On January 8th, there will be a “General Land Use Meeting” in Rio Arriba County to discuss updates to their Oil and Gas Ordinance. It is unclear whether the County Commissioners will be present, although it is likely. Highlights of the proposed changes can be found on the link below. The changes to the Rio Arriba Ordinance are in response to a BLM Lease sale of six properties in the ‘Frontier’ portion of the County, and a public survey that was taken at the last General Land Use meeting (link below) . The Meeting will occur from 5 to 8pm at the Rio Arriba County Seat offices in Tierra Amarilla Commission Chambers at State Road 162 #149 Tierra Amarilla, NM 87575 (Phone 575-588-7254).
