ALAMOSA — Toronto- based Lexam Explorations is holding off for now on its plans to explore for natural gas on the Baca National Wildlife Refuge, even though an agreement that prohibited ground- disturbing activity on the land has expired.
Lexam agreed in February not to drill until August, but company vice president Ian Ball said Friday that Lexam will wait until a federal judge rules on environmental groups’ request for a preliminary injunction on drilling.
Ball said Lexam would not start drilling because of the risk that a ruling for an injunction could stop the company’s work.
