Report on the New Mexico attorney general’s review of public comments for the Project Jupiter air-quality permit ↗

Source New Mexico; New Mexico Department of Justice letter reported

The report says NMDOJ analyzed 17,419 comments, identified patterns involving form letters, internet addresses and comments bearing officials’ names, and asked NMED to preserve records and consider unverified comments or reopening the period if records cannot be verified. The investigation is ongoing; this does not identify responsibility for a particular comment, establish criminal conduct, or decide the air permit. The underlying AG letter was not directly located in the NMDOJ public press-release index during this check.
