Annotation: The Pollution Prevention/Best Management Practices Pocket Guide for the New Mexico Oil and Gas Industry is a quick lookup reference for common oil and gas pollution prevention and waste management practices. The Guide, a supplement to the two-volume Pollution Prevention/ Best Management Practices Manual, will help identify ways to prevent pollution and manage wastes effectively in oil and gas field operations. While the manual promotes the development of a pollution prevention plan through an evaluation of waste-generating processes, the pocket guide stresses the quick but effective solution that would not require a plan to implement.
