Kirtland Air Force Base and state environment officials will be updating the public on the cleanup of a massive plume of jet fuel at the edge of Albuquerque.
A public meeting is scheduled Thursday evening.
A pump-and-treat system began operating earlier this month. It's part of a long-term effort to keep the contamination from reaching drinking water wells.
Tons of soil that had surrounded the old pipeline at the fueling station were removed last summer and the Air Force also used a vacuum system to suck vapors from the soil at deeper levels.
State officials say two more extraction wells are expected to be drilled in September to bolster the pump-and-treat system.
First detected in 1999, the fuel leak is believed to have been seeping into the ground for decades.
