Navy Residential Drinking Well Water Testing Program

PFAS Investigation Navy is requesting permission from citizens within proximity of NAS JRB to sample water from private drinking water wells for certain pre-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS.

• PFOA
• PFOS

Water testing does not apply to those connected to a city water supply. City water supply have been tested free from contaminants.

Residential Drinking Well Water Testing

PFAS Investigation

Navy mailed approximately 3,000 postcards and 200 letters to citizens within Westworth Village, River Oaks, Fort Worth and White Settlement, explaining what PFAS compounds are, where they came from, health effects, why we are testing, and to request their permission to test their ground water drinking wells.

Residential Drinking Well Water Testing What is PFAS? Where did it come from?

• PFAS are man-made chemicals found in

industry and consumer products dating back to the 1950s.

• It’s used in nonstick cookware, water-repellent

clothing, stain resistant fabrics, carpets, as well as certain cosmetics; and firefighting foam.

Residential Drinking Well Water Testing

EPA makes health advisory.

• In 2016 EPA established health advisory

for PFOA and PFOS based on agency assessment of peer-reviewed science.

• Department of Defense begins fact-

finding mission for known release sites and starts well water testing program.

• Aug 2019: DoD task force states that 401

active and former installations with at least one area of known or suspected release of PFOA/PFOS are identified.

Residential Drinking Well Water Testing

Where did PFAS on Carswell/NAS JRB come from?

• The most common military activity that could

have resulted in historical release of PFOA and PFAS is the use of firefight foam (aqueous film forming foam or AFFF). Sources:

• Aircraft fires.
• Fire fighting training.
• AFFF unintended release.
• AFFF storage.

AFFF with PFAS compounds use dates back to 1970. However, no longer used.

Known or suspected know areas: Aircraft crash sites, AFFF release and storage areas dating back to 1970

How might PFAS exposure affect people’s health?

• “At this time scientists are still learning about how

exposure to PFAS might affect people’s health.

• Some scientific studies suggest that certain PFAS

may affect different systems in the body.

• Although more research is needed, some studies

in people have shown that certain PFAS may:

– Affect growth, learning and behavior of infants and older children. – Increase cholesterol levels.

– Affect the immune system. – Lower a woman’s chance of getting pregnant. – Increase the risk of certain types of cancer.”
