Due to recent concerns about coronavirus spread, and the New Mexico Department of Health decision to prohibit large gatherings, the NM Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department and Environment Department have moved the upcoming methane meetings to an online format. The meeting will include presentations about the impacts of the oil and natural gas industries on cultural resources, health and the economy. It will go from 2 to 6 p.m. March 19 and can be viewed through a link on the NMED methane strategy website.

A previous meeting the two agencies hosted in Farmington on the same topic drew more than a hundred people and overflowed the room at San Juan College before it was moved to the Little Theatre. The meeting will be recorded for those who are unable to tune in and view it live. Click HERE to watch the meeting or see the replay
