What it is and who needs it.
What the recycling bond actually covers
New Mexico’s Oil Conservation Division (OCD) permits facilities that recycle or contain oilfield fluids — produced water and similar — and conditions those permits on financial assurance under 19.15.34 NMAC. The assurance stands behind the operator’s obligation to close the facility properly.
The amount is the OCD’s estimate of the cost to close the recycling facility or containment: removing fluids and residue, remediating the site, and restoring it under the rule. It is payable to EMNRD’s Oil Conservation Division and forfeitable if the operator fails to close the site as required.
It is not insurance for you — if the OCD draws on the assurance to close your facility, you remain liable to repay the surety. We issue the amount the division approved on your permit at a flat 3%; confirm that figure on your OCD permit, since closure-cost estimates are facility-specific.
