Restoration Advisory Board

The Navy is seeking community feedback on the cleanup of the former Grumman site in Calverton via a 7-question survey. The next public meeting of the community advisory board is set for Oct. 29.

In making decisions about how to handle groundwater pollution in areas outside the former Naval installation in Calverton, the Navy will continue to rely on a federal health advisory level for PFAS that the EPA abandoned in June because it did not protect human health. No additional drinking water sampling is planned, a Navy project manager said this week.

The second semiannual meeting of the Calverton Restoration Advisory Board will be held virtually on Wednesday, Dec. 14 at 6:15 p.m..

The Navy has "no intentions of dissolving" the Calverton Restoration Advisory Board, according to a Navy spokesman, who said the Navy remains committed to its cleanup responsibilities at the former Grumman manufacturing site.

Navy representatives will discuss their investigation into groundwater contamination on and near the former Grumman manufacturing facility in Calverton during a virtual meeting of the Calverton restoration advisory board Thursday, April 29 at 7 p.m.

Data released by the Navy this week for the first time show significant detections of toxic PFAS chemicals at the southern border of the former aerospace manufacturing site.
