The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) will hold public listening sessions in Santa Fe on Wednesday, November 18 and in Albuquerque on Thursday, November 19, 2015, to take questions and comments on the Clean Power Plan recently promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These meetings are open to any interested member of the public. The listening sessions will take place from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Southside Public Library, 6599 Jaguar Drive, Santa Fe (November 18) and at the New Mexico Environment Department District 1 Office, 121 Tijeras Ave. NE, Albuquerque (November 19).

The Clean Power Plan is EPA’s new regulation requiring states to limit emissions of greenhouse gases from existing electric power plants. NMED’s November 18 and 19 public listening sessions will give community members an opportunity to express their views and ask questions about the Clean Power Plan and New Mexico’s potential options for complying with it. NMED staff will present a brief overview of the Clean Power Plan to open the meeting, followed by opportunity for the public to ask questions or give input.

Detailed information on EPA’s Clean Power Plan is available at http://www2.epa.gov/cleanpowerplan/clean-power-plan-existing-power-plants. General information is available at https://www.env.nm.gov/aqb/CPP.htm.
