But surprises await visitors amid the juniper and pi\u00f1on trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I moved here 30 years ago, you would go to the Bureau of Land Management and ask them about [Glade Run], they\u2019d tell you about the trails,\u201d Eisenfeld said. \u201cBut you didn\u2019t know that within that 50-square-mile recreation area that there\u2019s 500 oil and gas wells.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trails and dirt roads that draw hikers, bikers and ATVs also connect the wells, many of which are only lightly fenced off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are kind of used to our trails weaving through the oil and gas infrastructure,\u201d Eisenfeld said. Even so, \u201cSome of these sites have some pretty dangerous elements to them \u2026 that can include things like emissions exposure to benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene.\u201d All of those chemicals are toxic compounds tied to oil and gas production. He also recounted a story of a young girl who, he said, died when she tried to ride a pumpjack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eisenfeld said he and others have asked the Bureau of Land Management to be more forthcoming about the oil and gas operations within the recreation area, so the public can be aware of the emissions and other dangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recreation area sits in the middle of the San Juan Basin, a large oil and gas field that stretches across northwest New Mexico and up into Colorado. While fossil fuel production has been a major employer and economic driver in the basin for the past century, a recent report from the Bureau of Land Management said that its gas production is in a <a href=\"https:\/\/capitalandmain.com\/oil-and-gas-forecast-for-new-mexicos-san-juan-basin-going-going\">terminal decline<\/a> and that after a short bump, oil production will begin to drop as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work plugging old wells and <a href=\"https:\/\/capitalandmain.com\/new-mexicos-billion-dollar-oilfield-orphans\">reclaiming<\/a> the surrounding land is a constant throughout the basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m hoping that there could be a robust reclamation economy that allows Farmington to prosper to some extent,\u201d Eisenfeld said. \u201cUp here in this area, there\u2019s a vast need for an economy based on cleaning this place up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This story was originally published at <a href=\"https:\/\/capitalandmain.com\/\">Capital and Main<\/a>, a NMPBS partner.
