About this file
This document is a Checklist of Environmental Requirements for Proposed Projects at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), effective June 1, 2025, serving as a comprehensive guide for contractors and project proponents regarding environmental compliance obligations.
The checklist addresses environmental requirements across multiple program areas: Toxics (asbestos, lead-based paint, silica dust); Air Quality (fugitive dust control permits, boiler permitting, refrigerant compliance, generator permits, building renovation/demolition); Hazardous Waste (contractor projects, in-house projects, training events); Hazardous Materials (identification and management for contractors, deployments, and self-help projects); Integrated Solid Waste (disposal reporting, furniture/equipment, construction/demolition debris); Spill Response; Water Quality (septic systems, stormwater pollution prevention, wastewater discharge, HVAC systems, lift stations); Tanks (transformers, above/underground storage tanks); Natural Resources (tree removal, outdoor activities, electrical equipment, digging/trenching); Cultural Resources (historic properties, inadvertent discoveries); and Miscellaneous requirements (ground disturbance permits, siting, UXO awareness, environmental baseline surveys, RF EMR evaluation, radioactive materials, drinking water protection, laser operations, radon testing, ammunition/explosives testing, generator sizing). Key contacts are provided for each program area, and specific timelines are identified—such as five weeks advance notice for Fugitive Dust Control permits, six months for air quality permits, and nine weeks for EPA Notice of Intent approval. The document includes mandatory forms: Contractor Hazardous Material Worksheet, Hazardous Material Inventory Sheet, Spill Response Reporting Form, and a Memorandum on Regulated Asbestos Waste disposal. Compliance is mandatory for all projects, with particular emphasis on contractor accountability for waste characterization, hazardous material inventory management, and removal of excess materials upon project completion.

Kirtland AFB Checklist of Environmental Requirements for Proposed Project
Note: Listed requirements are subject to change for compliance with statutory/regulatory policies. To avoid project delays, proponents are strongly encouraged to confirm with the NEPA Office that no new guidance applies prior to project inception.
Toxics POC: Mr. Dan Gates @ 505-918-5352/505-846-2102, or via e-mail: daniel.gates.7.ctr@us.af.mil
Tx1
Asbestos: Due to the age of the building, asbestos-containing material (ACM) may be present. NO RENOVATION/DEMOLITION SHALL BEGIN PRIOR TO CE APPROVAL OF AF FORM 332 AND ASBESTOS SAMPLING, AS REQUIRED. If suspected ACM is encountered and will be disturbed, then asbestos abatement of the area to be renovated must be completed prior to starting the proposed work on the building. NESHAP Notification to the Albuquerque Environmental Health Department Air Quality Division (AEHD AQD) in accordance with 20.11.20.22 NMAC is required for ACM disturbance. Additional guidance and forms can be found at the City of Albuquerque’s website: https://www.cabq.gov/airquality/air-quality-permits/asbestos-program. All asbestos waste leaving Kirtland AFB must follow the requirements in the attached Memorandum for Record, Guidance for Generation and Disposal of Special Waste on Kirtland Air Force Base. For asbestos-related emergencies, please contact the CE Help Desk at 505-846-8222.
Tx2
Lead Based Paint (LBP): Due to the age of the building, LBP may be present; files are available for review. Contact Toxics Program POC to coordinate access to files. If suspected LBP is encountered and will be disturbed, LBP sampling should be performed by the contractor with abatement as necessary prior to commencing the proposed work on the building. Waste generated from LBP abatement may qualify as RCRA-regulated hazardous waste. Ensure abatement activities are conducted in accordance with HW1 of this checklist. Coordinate with Toxics Program POC.
Tx3
Silica Dust Generated by Masonry, Concrete and/or Asphalt Work: The Silica Dust standard (29 CFR 1926.1153) requires employers limit worker exposures to respirable crystalline silica and take appropriate steps to protect workers. Employers can either use engineering control methods laid out in the construction standard of the regulation, or they can measure workers’ exposure to silica and take the appropriate steps to limit workers exposures to the permissible exposure limit (PEL) as defined in the regulation.
