The document outlines an annual schedule for monitoring water quality through the collection of various environmental samples from 2025 to 2030. It lists specific sampling requirements categorized by various CLINs (Contract Line Item Numbers) for total coliform, lead, copper, nitrates/nitrites, fluoride, TTHM/HAA5, and additional special samples associated with each year. Each year includes a monthly requirement of 15 total coliform samples and unique sets of other assays necessary to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. The data reflects a structured approach to systematically assess and ensure water safety across multiple jurisdictions over several years, aligned with federal guidelines. This monitoring framework is essential for maintaining public health standards by monitoring water contaminants and ensuring the safety of drinking water. The document serves as a critical component in response to federal and state RFPs and grants, reinforcing the government's commitment to environmental safety and public health oversight.

The Environmental Sampling, Analysis, and Monitoring (ESAM) plan for drinking water at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico aims to comply with both state and federal regulations governing drinking water quality. It outlines the monitoring requirements, including bacteriological, inorganic, organic, and radiological contaminants, ensuring that water drawn primarily from 16 groundwater wells meets safety standards. The document details specific sampling and analytical methods, ensuring quality assurance and control measures are maintained. It specifies the need for regular testing of contaminants like lead, copper, disinfection byproducts, and emerging pollutants such as PFOS/PFOA. Furthermore, in the event of maximum contaminant level violations, specific protocols for response and notification of stakeholders are stated. This comprehensive plan facilitates protection of public health and supports regulatory compliance, demonstrating the Air Force’s commitment to maintaining safe drinking water for the base population of approximately 13,000 people. The structured approach covers sampling schedules, analytical methods, and stringent quality checks, emphasizing thorough oversight and diligent risk management for effective water quality surveillance.
The "Statewide Water Quality Management Plan and Continuing Planning Process" (WQMP/CPP) outlines New Mexico's framework for managing water quality in compliance with federal and state regulations. It is designed to identify and address water quality challenges, such as those posed by climate change, stormwater runoff, and the need for updated water quality standards. The document emphasizes intergovernmental cooperation among various agencies, including the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the Water Quality Control Commission (WQCC), ensuring responsibilities are effectively delegated and managed. The plan includes mechanisms for monitoring surface water quality, establishing surface water quality standards, managing nonpoint source pollution, and integrating effluent limitations. The WQMP/CPP also underscores the importance of public participation in water quality management, requiring outreach efforts and regulatory compliance from municipalities and industrial dischargers. Notably, it highlights the state's lack of authority to regulate certain waters due to federal rule changes. Overall, the WQMP/CPP serves as a comprehensive resource for maintaining and improving New Mexico's water quality, ensuring adherence to both the Clean Water Act and the state's Water Quality Act while addressing significant environmental challenges through collaborative efforts.
