Description
¶1 Petitioner, Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club (Sierra Club), appeals from the decision in Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club v. New Mexico Mining Commission, 2001-NMCA-047, ¶ 29, 130 N.M. 497, 27 P.3d 984, in which the Court of Appeals reversed the district court's decision to set aside a final order of the New Mexico Mining Commission (Commission) affirming the issuance of a revised mining permit under the New Mexico Mining Act, NMSA 1978, §§ 69-36-1 to -20 (1993, prior to 2001 amendment). Specifically, the Commission's order affirmed the decision of the Director of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, Mining and Minerals Division (MMD) to expand the permit area for the Las Conchas Mine, operated by Copar Pumice Co., Inc. (Copar), to include El Cajete Mine, also operated by Copar, as a "new mining unit" of an "existing mining operation," rather than requiring Copar to obtain a separate permit for El Cajete Mine as a "new mining operation." On appeal, Sierra Club asserts that: (1) the Commission's order is arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law; and, (2) the Mining Act does not authorize the expansion of a permit area, once that area is fixed in a mining operation permit. We affirm the Court of Appeals.
