The New Mexico Court of Appeals has upheld regulations designed to reduce ozone pollution in the state, following a rule established in 2022 that targets emissions that lead to ground-level ozone, commonly called smog. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's administration supports these regulations as essential for addressing climate change and adhering to federal air quality standards. Despite opposition from industry groups claiming the rules unreasonably impact smaller operators, the court affirmed the regulations' validity and the necessity for oil and gas operators to monitor and mitigate harmful emissions.
