How does SB86 #ProtectWater from the #oilandgas industry? It's pretty simple:
A 🧵

#NMPol #NMleg
•Provides defined & enforceable consequences for spills
•Directs that fines for spills pay for public compilation of #oilandgas data
•Mandates rules to protect public health, the environment, & freshwater resources against toxic oil & gas pollution
#ProtectWater #NMPol #NMleg
•Requires tracking of fracking waste and treated "produced water"
•Sets minimum requirements based on current science and technology for rules governing reuse of treated "produced water" outside the #oilandgas industry
#ProtectWater #NMpol #NMleg
Finally, SB86:
•Requires public disclosure of contaminants in produced water that is spilled or offered for reuse for non- #oilandgas purposes
You can see these are all reasonable & common-sense rules to #ProtectWater in New Mexico
