Governor Bill Richardson 4 Jim Noel Cabinet Secretary Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department A Message from Cabinet Secretary Jim Noel It is with pleasure that I share the 2010 Annual Report of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department. This year’s report includes a review of the department’s efforts in 2010, but also contains a retrospective of the administration’s successes of the past eight years. During my tenure I have witnessed first-hand the hard work of EMNRD’s employees to protect our natural resources. Their efforts are particularly noteworthy given the current economic and budget-constrained climate. EMNRD staff have faced the reality of doing more with less, and they have done so with increased commitment, dedication and creativity. It is only through their resourcefulness that this department has maintained state park operations, increased the amount of land under conservation easements, increased riparian restoration efforts, protected our natural lands from wild fires, and continued regulatory oversight of natural resource extraction. Joanna Prukop, who served as Governor Richardson’s first cabinet secretary in this department, deserves much credit for the successes of this department over the past eight years. Under her leadership, this department implemented the Governor’s aggressive and progressive agenda concerning public lands management, the regulation of oil and gas exploration and development, and clean energy development. Secretary Prukop, along with the hard work of EMNRD staff, enhanced New Mexico’s state parks, expanded land conservation and wildlife habitat protection initiatives, addressed forest and watershed health concerns, and required mining companies to provide financial assurance for the close-out and reclamation costs of their mining operations. Theodore Roosevelt noted that “[o]f all the questions which can come before [us]…, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us...” I am proud to have had the opportunity to serve this administration and the people of this state. I am also proud to have had the honor of serving with such dedicated civil servants as I have seen at EMNRD. They embrace the principles Roosevelt put forth a century ago - principles that are even more crucial today than when first conceived by Roosevelt, to ensure a sustainable environmental and economic future for our beloved state of New Mexico.
