Regulatory Documents
Ground Water Quality Bureau Discharge Permit #1839 Issued Final
The NMED Ground Water Quality Bureau (GWQB) issued a final discharge permit discharges via Class V underground injection control (UIC) well(s). The permitted discharge is limited to treated effluent associated with the interim measure to treat EDB-impacted groundwater.
NMED and USAF Sign Agreement to Reimburse State for Regulatory Activities
The New Mexico Environment Department and U.S. Air Force have executed an agreement worth $750,000 to fund the continuing regulatory activities associated with clean-up of the jet fuel leak at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque.
