As COVID-19 health-protection measures evolve nationwide to ensure public safety, the Navy Base Realignment and Closure Program Office (BRAC) will take action to help support the communities where our sites are located. BRAC has issued a Stop Work Order on all non-essential fieldwork at its sites in the San Francisco Bay Area. This will prevent any potential contact between BRAC staff, contract employees and the public.

BRAC is also evaluating the necessity to reschedule fieldwork elsewhere on a site-by-site basis. Our primary responsibility is to ensure the health and safety of Navy staff, contract employees and the public in those communities where our sites are located and to do our part to help stop the spread of the virus. If you have any questions, please call or email the Navy contact listed for the particular site of interest on our website.

Until further notice, the Navy Base Realignment and Closure Program Office will suspend hosting all public meetings as a safety precaution due to the COVID-19 virus. We want to protect the communities who work with us, our staff, and the greater community. Please continue to check our website for new information about Navy-site environmental cleanup efforts in your community. If you have any questions please, call or email the Navy point of contact listed on the site page of interest.

NAS South Weymouth – The Navy has completed this September 2019 ESD which changes the selected remedy outlined in the December 2011 ESD to the 2010 Record of Decision (ROD) to remove the Land Use Controls (LUCs) established in the December 2011 ESD related to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). The LUCs established in the December 2011 ESD are no longer necessary because groundwater use at the Hangar 1 site is now restricted by the LUCs outlined in the February 2018 Basewide PFOS and PFOA Land Use Control Implementation Plan (LUCIP).
