This Memorial affirms New Mexico's commitment to addressing the significant cultural, environmental, and health impacts stemming from oil and gas development in the greater Chaco Canyon landscape, an area of deep ancestral and current importance to the Navajo Nation and the twenty pueblos of New Mexico and Texas. It highlights concerns raised by the Farmington Mancos-Gallup resource management plan amendment, which accounts for extensive existing and projected oil and gas wells, and notes that these activities have led to documented respiratory health issues and cultural disruptions for residents, particularly in Navajo Nation chapters like Counselor, Torreon, and Ojo Encino. The Memorial urges the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management and the state land office to fully consider and address these impacts, refrain from further leasing or permitting without adequate protections developed in consultation with affected communities, and to comply with federal laws like the National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Air Act, as well as state constitutional provisions protecting a healthful environment.
