Our mission is to protect and restore the environment and to foster a healthy and prosperous New Mexico for present and future generations. We implement our mission guided by four tenets: ###Science Using the best available science to inform our decision-making in protecting public health and the environment. ###Innovation Employing creative engineering and technological solutions to address environmental challenges. ###Collaboration Engaging communities and interested stakeholders in environmental decision-making outcomes. ###Compliance Ensuring meaningful compliance with state regulations and permits; leveling the playing field through enforcement. The New Mexico Environment Department was created by the 40th state Legislature in 1991 under the “Department of Environment Act” (Chapter 25). As a regulatory agency, NMED enforces various state regulations and federal laws relating to protection of the environment, resources, and public health and safety.
- The CWA §303(d)/305(b) Integrated Report (IR) is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of Section (§) 303(d) and the reporting requirements of §§ 305(b) and 314 of the federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251) commonly known as the Clean Water Act (CWA).1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago
- Source Water is the raw, untreated supply of water from surface water or groundwater used for current or future drinking water. Source Water protection reduces the risk of water getting contaminated. It is a very efficient and cost saving way to protect the safety and long-term use of safe drinking water for our communities. Source Water Protection Program works with water systems and communities on source water planning and partners with other state, federal, local entities for special projects that study important source water threats and issues.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago

- The Petroleum Storage Tank Bureau works to reduce, mitigate and eliminate the threats to the environment posed by petroleum products or hazardous material or wastes released from underground and above ground storage tanks. This is accomplished by: -Preventing leaks and spills through equipment, monitoring, testing, installation, removal and other requirements, which are enforced through inspections. -Requiring corrective action such as repairing or closing the tank system and cleaning up the spill or leak. -Adhering to the regulations governing owners and operators of petroleum storage tanks located in 20.5.101-20.5.125 of the New Mexico Administrative Code.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago
- GoNM is a web map that shows locations of active and former petroleum storage tank (PST) facilities and sites of active and closed releases. The web map contains links to relevant documents (if available electronically) pertaining to individual sites when they are clicked on the map, such as inspection reports including tank closure information and monitoring reports for release sites. Water quality and depth to groundwater information is included in monitoring reports.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago

- Under Section 303(d)(1) of the federal Clean Water Act, each state is required to develop a list of waters within that state which are not supporting their designated uses established in the state Water Quality Standards and establish a total maximum daily load (TMDL), or prepare an TMDL Alternative (IR Category 4b Demonstration), for each assessment unit – pollutant combination.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago
