The Castle Air Force Base PFAS Lawsuit investigation concerns forever chemicals in drinking water and groundwater in and around the California Air Force Base.
TorHoerman Law is currently investigating a potential Castle Air Force Base PFAS Lawsuit.
On this page, we’ll discuss the Castle Air Force Base PFAS Lawsuit investigation, the levels of PFAS chemicals in groundwater at Castle Air Force Base, the dangers of PFAS chemicals in drinking water and groundwater, health risks linked to PFAS exposure, and much more.
Castle Air Force Base, located in Atwater, California, was a critical Strategic Air Command (SAC) installation that played a pivotal role in U.S. military aviation for nearly 50 years.
Established in 1941 as Merced Army Airfield, the base was renamed Castle AFB in 1948 in honor of Brigadier General Frederick Castle, a decorated World War II pilot.
Throughout the Cold War, Castle AFB served as a bomber and tanker base, housing B-52 Stratofortresses and KC-135 Stratotankers, which were integral to U.S. nuclear deterrence strategies.
The base was also home to the 15th Air Force Headquarters and operated a renowned aircrew training school for bomber and tanker pilots.
As with many military airbases, firefighting training and emergency response exercises at Castle AFB relied heavily on Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), which contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Over decades of use, PFAS contamination seeped into groundwater and soil, raising environmental and human health concerns for military personnel, base workers, and surrounding communities.
Though Castle AFB was officially closed in 1995 as part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program, the long-term impact of PFAS pollution remains a serious issue.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), PFAS levels at Castle Air Force Base are significantly above the 2024 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard for PFAS in drinking water (4 ppt).
Measured in 2020, PFOS levels were 575 times higher than the EPA’s limit, while PFOA levels were 85 times higher than the standard.
The combined PFOS and PFOA levels at Castle AFB were 660 times above the EPA’s threshold.
Legal action is being investigated for individuals, including military service members and others, who were exposed to PFAS contaminated water at Castle Air Force Base and subsequently suffered health problems.
If you or a loved one experienced health effects due to PFAS contamination at Castle AFB, contact us for a free consultation.

Exposure to PFAS in water has led to serious health consequences for many, with individuals experiencing conditions such as cancer, thyroid disease, and immune disorders that disrupt their daily lives and well-being.
PFAS chemicals accumulate in the body, compounding their effects over time and leaving families to deal with the long-term health risks of exposure.
Lawyers are actively investigating the potential for PFAS litigation relating to water contamination at and around military bases in the United States.
Contact us for more information.
Castle Air Force Base, located in Merced County, California, has been identified as a site of serious PFAS contamination stemming from decades of military operations.
Groundwater beneath and around the former base contains dangerously high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are synthetic chemicals used widely in firefighting foams and industrial processes.
These “forever chemicals” are known for their persistence in the environment and the human body, raising major concerns about long-term health and environmental risks.
According to data collected by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), PFAS levels in groundwater at Castle AFB significantly exceed the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), underscoring the urgent need for cleanup and accountability.
According to data collected by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), PFAS levels in groundwater at Castle Air Force Base as of 2020 are as follows:
These concentrations are hundreds of times higher than the EPA’s health-based guidelines of 4 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS, indicating widespread contamination that could pose serious threats to public health and the environment.
The primary source of PFAS contamination at Castle AFB is the historical use of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), a firefighting foam commonly used at military installations to suppress jet fuel and chemical fires.
AFFF contains high concentrations of PFAS chemicals like PFOS and PFOA, which easily seep into soil and groundwater during training exercises and emergency responses.
Over decades of use, this foam was routinely sprayed during fire drills and accident response, resulting in long-term accumulation of toxic chemicals in and around the base.
Maintenance and waste disposal practices at the installation may have contributed to the release and migration of PFAS into local water systems.
Populations most at risk of PFAS exposure at Castle AFB include former military service members, base employees, contractors, and nearby residents who may have relied on private drinking water wells or local public water systems.
Many individuals may have unknowingly consumed contaminated water for years, increasing their risk of developing serious health conditions such as thyroid disease, kidney cancer, immune system disorders, and fertility issues.
Vulnerable groups like pregnant women, children, and people with underlying health conditions face even greater health risks from long-term PFAS exposure.
The proximity of surrounding communities to the base increases the potential for widespread and sustained exposure.
Castle AFB is undergoing environmental investigation and cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), also known as Superfund.
The U.S. Department of Defense, along with the Environmental Protection Agency and state agencies, is responsible for identifying contamination sources, conducting PFAS testing, and implementing cleanup strategies.
Progress has been slow, and community advocates are calling for more aggressive action to remove PFAS from drinking water supplies and prevent future exposure.
Remediation efforts include the installation of filtration systems, monitoring of water quality, and plans to remediate contaminated soil and groundwater.
The contamination at Castle Air Force Base is part of a broader national crisis involving PFAS pollution at military installations across the United States.
As more bases are found to have elevated PFAS levels, concerns continue to grow about the long-term effects on public health, the environment, and water infrastructure.
Castle AFB serves as a case study highlighting the need for federal oversight, corporate accountability, and comprehensive regulation of PFAS compounds.
Legal action, increased funding for cleanup, and stricter enforcement of contaminant levels are essential to address the lasting impact of PFAS pollution on affected communities.
PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a class of synthetic chemicals developed in the 1940s for their resistance to heat, water, and oil.
These compounds have been widely used in a range of industrial and consumer products, including non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, food packaging, and especially in firefighting foams like Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF).
What makes PFAS dangerous is their extreme persistence—earning them the name “forever chemicals”—because they do not break down in the environment or the human body.
Over time, PFAS accumulate in soil, groundwater, and living organisms, leading to long-term contamination and growing concerns about human health and environmental safety.
PFAS chemicals are dangerous because of their toxicity, persistence, and ability to accumulate in the human body and environment.
Once ingested through drinking water or food, PFAS bind to proteins in the blood and can concentrate in organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Scientific studies have shown that even low levels of PFAS exposure can cause serious health issues, and because they do not naturally degrade, these chemicals can remain in the body for years, compounding their effects.
The widespread detection of PFAS in public water systems, particularly near military sites like Castle Air Force Base, underscores their threat to public health.
Exposure to PFAS-contaminated water has been linked to numerous health risks, many of which can develop after long periods of exposure.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other health agencies, PFAS exposure may increase the risk of:
Because PFAS build up in the human body over time, those who were exposed through contaminated drinking water—such as individuals living or working near Castle AFB—may face long-term health consequences that require ongoing medical monitoring.
PFAS contamination has a lasting impact on the environment, affecting soil, groundwater, rivers, and even wildlife.
Once released, these synthetic chemicals can migrate far from their original source, making them difficult and costly to contain or remove.
PFAS pollution harms aquatic life, disrupts ecosystems, and contaminates drinking water supplies, especially in areas surrounding military installations.
Wildlife exposed to PFAS have shown signs of immune dysfunction, reproductive harm, and developmental delays.
The environmental damage caused by PFAS at Castle AFB and similar military sites demands significant remediation and long-term stewardship.
The presence of high PFAS levels in drinking water and groundwater near Castle Air Force Base highlights the urgent need for a coordinated and transparent response.
Despite growing evidence of the health and environmental risks, cleanup efforts have often been slow and underfunded.
Immediate steps are needed to expand PFAS testing, provide medical support for affected individuals, and implement long-term remediation strategies.
Regulatory agencies must enforce stricter limits on PFAS in water systems and hold polluters accountable to protect public health.
Without swift action, PFAS will continue to pose significant risks to communities across the country.
You may qualify for the Castle Air Force Base PFAS Lawsuit if you lived, worked, or were stationed at or near the base and were exposed to contaminated drinking water or groundwater containing elevated levels of PFAS chemicals.
Individuals who later developed health conditions such as kidney cancer, thyroid disease, immune system disorders, or reproductive problems may be eligible to seek financial compensation.
Affected populations may include military personnel, base employees, family members, and residents of surrounding communities who relied on private wells or local water systems impacted by PFAS pollution.
Eligibility is typically evaluated based on the length of time you were in the area, the extent of your PFAS exposure, and any documented medical conditions linked to toxic chemical exposure.
Because PFAS-related illnesses often develop slowly, legal action may still be possible even if symptoms appeared years after the initial exposure.
Consulting with an experienced PFAS attorney can help determine whether your circumstances meet the criteria to join the lawsuit.
Building a successful PFAS lawsuit requires clear evidence linking your exposure to PFAS chemicals at Castle Air Force Base with the health problems you have experienced.
Key evidence may include:
Additional support may come from EPA reports, environmental assessments, and scientific research connecting your condition to PFAS exposure.
A qualified attorney can help gather and organize this evidence to build a compelling claim on your behalf.
TorHoerman Law is actively investigating PFAS contamination claims related to Castle Air Force Base and other military installations, where testing has revealed dangerously high levels of toxic “forever chemicals” in groundwater.
These chemicals—primarily from Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) used during firefighting exercises—have been linked to serious health risks, including kidney cancer, thyroid disease, immune disorders, and reproductive issues.
Our legal team is committed to helping individuals and families who were exposed to PFAS-contaminated water pursue justice and financial compensation.
With extensive experience in environmental litigation and toxic exposure cases, TorHoerman Law is prepared to hold chemical manufacturers, military contractors, and other responsible parties accountable for the harm caused by decades of PFAS pollution at military sites like Castle AFB.

The Castle Air Force Base PFAS Lawsuit focuses on the widespread contamination of groundwater caused by military PFAS chemicals, primarily from firefighting foam used during routine training exercises.
These substances, which were detected under the EPA’s Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR), pose significant long-term health risks to individuals who lived or worked near the base.
The lawsuit seeks justice for those harmed by the military’s use of toxic, unregulated substances that contaminated local drinking water.
Individuals who lived, worked, or served at or near Castle Air Force Base and were exposed to military PFAS through contaminated drinking water may be eligible to file a claim.
Exposure to these chemicals—flagged during UCMR testing—has been linked to severe health risks posed to the general public, including cancer and hormonal disorders.
Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis, considering both location and medical history.
Military PFAS exposure has been connected to a wide range of serious health issues, including kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease, and immune system dysfunction.
These health risks posed by PFAS chemicals were highlighted in data collected through the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule.
Because PFAS accumulate in the body over time, the potential for chronic illness increases with long-term exposure.
To support a Castle AFB PFAS lawsuit, claimants typically need proof of residence or service near the base, medical records showing PFAS-related illnesses, and documentation of PFAS levels identified through UCMR testing.
Evidence connecting exposure to military PFAS sources strengthens the case significantly.
An attorney can help gather this information to demonstrate the health risks posed by the contamination.
A PFAS attorney can help you navigate complex environmental regulations, such as those involved in the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule, and build a case showing your exposure to military PFAS.
They will assess how the health risks posed by the contamination have affected your life and pursue appropriate compensation.
Legal guidance is essential for ensuring your rights are protected against powerful defense and chemical industry interests.
