Alameda Former Naval Air Station
The Navy tested 30 wells and 16 were found to be above the LHA of 70 ppt. for PFOS/PFOA.
Groundwater was found at 336,000 ppt. That is 4,800 times above the EPA's nonenforceable limit of 70 ppt.

The Alameda Former Naval Air Station is an EPA Superfund Site
The 2,807-acre Alameda Naval Air Station is a closed Navy installation located on Alameda Island, adjacent to the city of Alameda. Solid wastes generated at the site were disposed of in two on-base landfills. All liquid industrial wastewaters generated at the site prior to 1974 were discharged untreated into Seaplane Lagoon and the Oakland Inner Harbor. The Navy, with EPA oversight, has conducted investigations to support development of cleanup decisions for the 35 Installation Restoration (IR) sites.
All liquid industrial wastewaters generated at the site prior to 1974 were discharged untreated into Seaplane Lagoon and the Oakland Inner Harbor. These wastes pose a threat to the surrounding San Francisco Bay aquatic life and a potential threat to terrestrial ecological receptors.

All liquid industrial wastewaters generated at the site prior to 1974 were discharged untreated into Seaplane Lagoon and the Oakland Inner Harbor. These wastes pose a threat to the surrounding San Francisco Bay aquatic life and a potential threat to terrestrial ecological receptors.
Past activities at the base have resulted in a 3-acre plume of mostly dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) contamination at Site 5, with another larger and deeper Dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) plume at Site 4. These plumes pose a potential long-term human health threat from inhalation of volatile vapors and possible ingestion of ground water. Remediating these plumes is challenging. The 110-acre Seaplane Lagoon, which received all liquid industrial installation wastes from 1936 to 1974, resulted in contaminated sediment requiring remediation. Wastes generated at the Site included industrial solvents, acids, paint strippers, degreasers, caustic cleaners, pesticides, chromium and cyanide wastes, waste oils containing PCBs, radium associated with dial painting and stripping, medical debris, and inert and unexploded ordnance.
