More tests for chemicals at Navy base Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WESTERN Port residents are awaiting the results of the second stage of a detailed environmental investigation into the presence of carcinogenic chemicals in surface water at HMAS Cerberus, Crib Point. If the tests prove positive to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a health and ecological risk assessment “may” be required, a defence spokesman said. “This assessment will evaluate potential risks to the human population and ecology, and inform actions to mitigate risks.” The second round of testing follows the first stage which reviewed the historic use of firefighting foams at the base to identify PFAS sources, possible runoff routes and plants and animals that could have ingested it. It is believed signs of PFAS contamination were found in surface water samples.

The latest testing will involve sampling and analysing soil, surface water, sediment, groundwater and vegetation on the base and at properties nearby. Soil and groundwater samples have already been taken and bores are being prepared for sampling, the spokesperson said. Further information was collected through a water-use survey of nearby residents and businesses within one kilometre of the base to learn how they used water. “Once the sampling is complete and results are analysed a detailed report will be prepared and shared with relevant government and regulatory bodies as well as the community. The report is expected to be completed mid-2018.” Defence was trialling PFAS management techniques, such as water treatments, drain maintenance, and soil solidification and stabilisation trials, the spokesman said. It is also “monitoring research around the world to ensure that it is aware of new advances in technology and methodology”.

Top marks for project pick-up A SCHOOL project in which pupils choose a community problem and then decide on an action took Kunyung Primary School’s Nathan Beckley to the beach last week. The grade sixer was on a mission: he enlisted the help of 18 family and friends and set about collecting litter – and boy there was a lot of it. Nathan, 12, got the idea for his project: “Exhibition”, from a story in The News about the good work of a Dromana beach clean-up crew and thought the same could be done at Mothers and Shire Hall beaches, Mornington. Nathan, a Cub at 2nd Mornington Sea Scouts, wrote: “My problem is the plastic waste being washed up on our beaches and entangling themselves in animals and rocks.” He drew a poster with details about the clean-up and “got as many people to come as possible”.

In one hour the group collected 28kg of rubbish, including “lots of cigarette butts, pieces of glass, bottles and plastics – and even the end of a skateboard”. The haul will be displayed as part of Nathan’s project at the school on Wednesday 1 November. “We will show a poster and a slide show of all the things we did in the clean-up, what help was provided and what the future needs are,” he said. Beach Patrol Safety Beach/Dromana’s Gary Robertson and Judy Newland posted online: “What an amazing effort and a huge congratulations need to go to Nathan and his school for this initiative.” The clean-ups will become a regular part of the Mornington BeachPatrol3931 under Mornington Environment Association.
