AF to conduct follow-on sampling, launch remedial investigation at Wurtsmith

Former Fire Training Area #2 was operated at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan, from 1958-1991. The training area where the base conducted weekly fire training exercises is a known release location of AFFF - a firefighting agent used to extinguish fuel fires. Pictured above is the 115-foot diameter circular pit constructed with six-inch thick reinforced concrete and underlain by polyethylene sheeting. Building in the background houses a pump and treat remediation system the Air Force installed in April 2015 to cut off contaminant discharges into nearby Clark’s Marsh.
