Gaya's Note: The PFAS Challenge
PFAS compounds are distinct due to their high solubility and resistance to natural degradation. The investigation at Lecanto Fire Training Center is designed to map exactly how these chemicals move through the local environment after historical usage in fire-fighting drills.

Proposed Investigation
Investigation includes collection of samples across multiple media to further assess the presence of PFAS. Discrete soil boring intervals at 0.0-0.5' and 0.5-2.0' are used to define surface impacts.

Gaya's Note: Remedial Mechanics
Remediation here targets PCE, a common industrial solvent. The site uses a "Pump and Treat" method (GETS) to keep the contamination from moving off-site. The goal of 7,700 μg/L was calculated specifically for this site to ensure long-term public safety.

System Performance
Groundwater is extracted from the former Building W source area to mitigate flow toward Adelaide Avenue. Periodic monitoring of shallow and deep wells tracks the natural and active reduction of VOC levels.
