Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque has documented significant soil and groundwater contamination from firefighting foam use, threatening the Rio Grande aquifer system that supplies much of central New Mexico's drinking water. Cannon Air Force Base in eastern New Mexico has additional contamination affecting the Ogallala Aquifer system.
New Mexico's arid climate and deep groundwater systems create unique remediation challenges, as contamination can persist for extended periods and migrate through complex geological formations. The state's limited water resources make any contamination particularly critical for both municipal supplies and agricultural operations. Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories have potential additional sources requiring investigation and monitoring.
Key Facts
- Kirtland AFB contamination threatens Rio Grande aquifer serving central New Mexico
- Cannon AFB affects Ogallala Aquifer in eastern plains region
- National laboratories create potential additional federal facility sources
State Regulations
New Mexico Environment Department follows EPA guidelines with enhanced monitoring requirements for groundwater systems in arid regions. The state coordinates with Texas and other states on Ogallala Aquifer protection measures.
