JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas – The Air Force will host a virtual
public meeting March 17 at 5 p.m. to discuss its on-going actions to address two
perfluorinated compounds — perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid, or
“PFOS/PFOA,” identified at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico.

The meeting is the first of a planned series of quarterly meetings focused on the Air
Force’s response to PFOS and PFOA. Air Force Civil Engineer Center environmental
experts will be available to answer questions regarding these efforts. The Air Force
welcomes and encourages public participation and involvement.

“The Air Force recognizes the concerns of the Cannon community and will use these
public meetings as an opportunity to address any questions and work with the public to
reach its shared goal of protecting human health and the environment,” said Christipher
Gierke, Remedial Project Manager for Cannon AFB.

The Air Force also continues to assess public interest in establishing a Restoration
Advisory Board, or “RAB”, at Cannon AFB. The RAB solicitation was published in the
local newspaper on February 17 and will remain available for public comment until April

3. For more information regarding RABs, please go to
https://www.cannon.af.mil/Environmental/.
A RAB is a working group of local community members, the Air Force, the
Environmental Protection Agency, and other State and local regulators to exchange
information and discuss Air Force environmental restoration activities associated with
Cannon Air Force Base. The RAB is also a forum from members of the community to
provide feedback at certain points throughout the restoration process.
