Alerts
The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, has been detected at Holloman Lake, located near Alamogordo. The New Mexico Department of Health encourages anyone who consumed or captured wildlife from Holloman Lake between 2010-2024 to contact their healthcare provider should they have any concerns. Hunting and fishing are not permitted at Holloman Lake; however, the lake remains open for birding and camping. For more information, please refer to the New Mexico Environment Department’s report regarding PFAS at Holloman Lake or NMDOH’s health advisory.
