Five key takeaways:

	• The Navy is asking the community to complete a seven-question survey about the Calverton site cleanup and concerns about its impacts to environment 
	• The next public meeting of the community advisory board has been scheduled for Oct. 29 at Riley Avenue Elementary School in Calverton 
	• The Navy, which is still cleaning up pollution at the former Grumman site in Calverton, is conducting a community survey seeking feedback on site cleanup and remediation activities.
	• The Navy says it is still not prepared to discuss what it will or won’t do about PFAS pollution at the site, because it is still waiting for Department of Defense policy on the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s rule, finalized in April, setting strict maximum contaminant levels for PFAS in drinking water.
	• At the Oct. 29 meeting, the Navy will give “a presentation on buried drums” at the Calverton site.
