Source: Environment America
The Department of the Interior is considering reversing protections for over 300,000 acres surrounding Chaco Canyon to open the lands for oil and gas drilling. This involves potentially partially revoking Public Land Order 7923, which currently protects the area from mining and drilling for 20 years.
