"New Mexico Democrats Push Feds to Limit Drilling Near Chaco"

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Democratic members of New Mexico's congressional delegation are pushing federal officials to uphold an agreement that limits oil and gas leasing on public land near Chaco Culture National Historical Park.

The Bureau of Land Management previously agreed to defer all leases within a 10-mile radius around the park as the agency works to update its resource management plan for northwestern New Mexico."

The Associated Press had the story September 8, 2017.
