The hearing offers the public an opportunity to advocate for stronger water quality protections and oppose proposed amendments that will weaken existing surface water regulations. Los Alamos National Labs and the New Mexico Mining Association are proposing to weaken safeguards for our water resources. Voice your support for protection of the rivers, creeks and lakes that you care about! The New Mexico Water Quality Control Commission began the Triennial Review public hearing on Tuesday, July 13, 2021. The virtual hearing, viewable online via WebEx, is gathering evidence in support of and in opposition to proposed amendments to existing surface water quality regulations. The public can submit written comments now through the end of the multi-day hearing, which is expected to last 4 -10 days. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/protect-new-mexicos-water-resources
