RAAF Base Amberley Environmental Investigation, 2017 Water Use Survey

Background

Defence has initiated a program to investigate the nature and extent of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on, and in the vicinity of, some of its bases around Australia. A detailed environmental investigation is currently being carried out at RAAF Base Amberley and nearby areas. The objective of this environmental investigation is to identify the nature and extent of PFAS in the environment from the use of legacy fire-fighting foam, and potential risks to people or the environment.
