much of the state stay hot with monsoon storms and a small chance of heavy rain, including possible burn-scar flooding near Ruidoso.
