Last year, the state’s Water Quality Control Commission (WQCC) rejected a request to loosen water standards to allow fracking waste water (produced water) to be used for some agricultural purposes. There was a big scandal because Governor Lujan Grisham and Secretary Kenney were meddling with the process. Well, the industry is trying again. Please give public comment to the Water Quality Control Commission for the meeting on April 14, 2026, from 9am to noon. Our request is that the WQCC reject the request to revisit the rule on produced water. Meeting information and Agenda.
