Rockhampton Airport (Queensland) – PFAS
As part of the Airservices’ National PFAS Management Program, we are undertaking site investigations to determine the nature and extent of PFAS at Rockhampton Airport. Site investigations have included sampling of soil, groundwater and surface water, using adopted criteria for ecological and human health to assess the levels of PFAS.
A previous limited investigation of the Rockhampton Airport fire training ground confirmed the presence of PFAS in soil, sediment, and groundwater. A subsequent site assessment of all our aviation fire fighting sites at Rockhampton Airport identified likely PFAS migration off-airport.
