Title: BLM proposes a broad-scale reclamation project for "legacy" sites
Text: "The BLM is currently proposing a broad-scale reclamation project for these "legacy" sites in LPC habitat in Eddy, Lea, Chaves, and Roosevelt counties. Pilot projects in the past year have focused on reclamation of abandoned well-pads and access roads, and re-contouring these sites with the surrounding landscape. The Working Group supports these efforts and recommends BLM, NMOCD, industry, and ranch operators continue to work together in planning and carrying out this large reclamation effort."
