Assessment of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Water Resources of New Mexico
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread anthropogenic chemicals that have been in use for the past 70 years. This class of compounds comprises thousands of chemicals including perfluorosulfonates (PFSAs) such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs), and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). As the use of these chemicals has grown so has their ubiquity in...
Lagrangian water quality monitoring of the Animas River: Data release from a sonde-equipped raft sampling campaign that occurred on the Animas River between Trimble, CO to Farmington, NM in June, 2022 Lagrangian water quality monitoring of the Animas River: Data release from a sonde-equipped raft sampling campaign that occurred on the Animas River between Trimble, CO to Farmington, NM in June, 2022
The purpose of this data release is to provide water quality data that were collected during a raft sampling campaign near USGS streamgage 372728107475701 (Animas River at Bakers Bridge north of Durango, CO) to USGS streamgage 09364500 (Animas River at Farmington, NM) between the dates 06/06/2022 and 06/10/2022. Chemical and physical parameters were collected at 1-minute intervals with...
Passive flux meter data from monitoring wells and sentinel wells in relation to the Kirtland Air Force Base Bulk Fuels Facility, Albuquerque, New Mexico Passive flux meter data from monitoring wells and sentinel wells in relation to the Kirtland Air Force Base Bulk Fuels Facility, Albuquerque, New Mexico
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains push-pull test results, Darcy velocity data, and contaminant mass flux data measured in Albuquerque, New Mexico, using passive flux meters (PFMs) in monitoring and sentinel wells associated with the Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) Bulk Fuels Facility (BFF). Push-pull test results were used to correct Darcy velocity data collected at...

Database of water quality and groundwater elevation within and surrounding the Lee Acres Landfill, New Mexico, 1985–2020 Database of water quality and groundwater elevation within and surrounding the Lee Acres Landfill, New Mexico, 1985–2020
This report describes the background information related to and the contents of the Lee Acres-Giant Bloomfield Refinery Database (LAGBRD), which is a compilation of monitoring data collected at the Lee Acres Landfill and the Giant Bloomfield Refinery near Farmington, New Mexico. LAGBRD includes monitoring data from as early as 1985, when awareness was increasing regarding contamination...
