Sad day for clean water in our country. The Sackett v. EPA #CleanWaterAct decision came down from #SCOTUS yesterday eliminating protections for wetlands except in very limited circumstances. The ruling puts a lot of NM's waters at risk. To close the gaps in regulatory safeguards, we need state-level protections for NM's wetlands and surface waters. The NM Environment Department is currently working on a state surface water permitting program. We need to expedite implementation of this program in order to protect NM's water resources! https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/supreme-court-ruling-to-limit-protected-waters-will-affect-new-mexico/article_2adb4092-fb23-11ed-8db9-cfb105a01b5d.html

OUR STRATEGY

GRIP works in communities, in the courts, and in the state legislature

to protect community health, our environment, and natural resources.

Together, we can secure a healthy future for everyone!

OUR WORK

GRIP serves as a watchful guardian of our environment in southwest New Mexico. We keep an eye on activities with the potential to harm community health and our environment, such as polluting mining operations, unsustainable water use, and ecologically harmful projects. In response, we bring technical, policy and legal expertise to protect our land, air, water, public lands and wildlife. By facilitating informed public participation, we engage the public in natural resource use decisions and stewardship of our natural systems.

PROTECT

We work to protect community health and our natural resources by
ensuring responsible operation and reclamation of the region’s mines, by fostering resiliency and water security in the face of the climate crisis, and by saving our special natural areas and public lands for future generations.
