Inyokern Airfield
The 1,320.02-acre site is located in Kern County, California, one mile northwest of Inyokern. Improvements included terminals, barracks, a hangar, fueling facilities, 11 underground storage tanks, and ammunition bunkers. Runways, taxiways, hangar, and terminal are in good condition. Two bunkers have been removed, leaving only a concrete foundation. The remaining bunkers are in good condition. Underground storage tanks and associated piping remain. On 15 October 1952 Kern County deeded 44.75 acres to the U.S. Navy, who currently uses the property as a well field for China Lake Naval Weapons Center. Kern County deeded 35.71 acres to private firms for an industrial park. The remaining 1239.56 acres were deeded to the Indian Wells Valley Airport District and are currently used as an airport known as Inyokern Airport

EWG's drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group by the California State Water Resources Control Board, as well as information from the U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History database (ECHO). For the latest quarter assessed by the U.S. EPA (January 2019 - March 2019), tap water provided by this water utility was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards.
Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.
