Representatives from the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are set to present findings from the Fourth Five-Year Review of the groundwater remedy at the North Railroad Avenue Plume Superfund Site in Española and Santa Clara Pueblo. The meeting will also include staff from the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH), who will listen to health concerns, answer questions, and provide an update on the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s (ATSDR) health consultation report.
The NMED recently confirmed that Las Vegas drinking water remains safe despite concerns about post-fire runoff from the Hermits Peak, Calf Canyon Fire potentially affecting the city's water supply. This assurance comes after careful monitoring by both city officials and NMED.
