We are ranchers in Rio Arriba County. This is a place where land is heritage, where the native grass roots run deep into the soil, and community roots run just as deep. It’s where our family and neighbors raise livestock, grow crops, and live by the principles of care, conservation and reciprocity. None of it is possible without clean, dependable water. But that water is at risk.

Aging oil and gas wells dot the landscape across New Mexico and many sit unplugged and deteriorating. These wells leak and vent harmful, even toxic, gasses like methane and benzene into our air, and they threaten to contaminate the very aquifers that hold the clean water that nourishes our land, wildlife and families. Here’s the hard truth: Oil and gas corporations are not required to set aside nearly enough money to clean up the mess they leave when the wells are no longer making them money. They are allowed to post a small bond and then many just walk away, leaving the real cleanup bill to us, the public.

If we don’t act now to protect our water, we’re not just threatening ranching and farming. We are threatening the cultural lifeways of rural New Mexico. The Oil Conservation Commission has a chance right now to fix this. New bonding rules must ensure that oil and gas corporations pay up front for the true cost of cleanup. The full cost so the burden doesn’t fall on rural families, tribal communities and working lands. This land gave us everything. We can’t pass down poisoned land and call it a legacy. We must protect what we’ve inherited. We must demand accountability from those who profit from our natural resources.

🌶️ You can’t grow chile without clean water. In Rio Arriba County, aging oil & gas wells threaten to poison what sustains us: land, water, and legacy. Op-ed from @vivarioarriba.bsky.social on why modernizing bonding will help make #NMPol safer and cleaner.
