The overall theme of the talk was about a case study on the East Transport Water System which is a public drinking water system. The Portsmouth Regional and Pease International trade water system is owned and operated by the city of Portsmouth. For many years the area was actually an Air Force base where fire retardants were tested in fire training. After the Air Force base was shut down, the property was returned to the community where 250 businesses, some including daycares were established. There were 3 wells, all manifolded and all go to the one Pease site. In May of 2014, PFAS compounds were found near the Air Force base location at Pease. It was 2500 ppt. That well was immediately shut down. Portsmouth water had to supplement that water supply.
