Further investigation is underway because of the
confirmed use of firefighting foam at OLF Summerdale.
As part of the Preliminary Assessment of OLF Summerdale,
one area has been identified as a confirmed PFAS release area.
The findings will be included in a Preliminary Assessment
Report, which should be finalized in 2021.
Due to the identification of a confirmed PFAS release area,
the Navy is preparing to conduct drinking water well
sampling in a designated area at OLF Summerdale in summer 2021.
The sampling area is shaded purple on the map.
The sampling area was established based on the
location of the confirmed PFAS release area 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 PFAS release area.
The Navy is asking to sample drinking water wells only
in this area.
If your water is provided by the East Central Baldwin Water Authority,
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.
