NM Oil Conservation Division Pollution Prevention Best Management Practices (P2BMP) Manual and Pocket Guide: The NMOCD in conjunction with Moorhouse and Associates will be conducting several training session on their recently published P2BMP Manual and Pocket Guide.

The P2BMP Training sessions are being planned for both the Hobbs and Farmington area.  This will be a two day training session on the P2BMP Manual, Volume I and II and will provide the tools and information needed to develop a comprehensive pollution based management system.  Eventual incentives for P2BMP in New Mexico would be reduction in regulatory burden.

Additional one-day training sessions will also be held for the “Pocket Guide” which contains information that can be used readily in the field.  The contents of the pocket guide include material substitution, good housekeeping practices, and equipment maintenance.  The pocket guide is geared towards field personnel as a tool for implementing environmental best management practices.

Anticipated dates for both the 2-day P2BMP Training sessions and the 1-day Pocket Guide Training sessions will be late May/early June and late June.  NMOGA will advise members of the training dates as soon as they are set.
