Article: Treating PFAS at Camp Greyling
The Military Engineer discusses the in-situ treatment of PFAS at Camp Grayling, the largest National Guard training installation in the United States. The Michigan Department of Military and Veteran Affairs (DMVA) proactively tested an innovative in-situ reactive barrier application of colloidal activated carbon. At the first sampling event, approximately one month after injection, the colloidal activated carbon barrier reduced PFAS to below the standard method detection limit of 10-ng/L in downgradient wells. The barrier has since maintained these PFAS reductions for close to three years now (980 days).

Thirsty to know more about PFAS regulations in your state?
Regulations on PFAS vary by state and continue to evolve. Integral Consulting first developed a map on drinking water regulations in November 2021—now you can see Integral’s latest update, which adds groundwater and surface water regulatory criteria. Integral’s map tracks current and pending enforceable and non-enforceable PFAS regulations on drinking water, surface water, and groundwater. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use PFAS regulatory resource that is current, complete, and loaded with helpful references. The updated map incorporates even more of the great features requested by early users. To learn more and use this new mapping tool, use the link below.
