PUBLIC NOTICE

Former Buxton Naval Facility

Previously used defense site

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will host a presentation to provide an update on the ongoing response and to present information on a restoration advisory board. The presentation will be followed by an open session.

The Buxton Naval Facility Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) property was used by the US Navy as a submarine monitoring station. The US Coast Guard later used the property until it was returned to the National Park Service. USACE is conducting a response to remove visibly oil-affected soil and conduct confirmatory soil sampling in areas along the beach and dunes that have reported odors and sheen.

Further actions include complete soil and groundwater sampling in the project area to delineate the nature and extent of oil contamination.

USACE will hold the meeting on November 4, 2024, from 19:00 to 21:00 at the Fessenden Center located at 46830 NC Highway 12, Buxton, NC 27920.
