approximately59,800acres(USAF,2017).TheinstallationislocatedintheTularosaBasin,aclosedbasin
withnosurfacedrainageoutlets,whichisboundedbytheSanAndresMountainstothewestandthe
SacramentoMountainstotheeast.
2.2 SITEHISTORY
Holloman AFB, formerly known as Alamogordo Army Air Field, was initiated as a wartime temporary
facilityin1942.InMarch1947afterabriefinactivationattheendofWorldWarII,theinstallationwas
transferred to the Air Materiel Command (AMC) with the mission of providing facilities and testing of
pilotlessaircraft,guidedmissilesandalliedequipmentinsupportoftheAMCResearchandDevelopment
Program(CH2MHILL,1983).Theinstallationwasrenamedin1948afterColonelGeorgeHolloman,an
earlypioneerinpilotlessaircraftresearch(USAF,2017).In1951,whentheAirResearchandDevelopment
Commandwasformed,HollomanAFBwasplacedundertheguidanceoftheAirForceMissileTestCenter.
Thefollowingyear,theinstallationwasnamedasoneofthedevelopmentcentersoftheAirResearchand
TrainingDevelopmentCommandandbecametheHollomanAirDevelopmentCenter(EbascoServices,
Inc.[Ebasco],1995).In1957,theinstallationwastransferredtotheAirForceSystemsCommand(AFSC)
and was designated as the Air Force Missile Development Center (CH2M HILL, 1983). In 1971, the
installationwastransferredfromAFSCtotheTacticalAirCommand(TAC)withthe49thTacticalFighter
Wingassuminghostresponsibilities.In1977,the479thTacticalTrainingWingwasactivatedatHolloman
andinDecember1980,the833rdAirDivisionwasreactivatedandbecameoperationalatHollomanAFB
(CH2MHILL,1983).HollomanAFBwastransferredfromtheTACtotheAirCombatCommand(ACC)in
June1992(Ebasco,1995).
HollomanAFBiscurrentlyhomeofthe49thwingoftheACC,96thTestGroup,54thFighterGroupand
theGermanAirForceFlyingTrainingCenter.OperationsatHollomanAFBincludemissiletesting,aircraft
and pilot training, operational equipment and systems testing, and aircraft maintenance and storage
(USAF,2017).
2.3 PREVIOUSINVESTIGATIONS

The volume of AFFF used during each training exercise is unknown. Fire training activities
continued at this location until 1990 when training exercises were moved to the current FTA
(BhateEnvironmental[Bhate],2005).

from 5 to 50 feet bgs (NVB, 2009). Groundwater flow at the installation is generally towards the
southwest, with localized influences from variations in topography, the presence of surface water
features, and the amount of rainfall percolation and stream runoff along the western Sacramento
Mountains.InthenorthernandwesternportionsofHollomanAFB,groundwaterflowsmoretothewest
towardtheRitasDraw,MaloneDraw,andLostRiverdrainages(HGL,2015).Groundwaterflowisalso

Groundwater quality in the Tularosa Basin is only of potable quality in the recharge areas in close
proximity to the Sacramento Mountains east of Holloman AFB and becomes increasingly mineralized
towardsthecentralportionofthebasin(NVB,2009).ThePAreportidentifiedthatmost(over70percent)

wells sampled in the vicinity of the former FTA ranged from 22,900 mg/l to 30,600 mg/l and in 2018,
concentrations of TDS in groundwater from monitoring wells installed at the golf course ranged from
8,540mg/lto52,700mg/l(BaerEngineeringandEnvironmentalConsulting,2018).

Notes:
Purple Shaded = Exceeds Screening Level
B = The analyte was found in an associated blank, as well as in the sample.
FD = Field Duplicate Sample
ft = Feet
ID = Identification
J = The analyte was positively identified and the associated numerical value is the approximate concentration of the analyte in the sample.
N = Normal Field Sample
NA = Not applicable
U = The analyte was analyzed for, but was not detected above the reported limit of detection (LOD).
UJ = The reported quantitation limit is approximate and may or may not represent the actual limit of quantitation necessary to accurately and precisely measure the analyte in the sample.
mg/kg = milligrams per kilogram

Purple Shaded = Exceeds Health Advisory
Underlined results exceed the EPA RSL standard. PFOS+PFOA = Co-occurrence of PFOA and PFOS (PFOA + PFOS) in aqueous samples is reported using the following guidelines.
FD = Field Duplicate Sample 1. If both PFOA and PFOS are detected at or above the detection limit (DL), then the sum of PFOA+ PFOS is reported.
ft = Feet 2. If either PFOA or PFOS is detected at or above the DL and the other is below the DL, then PFOA + PFOS is reported as "NA" representing Not Applicable.
ID = Identification 3. If neither PFOA nor PFOS is detected at or above the DL, then PFOA + PFOS is reported as "ND" representing Not Detected.
NA = Not applicable
