Contractors with Brice Construction Ltd. deploy an air rotary drilling rig as part of a pilot study civil engineering project during a per- and polyfluoroalkyl remedial investigation Nov. 18, 2021, at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico. In May 2021, the USAF awarded a $16.6M contract for an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis, or "EE/CA," with a pilot study to evaluate and determine the appropriate interim responses to implement while the investigation is ongoing. In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act framework, an EE/CA is required to satisfy environmental review requirements for interim responses. — 211118-F-AC305-1252

An aquifer flow rate testing site stands ready for water collection as part of a pilot study civil engineering project during a per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) remedial investigation Nov. 18, 2021, at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico. A $16.6M contract awarded to Cannon AFB in May 2021 enabled the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) to accelerate PFAS remedial investigation efforts with a pilot study of the aquifer beneath the installation, located near Clovis, New Mexico. Once the remedial investigation is complete, the Department of the Air Force will share the results with regulators for review and feedback, and the final report will be posted to the AFCEC Administrative Record at https://ar.afcec-cloud.af.mil/. — 211118-F-AC305-1111
