Welcome to the New Mexico Environmental Finance Center The New Mexico Environmental Finance Center (NMEFC) is a program of the Institute of Engineering Research and Applications (IERA) at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and is dedicated to helping state, local, and tribal governments meet environmental infrastructure needs and regulatory compliance. History of the NM EFC The NM EFC, located in Albuquerque, NM, was initiated in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a pilot initiative of the Environmental Finance Program and was originally housed at the University of New Mexico. Since July 1, 2003 the NM EFC has been affiliated with the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech). The NM EFC was the first such center and its original mission was to assist state and local governments with the "how to pay" issues of environmental compliance and regulation. The NM EFC was established to assist the states of EPA Region 6 (New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana) and the first emphasis of the EFC was public private partnerships (P3). The NM EFC has moved well beyond this original focus to include work in water system capacity development, source water protection, tribal water system compliance, tribal operator certification, water regionalization, drought preparedness planning, arsenic rule compliance, leak detection, and asset management. The NM EFC has also been able to serve states outside of the region under an EPA Office of Groundwater and Drinking Water Contract. New Mexico EFC 2445 Alamo SE Suite 300 Albuquerque, NM 87106 The New Mexico Environmental Finance Center is a program of the Institute of Engineering Research and Applications at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
