Bill Richardson’s six-month ban. And in April, Rio Arriba County Commissioners passed a four month drilling moratorium, halting Texas-based Approach Resources’ plans to “explore” more than 90,000 acres east of Tierra Amarilla.
According to The Santa Fe New Mexican, rural Mora County passed an indefinite ban on oil and gas drilling last month. In each of these cases, government officials cited the needs for impact assessments and revised regulatory plans as justification for the bans." more>>>>
