In response to new national drinking water standards, the U.S. Navy is preparing to address PFAS in private drinking water wells near Naval Air Station Pensacola, Corry Station and Saufley Field beginning in May
The Navy is requesting property owners' permission to sample certain drinking water wells for per- andpolyfluoroalkyl substances
The Navy is also requesting permission to implement "interim actions" to address PFAS in private drinking water wells
which may include connection to public water or installation of drinking water treatment systems
PFAS are a family of thousands of different chemicals that have been widely used in many household and industrial products since the 1940s
Scientific research suggests that exposure to certain PFAS may lead to adverse health outcomes including increased risk of some cancers
reduced ability of the body’s immune system to fight infections
and developmental effects or delays in children
According to a statement from Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command
"The most common activity that could have resulted in the historical release of PFAS to the environment at NAS Pensacola
and Saufley Field is the use of firefighting foam (specifically
PFAS are present in the groundwater at NAS Pensacola
PFAS may be present in drinking water wells located in the direction that groundwater flows away from NAS Pensacola
PFAS have been detected in drinking water wells located in the direction that groundwater flows away from Corry Station and Saufley Field."
PFAS testing: Navy hands out bottled water after Saufley Field well water tests show high levels of PFAS
The Navy invites the public to attend in-person open houses May 5-6 to learn more about its efforts to address PFAS in impacted areas
These meetings will provide information about the sampling process
the updated Department of Defense policy on PFAS
and the Navy’s efforts to address potential impacts to private drinking water wells
and state agencies will be available to answer questions and discuss next steps
"The Navy is committed to transparency and collaboration with local communities on this critical issue," a statement from NAS Pensacola said
the EPA published a final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) establishing nationwide drinking water standards for certain PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act
Operators of public drinking water systems regulated by the NPDWR have five years to meet these standards
DoD published “Prioritization of Department of Defense Cleanup Actions to Implement theFederal Drinking Water Standards for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances under the Defense EnvironmentalRestoration Program,” which describes DoD’s plans to incorporate the EPA’s drinking water regulation intoDoD’s ongoing PFAS cleanups and prioritize actions to address private drinking water wells with the highestlevels of PFAS
the Navy has re-evaluated previous off-base private drinking waterwell results
the Navy is requesting permission to sample private drinking water wells within the samplingarea that have not been previously sampled by the Navy
If your drinking water is provided by a public watersystem
the Navy does not need to sample your drinking water.Letters have been mailed to residents within the sampling area
providing additional details and requestingpermission to test their wells and implement action where necessary.Public websites with downloadable materials will also be available for those unable to attend the open houses
Contact information for Navy representatives and partnering agencies will be provided online and at the meetings

The purpose of the project is to provide reliable and efficient transportation facilities for all users traveling on in the City of Corry by making improvements:
Work will vary on each roadway and will include full-depth pavement replacement
and bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements
Improvements are proposed Route 77 (West Main Street/Union Street) between the intersection with W
Church Street and the intersection with Route 426
The project area is urban and surrounded by residential properties and industrial areas
The average daily traffic (ADT) on Route 77 is approximately 3,300 vehicles per day with 11% truck traffic
Reconstruction work on Route 77 will require a detour
which is expected to be in place for six months
motorists may encounter lane restrictions with traffic controlled by flaggers
Improvements are proposed Route 426 (East Main Street and North Center Street) from the Warren County line to the intersection with Route 6
The project area is urban and surrounded by local businesses
The average daily traffic (ADT) on Route 426 is approximately 6,200 vehicles per day with 7% truck traffic
An approximately one-week detour is proposed for work near the Center Street railroad crossing
The proposed detour uses the same path as the proposed Route 77 detour
Pedestrian detours may be needed during curb ramp construction
Washington Street (Route 2020) from the city line and the intersection with Route 426 and S
Center Street (Route 2029) from the line and the intersection with Route 426
Washington Street is approximately 1,200 vehicles per day with 8% truck traffic
Center Street is approximately 1,500 vehicles per day with 2% truck traffic
Motorists may encounter lane restrictions with traffic controlled by flaggers

(LEX 18) — Bombshell testimony in a Lexington murder trial led to a quick verdict from the jury
admitting he was responsible for the shooting
"We the jury find the defendant not guilty."
This was the response from Jackson's attorney:
"I think the evidence in this case was so tilted towards innocence
that the jury didn't take long to deliberate," Daniel Whitley said
The jury went into deliberations just after 12:45 p.m
word came in that a verdict had been reached
emphasizing the strong sense of relief for Corry's family
he has to go back to jail to get booked out
Whitley calls the outcome in the case a new way of looking at justice
"We're just very grateful that citizens are not coming to the courthouse with these biases against young people and young people of color
That we're able to present the whole entire story...a fair system," Whitley said
Two people died in the shooting: 43-year-old Timonte Harris and 32-year-old Lakeisha Hill
Whitley and Jackson's family have been fighting for Corry's innocence
we've been fighting for this day in court," Whitley said
admitted pulling the trigger of the weapon that killed Harris
"Why are you coming forward?" Wrenn's response
"Because I believe it is the right thing to do."
Whitley says police knew early after the shooting about Wrenn's involvement in the case
"I was somewhat shocked that he would even have to take the stand
They knew what the case was three days after the incident
the police officer talked to my client (Corry Jackson) and said Courtney told us what happened," Whitley noted
In closing arguments that started just after 11:20 a.m
that the prosecution tried to create false perceptions to get a conviction
Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Andrew Gillespie said Jackson was "playing it cool" after the shooting
"I'm asking you all to find this defendant Corry Jackson guilty of murder
for shooting those 17 shell casings that were found
for shooting Timonte in the back as he ran away
Walking away from the scene and lying about it later," Gillespie said
Whitley was asked if a lawsuit is potentially coming against Lexington Police and the city from Corry Jackson
"The police officers in our community do a great job protecting a lot of people
I don't want to give an impression that somehow in this case
"We'll sit down with the family and see if we can move forward
they've known he's been innocent for a long time
I believe the commonwealth will move forward on it to prevent that lawsuit from happening by trying to get a bad conviction
but we'll see what happens in the future," Whitley said
The case concludes with Jackson set to be released from prison tonight
