Indeed, it's pretty much all the USAF does when it comes to PFAS that they caused. Their outright lie now comes as they claim there's no proof veterans and others had ANY PFAS intake through the water source. The Air Force says no, the experts who have the receipts say YES:
“That’s a flat out lie,” said Bob Delaney, a retired geologist who led the state’s oversight at the former B-52 bomber base for years as site manager for the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE).
In 2016, Delaney authored a report which found high PFAS levels in unflushed hydrants and old water appliances in abandoned buildings at the former base. In 2018, he followed that up with hydrogeological analysis, which concluded old groundwater wells that supplied base drinking water likely drew from an aquifer highly contaminated by toxic plumes.
So, more lies from the Air Force who obviously have given up giving a shit about Oscoda, Wurtsmith and the issue they caused. Unfortunately this repeated insolence from the USAF is really hurting USAF vets around here as they hear again and again what they were part of and that their paymaster won't do anything for the rest of the residents. The Air Force is essentially turning their veterans into second-class citizens in their own town. That's lazy AND sad.
