Madison, WI – The Dane County Regional Airport (DCRA) Commission will host a community information session on August 4th at 5:30 PM regarding the PFAS remediation process at the airport. Staff from the airport, the county, and the 115th Fighter Wing will present plans and discuss the progress of the remediation effort. Presentations will include an update from the 115th Fighter Wing about the Remedial Investigation (RI) awarded to Truax Field by the National Guard Bureau. A previously scheduled in-person public meeting had been cancelled last year due to the pandemic. Additional community information sessions will be scheduled in the future as the remediation process continues to progress.

The August 4th meeting is being held virtually. The public can access the meeting with the Zoom application or by telephone.
