Navy contracted drillers fill a plastic sleeve with soil from a recently drilled well. A geologist will gather soil samples from this soil core to be tested for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Monitoring well installation occurred on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Aug. 19, 2020. PFAS is man-made chemicals that have been used clothing, food packaging and carpeting. PFAS are man-made chemicals commonly used for clothing, food packaging and carpeting and have the potential to be toxic. Frequent testing is done to ensure drinking water on MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River is safe. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Christian Ayers)
