A coalition of groups including Southwest Organizing Project and League of Conservation Voters New Mexico presented 12,000 petition signatures for a strong pit rule to the New Mexico Governor's office. The text of the petition reads, "To the Honorable Governor Susana Martinez, The pit rule prevents oil and gas production wastes from polluting our water. If the Pit Rule is dismantled, our groundwater will be in jeopardy. Don't put oil and gas companies ahead of the health and safety of our families. Keep toxic waste out of our water -- don't dismantle the Pit Rule."
