Rio Arriba drilling rules to be like Otero Mesa's (Podcast)
By: Bill Dupuy




SANTA FE (2008-07-23) -- State oil and gas regulators are beginning the process of writing special rules for drilling in some parts of Rio Arriba County.

Joanna Prukopp is secretary of the energy, minerals and natural resources department. She says the Rio Chama watershed area of Rio Arriba County is similar to other areas where they've written special drilling regulations.

The governor ordered the rules to be written after a state hearing officer found that an oil-development company had placed a well site 40 feet from surface water.
