APPENDIX F<br />

3. SITE HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION<br />

Kirtland AFB is located southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico, adjacent to and east of the Albuquerque<br />

International Airport. The base is within Bernalillo County and has a total area of 52,287 acres.<br />

Kirtland AFB is bounded on the east by the Cibola National Forest, on the south by the Isleta Indian<br />

Reservation, and to the north and west by the city of Albuquerque. The Isleta Indian Reservation land<br />

adjacent to the southern boundary of the base is undeveloped. Another undeveloped parcel of land<br />

(approximately 11,500 acres) owned by the State of New Mexico lies adjacent to the western border of<br />

the southern portion of base.<br />

The mission of Kirtland AFB is diverse and encompasses facets of aviation training, academics, technical<br />

training, supply depot, defense-readiness flying, and research and development. To support these<br />

missions, quantities of petroleum, oils, and lubricants, solvents, and other materials, including<br />

radioisotopes and other radioactive materials, have been used with resultant wastes generated.<br />

Site specific descriptions and maps will be provided in the SHSP.<br />
