Kirtland Air Force Base --  Air Force officials delivered three required work plans on remediation of the fuel plume to the New Mexico Environment Department today.
The plans outline the actions proposed by the Air Force and its contractor, Shaw Environmental and Infrastructure, Inc., in response to NMED's letters of April 2 and Aug. 6, to remediate the fuel plume at the bulk fuel storage facility.
The plans address the groundwater investigation; vadose zone investigation; and interim remediation measures, consistent with NMED's requirements. They are available on the Kirtland public website at http://www.kirtland.af.mil.
"The contractor is ready to begin work within 24 hours of NMED approving the plans," said Col. Robert Maness, 377th Air Base Wing commander. "The Air Force shares a common goal with all of our neighbors, including NMED - to remediate the fuel plume as quickly as possible."
