The BDD Board Meeting held on September 5, 2025, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, commenced with a focus on enhancing collaboration with state environmental agencies. The meeting's agenda included discussions on operational relationships and future sampling initiatives.

Peter Hahn from Glorieta Geoscience addressed the board, highlighting recent engagements with the New Mexico Environment Department's Energy Oversight Bureau. He emphasized the importance of rekindling the previously strong operational relationship between the Buckman Direct Diversion (BDD) operators and the oversight bureau. Hahn noted that this collaboration could leverage resources for upcoming sampling events in Los Alamos and Pueblo Canyons.

The board members were informed that the initial discussions were positive, with the oversight bureau expressing openness to future collaboration. A follow-up meeting is scheduled to further explore operational strategies and funding opportunities from the Department of Energy for sampling efforts.

The meeting progressed smoothly, with no additional comments on this topic, indicating a consensus on the importance of these collaborative efforts. The board looks forward to the outcomes of the upcoming discussions and the potential benefits for the BDD operations.
