Questionnaire for Community Involvement Plan

Follow this link to provide the Air National Guard (ANG) information about the most effective communication methods for stakeholders interested in the environmental cleanup activities at the Truax Field ANG Base (ANGB). The Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) focuses on investigating and addressing contamination that occurred in the past due to spills, leaks, or historical practices that are no longer acceptable under today’s environmental regulations. To learn more about the Department of Defense’s Environmental Restoration Program, please click here. In addition to ongoing environmental projects to address other contaminants, the ANG is conducting an investigation and cleanup process to address the use of fire-suppressing materials at the airfield that contained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

The questionnaire results will be summarized and included in the Truax Field ANGB Community Involvement Plan update to be posted on the Administrative Record (https://ar.afcec-cloud.af.mil/). This questionnaire is voluntary, confidential, and a greatly appreciated community service.

                  

State Mission

Wisconsin Air National Guard units, under the order of Gov. Tony Evers, provide protection of life and property, and preserve peace, order and public safety. State missions include disaster relief in times of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and forest fires, search and rescue, protection of vital public services, and defense support to civil authorities.
