It adheres to the Safe Drinking Water Act regulations and includes measures outlined by the State of New Mexico and Air Force guidelines. The base's water distribution system serves a population of approximately 13,000, primarily utilizing groundwater and city water supply. The monitoring plan details requirements for various contaminants, including bacteriological, inorganic, organic, nitrates/nitrites, lead, and copper, which are sampled at specified intervals. Unique Air Force requirements include routine monitoring at childcare facilities for lead contamination. Additionally, the plan includes protocols for analytical methods, and quality assurance, and addresses responses to violations of maximum contaminant levels. Holloman AFB has shifted to groundwater sources post-2012 Little Bear Forest fire, emphasizing the importance of rigorous sampling and analysis to ensure safe drinking water. Proper handling, transportation, and chain-of-custody procedures for samples are critical, ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations. This document reflects the Air Force's commitment to maintaining high drinking water safety standards while responding effectively to environmental changes and potential contamination risks.
