GABRESKI AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE

Questionnaire for Community Involvement Plan

Thank you for agreeing to provide the Air National Guard (ANG) with information about the most effective communication methods regarding your interest in the environmental cleanup activities at the Gabreski ANGB (Air National Guard Base). The Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) focuses on investigating and addressing contamination that occurred in the past due to spills, leaks, or historical practices. In addition, the Air National Guard (ANG) is investigating the use of fire-suppressing materials at the airfield that contained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and the potential need for any cleanup process.

The questionnaire results will be summarized and included in the Gabreski ANGB Community Involvement Plan update to be posted on the Administrative Record (https://ar.afcec-cloud.af.mil/). This questionnaire is voluntary, confidential, and a greatly appreciated community service.
