Material Disposal Area (MDA) C, SWMU 50-009, Remediation
September 7, 2023 – The New Mexico Environment Department issued a Statement of Basis for the selection of a remedy for corrective action at Material Disposal Area C, SWMU 50-009, at Technical Area 50. For maximum protection of human health and the environment, NMED is proposing to select a remedy for MDA C that consists of waste excavation, characterization, and appropriate disposal of the hazardous waste. The selected remedy will also include an active and passive soil-vapor extraction (SVE) system to remove the VOC contamination present in the soil pore gas, and plume monitoring and institutional controls.
The public comment period began on September 7, 2023, and will end at 5:00 pm MDT on November 6, 2023. Public comments received during the comment period will be considered by NMED in selecting the final remedy.
