No, NMBGMR geologists evaluate coal resources and determine their economic potential. The New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department Mining and Minerals Division regulates the coal industry. See Chapter 3 of the 2002 Decision Maker’s Field Conference Guidebook for an overview of the coal industry in New Mexico.
