Further investigation is underway because of potential
uses of firefighting foam at OLF Pace.
As part of the Preliminary Assessment of OLF Pace, one
area has been identified as a potential PFAS release area.
The findings are included in a Preliminary Assessment Report,
which should be finalized in 2021.
Due to the identification of a potential PFAS release area,
the Navy is preparing to conduct drinking water well
sampling in the designated area surrounding OLF Pace
in summer 2021.
The sampling area is shaded purple on the map.
The sampling area was established based on the
location of the potential PFAS release area on-base and
groundwater flow direction, shown with dark blue arrows on
the map.
It includes all properties located within a mile in the
direction the groundwater flows away from the potential
PFAS release area.
The Navy is asking to sample drinking water
wells only in this area.
If your water is provided by Chumuckla Water, 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.
