The Navy, in coordination with the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), released the first round of groundwater monitoring results from samples collected in December. Results are available on the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Safe Waters website at www.jbphh-safewaters.org, on the AFFF Assessment page of the Environmental page. Results will be updated as validated data is received.

Groundwater monitoring wells were tested in accordance with a PFAS-Specific Sampling and Analysis Plan approved by DOH in December that outlined the Navy’s sampling strategy. Collected data is being used to determine the extent of contamination related to the release event and if further remediation is required at the site.
