Fort Sill, a military installation in Oklahoma, has begun to request testing of private wells on the property surrounding the area. After discovering traces of PFAS in nearby groundwater, the installation is working to ensure nobody is ingesting these hazardous chemicals. They began mailing local landowners who may own private wells in order to test their water quality. The EPA stated that PFAS are hazardous to an individual\u2019s health at any level exceeding 70 parts per trillion. The army takes the threat even more seriously disallowing any water beyond 40 parts per trillion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fort Sill Environmental Chief Glen Wheat leads the investigation. In a statement to <\/span>Abc 7 News<\/span><\/a> he mentions that the investigation will serve to protect those in and outside of Fort Sill. Preliminary searches through databases fail to show any private wells in the area, though they suspect there may be a few unregistered wells. Chief Wheat claims that there is little reason to worry. Prior testing in the area failed to produce evidence of PFAS, and he holds hope that the result will be the same. In the meantime, the installation continues to await homeowner\u2019s response to their request to test their well water.<\/span><\/p>\n
