Mora Co. commissioners meeting, Sept. 16, 10 am; also, state land auction

From Drilling Mora County:

A Mora County Commissioners meeting will be held tomorrow morning, September 16th, at 10:00 am in Mora at the Mora High School administration building.

Drilling Mora County (DMC) is on the agenda to address the legal opinion from attorney, Bruce Frederick, New Mexico Environmental Law Center, regarding the power Mora County has over permitting private oil and gas drillers on state trust land (see link for the state trust land auction>>>>). Bruce will review the legalities with the commission and their attorney.

According to a newspaper article in the Albuquerque Journal North, last Wednesday, the county attorney indicated a moratorium will be passed during tomorrow's meeting as well.

An auction for the 13,000 acres of state trust land east of Ocate to I-25 is also scheduled for tomorrow, in Santa Fe. Leases usually begin about 9:00 am and are at the State Land Office.
