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

(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 Report a typo
