Further investigation is underway because of confirmed
uses of firefighting foam at OLF Brewton.
As part of the Preliminary Assessment of OLF Brewton,
two areas have been identified as confirmed or potential
PFAS release areas.
The findings will be included in a Preliminary Assessment
Report, which should be finalized in 2021.
Due to the identification of confirmed and potential PFAS
release areas, the Navy is preparing to conduct drinking
water well sampling in a designated area at OLF Brewton
in summer 2021.
The sampling area is shaded purple on the map.
The sampling area was established based on the
location of the confirmed and potential PFAS release areas
on-base and groundwater flow direction, shown with dark blue
arrows on the map.
The area includes all properties located within a
mile of the OLF boundary in the direction the groundwater flows
away from the confirmed and potential PFAS release areas.
The Navy is asking to sample drinking water wells only
in this area.
If your water is provided by Riverview Water Works, the Navy
is not asking to sample your drinking water.
The Navy may expand the sampling area based on the
results of the summer 2021 sampling of drinking water wells.
