Petition for Further Appeal of New Mexico Copper Corporation’s Ground Water Discharge Permit Denied by New Mexico Supreme Court
TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, NEW MEXICO – (October 4, 2022) – The New Mexico Supreme Court has denied a petition for writ of certiorari seeking review of the State Court of Appeals decision affirming the decision of the New Mexico Water Quality Control Commission to approve a groundwater discharge permit (“Permit”) that the New Mexico Environment Department issued to New Mexico Copper Corporation.
On June 15, 2022, Turner Ranch Properties, L.P., Hillsboro Pitchfork Ranch, LLC and Gila Resources Information Project (GRIP) petitioned the New Mexico Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari asking the court to conduct a further review of the Permit. After considering the record of this case, the three-judge panel assigned to review the petition denied the request for a further appeal. All members of the panel concurred in the decision. With this order, all appeals regarding the issuance of DP-1842 have been exhausted, leaving the Copper Flat Mine’s discharge permit in effect.
