19-13-3. Administration of act.
Administration of the Geothermal Resources Act [19-13-1 to 19-13-28 NMSA 1978] shall be based on the principle of multiple use of state land and resources, and shall allow coexistence of other leases on the same lands for deposits of other minerals, and the existence of leases issued pursuant to the Geothermal Resources Act shall not preclude other uses of the land covered thereby. However, operations under other leases, or for other uses shall not unreasonably interfere with or endanger operations under any lease issued pursuant to the Geothermal Resources Act, nor shall operations under leases issued pursuant to the Geothermal Resources Act unreasonably interfere with or endanger operations under any lease issued pursuant to any other law. The Geothermal Resources Act shall not be construed to supersede the authority which any state department or agency has with respect to the management, protection and utilization of the state lands and resources under its jurisdiction.
