Gravel Mining

Placitas is at a crossroads

Decisions made at the Federal and State levels in the near future will determine if this community can flourish as one of the economic stars in New Mexico or as Albuquerque’s gravel pit. The outcome will become a legacy-forming event for our current government representatives. In 2015 LPA and ES-CA issued a position paper on gravel mining in the Placitas area. Until the BLM releases the Rio Puerco Resource Management Plan (RMP), the future of mining expansion in our community is unknown.

So bountiful hath been the earth and so securely have we drawn from it our substance, that we have taken it all for granted as if it were only a gift, and with little care or conscious thought of the consequences of our use of it; nor have we very much considered the essential relation that we bear to it as living parts in the vast creation.
