Gold King Mine Spill Citizens’ Advisory Committee Meeting on Monday
Committee Business, Farmers’ Market Dialogue & Annual Follow-up Items


Santa Fe – New Mexico’s Gold King Mine Spill Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC), based out of San Juan County, New Mexico, meets Monday, March 27, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. in the San Juan College Student Center-SUNS Room (accessible through the Henderson Fine Arts Center). 
 
The Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC) is a group of 10 citizen volunteers from Northern New Mexico, including the Navajo Nation, who provide a forum for public concerns while tracking the scientific long-term monitoring of the Gold King Mine spill’s effects in the state.  At Monday’s meeting the group will review the 2016 year’s activities, discuss before- and after-spill effects with a Farmers’ Market representative, and conduct Committee business.
 
The CAC works with New Mexico’s Long-Term Impact Review Team, established by Governor Susana Martinez, to both monitor and discuss with the public the continuing effects of the August 2015 mine blowout, that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency admitted to causing which released over three million gallons of mining wastewater laden with more than a million pounds of metals into the Animas and San Juan River systems.

    re: this blog

    My main interests are:
    - communication and society, especially as related to technology and media;
    -technology for good;
    ​-social good; and
    -emergency public information

    I will share articles of interest from various media sources, as well as my own blog posts.

    Don't be surprised, however, to see the occasional foodie post or absurdity of the day - blogs should always allow some room for general interest and ranting.
