Navy finds two homes near landing field have contaminated wells By Amir Vera Virginian-Pilot March 10, 2016 CHESAPEAKE - High levels of contaminants were found in two drinking wells near Fentress Naval Auxiliary Landing Field, the Navy announced Thursday.

The results announced Thursday showed that two of the 52 off-base wells that had drinking water samples collected last month had levels of perfluorinated compounds that exceeded a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provisional health advisory. The two properties are being provided bottled water for drinking and cookinguntil a solution can be put in place. … For the entire article, see http://pilotonline.com/news/local/health/navy-finds-two-homes-near-landing-field-have-contaminated-wells/article_b8cec1cf-09cd-5502-948a-d2068f25eba8.html -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director, Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center 278-A Hope St., Mountain View, CA 94041 Voice: 650/961-8918 or 650/969-1545 Fax: 650/961-8918 <lsiegel@cpeo.org> http://www.cpeo.org _______________________________________________ Military mailing list Military@lists.cpeo.org http://lists.cpeo.org/listinfo.cgi/military-cpeo.org | |
