"Prepared July 1983"--cover.
From the 1950's [sic] to 1981 approximately 450,000 vertebrate wildlife, mostly birds, were killed annually in the sump pits of outheast New Mexico. In 1981 the Minerals Management Service (MMS), now a portion of Bureau of Land Management, instituted a cleanup of those pits on Federal lands. The operators either screened them over or filled in the pits. This was about half the pits in southeast New Mexico, the rest being on fee land or lands owned by the State of New Mexico and administered by the Oil Conservation Division. MMS's action saved approximately 225,000 birds and other wildlife annually.
