Amigos Bravos: Because Water Matters Annual Report 2011 Photo by Susanne V. Schroeder Protecting Rivers, Sustaining Communities Since 1988 Letter from the President and Executive Director Dear Friends of New Mexico’s Wild Rivers, Amigos Bravos exists because water matters. At birth, the human body is primarily water – nearly 80%. 70% of the earth is covered with water. Amigos Bravos is dedicated to protecting the first by protecting and restoring the second. We restore watershed health, we hold polluters accountable, and we provide assistance and training to groups who are addressing those issues. We also love wild creatures. Over the past several years Amigos Bravos has managed, with our partners, to reintroduce thirty-three river otters into the Rio Grande and its tributaries. We are delighted to report that those otter and their progeny have been sited as far north as Ute Mountain and as far south as Cochiti Lake. The future of all of our communities, including the wildlife community, depends on clean, abundant, and accessible water. Ensuring that our future includes those waters involves complex issues. Water is overappropriated in New Mexico. This means that there is more demand than there is supply. The state has been unwilling to make a strong commitment to water conservation planning, and implementation of conservation planning lags even further behind. Current law and practice views water as a commodity that can be bought by the highest bidder. This foretells a future of inequitable distribution of water resources and the drying up our rural wildlife and human communities. Water is also used as a way to transport and discharge contaminated waste, in our toilets as well as in the tailing pipes at mine sites. Amigos Bravos works with a diverse range of partners to address legacy pollution from uranium, copper, and molybdenum mining throughout the state. In addition, Amigos Bravos continues to work with stakeholders to stop the biggest threat to New Mexico’s water – nuclear waste from the Los Alamos National Lab. In our monthly E-Currents, a bulletin delivered to you by email, we offer practical advise about personal water conservation practices, while we train our organizational eyes on predicted future impacts from climate change. We are working to envision the best possible pathways for resilience in the face of those impacts. You can read about our many accomplishments over the past two decades by going to www.amigosbravos. org. Our accomplishments signify Amigos Bravos’ commitment, resourcefulness, and staying power in dealing with the critical issues facing us all. Thanks to the support we receive from our members and foundations – along with the talent, integrity, sense of humor, and dedication of our staff and board of directors – we get the job done (and have fun while we are at it!). This organization is your organization. Amigos Bravos and the work we are able to accomplish could not be done without you. As we face new challenges, we invite you to continue to increase your participation. We welcome your volunteer involvement and we need your financial investment to protect and restore New Mexico’s waters. As a dedicated member of Amigos Bravos, you are truly making a difference. For the Río – Peggy Nelson, President and Brian Shields, Executive Director THE RIVER TELLS A STORY — THE YEAR IN REVIEW October 2010 - September 2011 2011 HIGHLIGHTS Historic Citizen Lawsuit Against Los Alamos National Lab Mandates Cleanup In one of the most significant victories in our 23-years, Amigos Bravos settled a Clean Water Act (CWA) citizen lawsuit against Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) that requires LANL to stop toxic stormwater runoff from reaching the Rio Grande. The settlement mandates cleanup of over 400 legacy waste dumps within five years, and provides resources for us and our partners to monitor LANL’s implementation of new safeguards and their compliance with the court-ordered CWA settlement. Legal counsel for Amigos Bravos and our partners was provided by the Western Environmental Law Center. New Mexico Supreme Court Recognizes Amigos Bravos’ Right to Defend the State’s Waters In January 2011, the New Mexico Supreme Court gave Amigos Bravos an important victory in our efforts to hold Governor Martinez’s administration accountable to the rule of law. Within hours of taking office, the Martinez administration illegally blocked new safeguards that protect the air we breath and the water we drink. In quick and dynamic response, Amigos Bravos and a coalition of groups represented by the New Mexico Environmental Law Center petitioned the Supreme Court to intervene. In the Amigos Bravos vs. Martinez decision, the Court determined that the Martinez Administration had abused basic separation of powers principals and mandated that the new greenhouse gas and dairy rules be published in the state register immediately so that they could start to take effect. In two additional precedent-setting cases, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled that Amigos Bravos has a right to defend public interests in clean water, thus guaranteeing that right to all citizens and citizen organizations. In response to industry attacks on the environment, the Supreme Court decision gave us the right to intervene in court proceedings to defend attacks on new rules approved at the end of 2010. One of those rules sets greenhouse gas emission limits (which the Martinez Administration hopes to overturn), and the other rule designates rivers, streams, and wetlands as “Outstanding National Resource Waters” (ONRWs). Legal counsel for these two cases was provided by the Western Environmental Law Center and EarthJustice. Additional Achievements The Amigos Bravos Strategic Plan consists of three goals: Restore Watershed Health, Hold Polluters Accountable, and Build a River Protection Movement. RESTORING WATERSHED HEALTH • Dairy Regulations – Amigos Bravos and our partners successfully ensured that NM’s first dairy industry-specific rules aimed at protecting groundwater include the two most important protections: monitoring wells and synthetic liners for manure waste lagoons. The new rules were developed through intense negotiations between the dairy industry, the Martinez Administration, and a coalition of citizen groups • Albuquerque Stormwater – Amigos Bravos was appointed to Albuquerque’s Citizen’s Blue Ribbon Committee – as the environmental representative on the Committee – to help develop recommendations for controlling stormwater runoff. The City’s stormwater program is hopelessly underfunded and understaffed (it has 1.5 full-time staff while comparable cities have 8-15 full-time staff) and polluted runoff from the city is currently being illegally dumped into the Rio Grande • Pharmaceuticals in the Middle Río Grande – We recommended changes to NM’s Solid Waste rule to make it easier for local jurisdictions to administer “take-back” and pharmaceutical disposal programs; we continue to inform the public and public officials about the environmental and public health impacts of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds • Water Quality Monitoring in the Taos Area – Together with Water Sentinels of Taos, Amigos Bravos continues to gather water quality data in three Taos rivers – the Rio Fernando, Rio Pueblo, and the Rio Hondo – all of which are showing evidence of E-coli contamination. The New Mexico Environment Department approved our data and will be devoting resources to cleaning up the impaired waters • Rio Pueblo de Taos Watershed Restoration Plan – With a grant from the New Mexico Environment Department, Amigos Bravos is working with numerous volunteer community members and experts to develop a plan aimed at reducing water temperature and controlling sediment runoff on the Rio Pueblo de Taos • New Mexico Water Policy – Amigos Bravos provided comments, proposed changes, and presented testimony on numerous state water regulatory and planning documents, including the new state Hydrology Protocol, the Statewide Water Quality Management Plan, and regulations governing section 401 state certification of Clean Water Act permits. Many of our proposed policy changes were incorporated into the final documents HOLDING POLLUTERS ACCOUNTABLE • Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) – Since settling our citizen lawsuit, Amigos Bravos and its partners continue to watchdog LANL operations and have hired experts to ensure LANL’s compliance with its new discharge permit. In addition, we gathered information on impacts to the Rio Grande after the “Las Conchas” fire • Molycorp/Chevron Mining – In December 2010, EPA released a Superfund-mandated cleanup plan that will cost an estimated $400-800 million, far more than the financial assurance bond the mine originally posted. We continue to watchdog activities at the mine and fight to stop unauthorized discharges and seepage from the tailings facility that is polluting the Red River • Mt Taylor Mine – Working with MASE and the NM Environmental Law Center, Amigos Bravos successfully petitioned for a public hearing on a Standby Permit request for the Mt Taylor uranium mine, but the state’s hearing officer blocked all of our expert testimony at the request of the mine operator’s lawyers; we are appealing the resulting decision, which seriously undercuts citizen participation • Public Lands – Every year Amigos Bravos reviews and comments on plans and projects proposed for public lands administered by BLM and the Forest Service. In 2011, we advocated for protecting water resources from off-road vehicles and logging in the upper Red River watershed, provided recommendations for BLM’s Resource Management Plan and appealed two Carson National Forest Travel Management Plans (ie. ATV routes) BUILDING A RIVERS MOVEMENT FOR THE FUTURE • Youth Water Quality Monitoring – In 2009 and 2010, Amigos Bravos coordinated a water quality monitoring project with two high schools in the South Valley of Albuquerque. Rio Grande HS incorporated the project into its curriculum across multiple subject areas and in Fall 2011 we provided water quality workshops to 500 students • Southwest Rural Policy Network (SWRPN) – Amigos Bravos has worked with the SWRPN for four years to develop water-related policies that sustain rural communities. In addition, Amigos Bravos is organizing Clean Water Act and water quality monitoring training in rural community organizations in New Mexico and Arizona • Environmental Alliance of New Mexico (EANM) – Working with the EANM, Amigos Bravos helped block all efforts at environmental and public health rollback in the 2011 Legislature. We also worked with allies and the media to expose efforts to eliminate protections for the public’s health and the health of New Mexico’s watersheds • Clean Water Circuit Rider – Amigos Bravos’ long-running program continues to provide valuable technical and organizational assistance to individuals and communities FINANCIAL REPORT FY 2011 Fiscal Year 2011 (October 1, 2010 – September 30, 2011) – Amigos Bravos ended its fiscal year September 30, 2011 with a slight increase in net assets, even though revenues were slightly down. Amigos Bravos is protecting its long-term financial viability through rebuilding its Capital Reserve Fund and the Amigos Bravos Friends of the Wild Rivers Endowment Fund and planned giving campaign, which is housed at the New Mexico Community Foundation and the Taos Community Foundation.

Photo by Kenneth Seal VISION We have a vision of New Mexico’s rivers and streams running so clear and clean that you can bend a knee to the water, cup your hands and drink without fear. Realizing this vision – which was a reality in northern New Mexico only one lifetime ago – requires the wisdom, knowledge and participation of all New Mexicans in the effort to address social and political pressures poisoning our waters. MISSION It is Amigos Bravos’ mission to return New Mexico’s rivers and the Río Grande watershed to drinkable quality wherever possible and to contact quality everywhere else; to see that natural flows are maintained and where those flows have been disrupted by human intervention to see that they are regulated to protect and to reclaim the river ecosystem by approximating natural flows; to preserve and restore the native riparian and riverine biodiversity; to support the environmentally sound and sustainable traditional ways of life of indigenous cultures; and to ensure that environmental justice and social justice go hand-in-hand.
