Dear Neighbor,
The Air Force will be hosting an open house for the Kirtland Air Force Base Bulk Fuels Facility project on Thursday, July 23, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The open house will be held at the Groundwater Treatment System Facility (GWTS) located on Kirtland Air Force Base, with public access provided for this event through the Ridgecrest Drive Gate. Guests will not be required to go through normal security procedures for entry to this event. Civilian ID for adults is required. No weapons or illegal substances will be allowed.
This is an opportunity to learn about the work being done to address and remove groundwater contamination caused by a historical leak at the former Bulk Fuels Facility. The open house will begin at 5 p.m. and will include posters in front of and inside the facility, site tours of the facility, and opportunities to talk with project personnel. Air Force environmental experts will be available at the facility to explain clean-up activities and answer questions.
For more information, please contact the 377th Air Base Wing Public Affairs office at (505) 846-5991 or by email at 377A...@us.af.mil.
