The Pensacola News Journal reported that a group of Civilian and military environmental specialists are preparing to collaborate on a huge clean up of polluted sites at Naval Air Station Pensacola.
"Most of the chemicals or contamination came from past industrial processes and operations," said environmental engineer Greg Campbell, project manager of the Pensacola NAS Restoration Program.Many sites are set to be rehabilitated, including Scrap Bins, Radium Spill Area, Supply Department Outside Storage Area, Radium Dial Shop Sewer, Complex of Industrial Buildings, Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant Sewer Line, and the North Chevalier Field Disposal Area site.
"Most of it is contamination that occurred before the environmental rules came out. People used to dump stuff wherever," Campbell told the News Journal.
