    Request for Action to

    New Mexico Legislative Water & Natural Resources Committee

    Presented on Behalf of Our Endangered Aquifer Group

    By Dave McCoy, Executive Director, Citizen Action New Mexico

    I will discuss two sites contaminating Albuquerques drinking water

    supplies Sandia National Laboratories Mixed Waste Landfill dump

    and the Kirtland Air Force Base aviation gas and jet fuel spill. Both

    sites show the danger of not doing timely and reliable groundwater

    monitoring and cleanup before contamination reaches the drinking

    water. At KAFB the fuel spill was discovered in 1997. It wasnt until

    2006 that monitoring was performed that detected jet fuel floating onthe aquifer at 500 ft deep.

    I. The Mixed Waste Landfill is technically not a landfill, but is a 2.6 acre

    Cold War waste dump at Sandia National Laboratories located within the

    boundaries of Kirtland AFB.The dump operated from 1959 to 1988 to

    receive radioactive and hazardous wastes from nuclear weapons production.

    Sandia intends to leave these wastes about one mile from the childrens

    park for Mesa del Sol. There are 119 barrels of long lived plutonium

    wastes contained in the dump along with tons of depleted uranium,

    tritium, lead, beryllium, and solvents PCBs, PCE. Wastes are

    haphazardly dumped in 55-gal drums, bottles, cardboard boxes and

    plastic bags in shallow unlined pits and trenches above ABQs drinking

    water aquifer.

    This is a dump that could be cleaned up now to avoid major aquifer

    contamination.

    There has never been a groundwater monitoring network that

    provided reliable data. In 1989 four groundwater monitoring wells

    were installed at the dump.

    Shortly after the regulatory agencies all knew that the groundwater

    monitoring wells were put in the wrong locations at the MWL dump, that

    the wells had corroded well screens and were contaminated with

    Bentonite clay that hides evidence of contamination.

    The defective monitoring wells were allowed to remain in place.

    In 2005 based on the false monitoring data, Sandia obtained a decision

    from the NMED to leave the wastes under a dirt cover.

    A 2006 TechLaw report criticized the dirt cover but it was kept secret

    from the public until 2009.

    In 2007 Citizen Action and Registered Geologist Robert Gilkeson filed acomplaint with EPA Region 6 that the monitoring well network was

    defective.

    In 2010 the EPA Inspector General reported that EPA Region 6 technical

    staff agreed with many of our concerns that the monitoring network was

    defective.

    The MWL dump wastes have already begun to enter the groundwater.

    Nickel, chromium, cadmium and nitrates are in the groundwater. Cancer

    causing volatile organic solvents are moving deeper beneath the MWL

    dump. The NMED 2005 Final Order (Curry) required Sandia Labs to make a

    review every five years about the feasibility for excavation of the MWL

    dump and the suitability of the dirt cover.

    NMED is planning on approving a Long Term Monitoring and

    Maintenance Plan without a public hearing and without performance of

    the 5 year review.

    The Committee should draft a memorial that includes the following

    actions for the Mixed Waste Landfill dump:

    1. Perform the 5- year review for the MWL Dump mandated by the NMED

    May 26, 2005 Final Order for the MWL Dump. The 5 year review is 2

    years overdue and NMED plans to delay another 5 years.

    2. NMED should postpone approval of the Long-Term Monitoring and

    Maintenance Plan until after the 5-year review has been completed and a

    public hearing held.

    3. A network of groundwater monitoring wells at the MWL dump thatmeets the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

    (RCRA). The network must be installed in both the fine grained sediments

    and the Ancient Rio Grande strata.

    4. The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) must treat the MWL

    dump as a regulated unit requiring Closure and a Post Closure Plan. This

    2

    is required by 40 CFR 264.90 because the MWL Dump received waste after

    July 26, 1982.

    II. Kirtland Air Force Base Aviation Gas and Jet Fuel Spill Require an

    Emergency Response that Has Not Been Forthcoming.

    Albuquerque has the largest underground chemical contamination

    threatening any citys drinking water aquifer in the history of the U.S. The

    spill is now estimated at 24,000,000 gallons, more than twice the Exxon-

    Valdez spill.

    There is no regulatory emergency response to this spill after 13 years.

    Regulatory authority of the NMED has been politically compromised by AF

    Asst. Secty. Terry Yonkers and Gov. Martinez. Not a single gallon of jet fuel

    LNAPL has been removed since it was discovered floating on the aquifer in

    2006. The jet fuel is now trapped beneath the water table and is dissolving

    into the aquifer. A miles long plume of Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) is

    traveling as an underground river of poison headed for our drinking water tobring kidney, liver disease and cancer.

    1. There is no approved containment plan, no remediation plan, or ongoing

    effort to remove the liquid portion of the jet fuel (LNAPL) and the

    dissolved plume of EDB from Albuquerque's drinking water aquifer.

    2. The ballyhooed Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE), thermal oxidizer and air

    sparging technology cannot remove the LNAPL or the dissolved EDB

    plume to keep it from moving further toward Albuquerques municipal

    wells.

    3. teaspoon of EDB was in every gallon of the millions of gallons of

    spilled Aviation gas. Each tsp can contaminate approximately

    9,000,000 gallons of water.

    4. The ethylene dibromide (EDB) and liquid jet fuel (LNAPL) plumes have

    been allowed to migrate almost completely off the Kirtland base into the

    city of Albuquerque toward the municipal wells.

    5. The full size of the dissolved EDB plume is unknown and there are no

    groundwater monitoring wells close to the city wells. Monitoring the

    municipal wells is inadequate to determine whether the contamination is

    present in the drinking water right now.

    6. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry characterizesEDB breakdown in ground water as hardly at all. The maximum

    contaminant level goal (MCLG) for EDB is zero. However, EPA set the

    MCL at 0.05 g/L because EPA believes, given present technology and

    resources, this is the lowest level to which water systems can reasonably

    be required to remove this contaminant should it occur in drinking water.

    7. The Air Force performance plan is only for expensive studies.

    The Committee should draft a memorial that includes the following

    actions for the Kirtland aviation gas jet fuel spill:

    1. Immediate placement of groundwater monitoring wells as close as

    possible to the Ridgecrest municipal wells. The nearest monitoring

    well is 2,000 ft away.

    2. Begin the investigation for technologies and installation of water

    treatment facilities for the municipal wells including financial

    assurance from the Air Force;

    3. Emergency Remediation Response to halt the further movement of the

    liquid LNAPL jet fuel;

    4. Plan for and install remediation technology now to address the long-term contamination of soils and the aquifer.
