Surface and Subsurface PFAS Mobility, Ambient Dust Hazards, and Multiple Exposure Risks at Fort Ord Site 10
Investigating the Disconnect Between the Toxic, Historic Fire Training Area and the 'Campus Town' Project Currently under Construction

This report presents a critical evaluation of localized environmental safety, groundwater resource vulnerability, and multi-pathway exposure risks associated with legacy Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) within the Ord Community water grid and the planned "Campus Town" mixed-use development center.

The purpose of this document is to reconcile independent field screening data with official municipal well logs, public water district records, and federal military cleanup frameworks. Historically, institutional oversight has relied on an exposure model that assumes surficial soils are stable and shallow aquifers are isolated from active municipal drinking water assets.

This report provides empirical evidence directly challenging those baseline assumptions. By demonstrating the chemical mobility of legacy contaminants at Site 10 (the former Fire Training Area and Burn Pit) and mapping the structural vulnerabilities of the regional aquifer network, this brief establishes the presence of completed and highly probable exposure pathways impacting active construction zones, pedestrian commercial nodes, and university facilities alike.
