The New Mexico Environment Department will host several public involvement
meetings in December in order to share information, answer questions and
receive initial public input on the options available for developing a State
Plan in response to EPA’s Clean Power Plan. EPA’s Clean Power Plan sets
requirements for certain electric generators to lower carbon dioxide emissions.
States are then required to develop a plan to ensure that these federal
requirements are met.
The meetings each begin with a brief introduction to the Clean
Power Plan, followed by the opportunity for interested citizens to provide
input to the New Mexico Environment Department and to ask questions regarding
the final rule. Oral and written comments and questions will be accepted and
can be sent in advance, if desired, to: NMENV-NMCPP@state.nm.us. Basic information
about the Clean Power Plan will be provided and is also available at: http://www.env.nm.gov/aqb/CPP.htm.
