An action against the Downs at Albuquerque Inc. and EXPO New Mexico was issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to stop the discharges of animal waste, industrial run-off and other pollutants into the Rio Grande.

The New Mexico Environmental Department (NMED) conducted an on-site inspection on November 15, 2011 and found that the facility did not have a properly designed storm water runoff containment structure and also did not have a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit that allows facilities to discharge to U.S. Waters.

Leland's case brought heavy scrutiny on the state agency Children Youth and Families after his father said he had reported his son had been abused before.

The vigil will happen Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church in Nambe.
