Abstract

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 from liquid waste lagoons at the landfill and fuel releases at the refinery. Water quality and groundwater elevation data from sampling locations at the landfill and the refinery are included in the database. LAGBRD was compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, which operates the Lee Acres Landfill, in order to facilitate future studies into the characteristics of groundwater contamination and background geochemistry at the landfill and refinery sites.
