Governor Richardson Issues Statement on Desert Rock
SANTA FE - Governor Bill Richardson issued the following statement following the
Environmental Protection Agency’s consent decree Desert Rock.
"This consent decree will only serve to tie EPA's hands while preventing a full and
thorough analysis of the far reaching impacts this plant will have on the health of New
Mexicans,” said Governor Richardson. “Every indication is that this is an agreement
being pushed by the Bush White House to the detriment of air quality in the Four Corners
region. I urge EPA to delay issuance of the permit pending full consultation with New
Mexico regarding the far-reaching environmental impacts -- including asthma-causing
ozone, mercury and greenhouse gas emissions -- that will be caused by this plant.”
A decision must be made on EPA’s consent decree by July 31, 2008
