The Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks Conservation Act would complete the community's vision for the permanent protection of wilderness opportunities within the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks (OMDP) National Monument and the Rio Puerco Watershed Management Program Reauthorization Act would permanently reauthorize the watershed management program and protect the quality of New Mexico’s water.
