From the New Mexican:
" Planners hired to draft Santa Fe County policies for oil and gas production say the process will be an open and inclusive one.
Bruce Peshoff, one of a group of experts the county has hired, said his firm, Planning Works, will conduct four public workshops and two multiday design sessions designed to encourage public involvement. "It shows (the public) it's not just as simple as saying I don't want this here," Peshoff said to the County Commission on Tuesday.
Residents will be able to track the planning process, read documents, look at maps and make comments on a Web site that will be devoted to the project, he said.
Peshoff said the group will focus on general planning decisions, such as what types of growth should be allowed where, in addition to issues specific to hydrocarbon extraction — such as setbacks, noise and dust pollution.
Peshoff said the planners will develop a "pay as you grow" funding mechanism to ensure new infrastructure is paid for by new developments and not existing taxpayers." more>>>>
