Navy to Give Update on PFAS Site Inspection
Residents and other interested parties in the vicinity of Naval Air Station Patuxent River and Webster Outlying Field are invited to attend a virtual Restoration Advisory Board meeting for an update on the US Navy’s site inspection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from 6 to 7 pm April 28, 2021.
The Navy has developed a protective policy to assess certain PFAS on and in the vicinity of installations which have known or potential releases of these compounds into the environment; these are compounds frequently found in fire-fighting foam, or aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), and various industrial and consumer products.
The meeting format will include a brief on the site inspection results and a question-and-answer session with representatives from the Navy, the US Environmental Protection Agency, and the Maryland Department of Environment.
