Point Mugu Naval Air Station
Naval Air Station Point Mugu is a former United States Navy air station that operated from 1942 to 2000 in California. In 2000, it merged with nearby Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme to form Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC). At Point Mugu, NBVC operates two runways and encompasses a 36,000 square mile sea test range, anchored by San Nicolas Island. The range allows the military to test and track weapons systems in restricted air- and sea-space without encroaching on civilian air traffic or shipping lanes.
See below for thousands of pages documenting contamination at Point Mugu dating back to 1985. Many of the most sensitive records are not available without filing a lengthy and costly Freedom of Information Act Request, (FOIA).
Point Mugu Naval Air Station
Naval Air Station Point Mugu is identified as a DOD installation with known or suspected releases of PFOS/PFOA, according to a DOD Report to Congress on Aqueous Film-Forming Foam - Nov. 3, 2017. No testing results were made public regarding the base, only that it is likely contaminated with the ”forever chemicals.”
