Everyone who uses water within Bernalillo County,

This concerns you.  There's always a risk that the KAFB Fuel Spill cleanup could end before it's cleaned up if the Air Force gets the impression that we're not paying attention or that we simply no longer care. Please show up to see how far along this project has come since 2013 and ask questions.  

The Air Force will be hosting an open house for the Kirtland Air Force Base Bulk Fuels Facility leak project on Thursday, July 27, 2023, at the groundwater treatment system facility from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The GWTS is located on Kirtland Air Force Base, with public access provided for this event through the Ridgecrest Gate (Ridgecrest Dr SE & Louisiana Blvd SE , south of Gibson Blvd.)

The July 27 open house at the groundwater treatment system facility is an opportunity to learn about the work being done to remove groundwater contamination caused by a leak at the old base bulk fuels facility, which has since been replaced. Air Force environmental experts will be available at the facility to explain clean-up activities and answer questions.

If you would like additional information, please contact the 377th Air Base Wing Public Affairs office at (505) 846-5991 or by email at 377ABW.PA@us.af.mil.

Please share this notification with others in your community and hope you can join us at the upcoming event!

Thank you.

Yours in community,
Charlie Bennett
