Third-generation Melbourne market gardener David Wallace is one of dozens of landholders who have been told to stop using water from the Maribyrnong River after toxic chemicals from firefighting foam were detected in runoff from Melbourne Airport.
Now he has been told to stop, after an EPA alert was issued on September 20, following tests for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl chemicals – known as PFAS – at Melbourne Airport and in nearby waterways.
The Department of Health maintains there is no consistent evidence the toxins cause “important” health effects, in contrast to the US EPA, which has concluded they are a human health hazard that – at high-enough levels – can cause immune dysfunction, hormonal interference and certain types of cancer.
Thirty-nine landholders with Melbourne Water diversion licences have been advised to stop using water from the Maribyrnong River as a precautionary measure until further testing could be done.
Testing on water, soil, plants and aquatic life by government authorities will assess any risk to the public posed by chemicals in the waterways.
Mr Wallace has reduced the amout of Maribyrnong water he used in recent years and was reluctant to grow anything in soil outside his greenhouses.
Diversion customers were notified on September 7 that PFAS had been found in soil and water at the airport, a spokesman said, and then again on September 17, after receiving further information from the airport and preliminary advice from the EPA.
Melbourne Airport said it was "really pleased" that the EPA and Melbourne Water were investigating the presence of PFAS in nearby waterways.
Last year the airport tested surface water and groundwater, as well as more than 800 soil samples, for PFAS, a spokesman said.
"These investigations found that PFAS contamination is concentrated in a few locations associated with the historical use of PFAS-containing fire-fighting foams.

At least a thousand pallets of water bottles, meant for Hurricane Maria survivors, were left to rot under the Puerto Rican sun.
That is what Angelo Cruz Ramos, the mayor of Ceiba, told ABC News about what happened to thousands and thousands of water bottles that are sitting on the tarmac at the former naval base, Roosevelt Roads.
Cruz Ramos did not know the water was there and only found out when the images, posted to Facebook on Sept. 11, went viral, he said.
The area is a restricted zone, so he is not been able to approach it.
Because the bottled water has been under the sun for months, all the water is contaminated and is not suitable for consumption, Cruz Ramos said.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency confirmed to ABC News that the water was purchased by the federal agency and was determined to be a part of a surplus of supplies in April.
Puerto Rico’s General Services Administration said back in May that the agency received around 20,000 pallets of water through a federal government program to distribute excess supplies, the agency said in a statement to ABC News.
The GSA are working with FEMA and the island’s department of health to perform water tests on what they got from the federal government, the GSA said.
They added that they will be returning the water to the federal government.
Because there were supply planes arriving at airport in Ceiba hundreds of times after the storm – off loading food and water, he wouldn’t know when this water actually arrived on that tarmac, he said.

Contamination from banned chemicals in firefighting foam at levels above safe drinking water guidelines has been found in streams around Palmerston North airport.

Streams around Palmerston North airport are contaminated with firefighting foam chemicals at between three and 12 times the safe drinking water guidelines.
A group with representatives from Palmerston North Airport, Horizons Regional Council, Palmerston North City Council, and MidCentral DHB Public Health Services has been set up to handle the PFOS contamination.
The airport was working on a disposal plan of PFOS foam, which would be replaced with fluorine-free firefighting foam, airport chief executive David Lanham said.
More bores will begin to be drilled next week for more tests, to assess if contaminated groundwater was moving off the airport site, Mr Lanham said.
"There are no formal requirements for landowners or regulatory authorities to notify [the public of] the results of investigations," the ministry said in a statement today.
PFASs were not included in the drinking-water standards, only in interim guidelines, so district health boards and the Ministry of Health do not need to be told if they were found, it said.
"Currently there is no consistent evidence that environmental exposures at the low levels New Zealanders are generally exposed to will cause harmful health effects," the ministry said.
"The interim guidance levels for PFOS and PFOA in drinking water were derived from effects found at certain doses in animal studies.

FiOS The New York State Attorney General’s Office is suing six companies to recoup at least $38 million spent on cleaning up environmental contamination caused by toxic chemicals used at airports.
The lawsuit alleges that the use of firefighting foams made by the companies at several military and civilian airports, including Stewart International Airport in Newburgh and New Windsor, resulted in extensive contamination of soil, fish, and water.
The six companies named in the lawsuit are 3M Company, Tyco Fire Products LP, Chemguard Inc., Buckeye Fire Equipment Co., National Foam Inc., and Kidde-Fenwal Inc. “The conduct of these manufacturers caused widespread contamination of our drinking water and our environment, and jeopardized the health of tens of thousands of New Yorkers,” Attorney General Barbara Underwood said.
“3M will vigorously defend this lawsuit.
3M acted responsibly at all times and will defend its record of stewardship in connection with its manufacturing and sale of AFFF,” said spokeswoman Donna Fleming Runyon.
Westchester foam case The lawsuit comes after Westchester County officials suspected firefighting foam caused groundwater contamination at the county airport, The Journal News/lohud reported.
Andrew Cuomo said.
Firefighting foam dangers 3M began developing firefighting foams containing PFOS in the early 1960s, and sold products containing PFOS and/or PFOA to the federal Department of Defense through at least 2000, Underwood said.
The lawsuit alleges that the other five companies also sold products containing PFOA and PFOS, or compounds that break down into them, to the federal agency.
In fact, in April 2006, 3M agreed to pay a penalty of more than $1.5 million to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its failure to disclose studies dating back decades that confirmed the potential hazards of these chemicals to public health and the environment, among other things, Underwood said.

While the initial water quality results are below the federal advisory level, the airport has pledged to test surrounding residential well water supplies for the emerging contaminant On June 15, the Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, Mich., released a report showing elevated levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the soil and groundwater surrounding the site where firefighting foam was used.
While the airport reports levels of the emerging contaminant below the federal advisory level, the airport plans to test water quality in surrounding residential wells, as reported by U.S. News.
The investigation began after homeowners in the surrounding area began paying for private PFAS drinking water testing earlier this spring amid concerns over the airport’s previous use of AFFF firefighting foam.
While the airport stopped using the foam more than 20 years ago, the Federal Aviation Administration requires that airports keep the foam on hand for emergencies, according to MLive.
The U.S. EPA non-enforceable health advisory level for PFAS is 70 ppt in drinking water, and the airport found a combined PFOS and PFOA level of 54 ppt.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has praised the airport’s decision to expand groundwater testing to the surrounding residential properties.
Airport CEO James Gill has expressed willingness to help the community if need be.
“To us, it is worth taking the extra steps on behalf of the community,” Gill said.

The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation will continue testing drinking water near the Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional Airport in Clarendon.
In a release issued Wednesday, it was noted that state scientists tested 35 water supplies near the airport and found traces of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at 17 sites.
Five of those water supplies had samples exceeding the Vermont Department of Health Drinking Water Health Advisory of 20 parts per trillion.
PFAS include the chemical PFOA, which has turned up in more than 200 wells in Bennington.
The Department of Environmental Conservation now says it will extend its area of concern around the airport to determine how far the contamination has spread.
More from VPR: Clarendon, Vt., Businesses React To Contaminated Water Notice From State [April 5] The state doesn’t know how the wells in Clarendon were contaminated.
But PFAS was used in firefighting foam and communities across the country are now finding the dangerous chemical in water supplies near airports.
According to the release, bottled water is being offered to anyone who has contaminated water, and if water supplies exceed the health advisory, users can have a filter system installed to remove the PFAS from the water.
The state has already installed two residential Point Of Entry Treatment (POET) filter systems.

PFAS chemicals has been found in a well that serves the Rutland Airport Business Park in Clarendon, affecting several businesses including the Vermont Country Store.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that include PFOA and PFOS.
Walke said 10 wells were tested in and around the Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional Airport.
Vermont maintains one of the strictest limits for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water at 20 parts per trillion.
Levels close to that limit and slightly above it were found in two wells that serve a single water system.
The well with levels above 20 parts per trillion provides water to six businesses at the business park including the Vermont Country Store.
The affected businesses were notified and bottled water was provided for employees.
Rick Gile, president of the Rutland Airport Business Park Association, said all the affected tenants received notification of the state’s findings as well as information about health hazards through a flier that could be provided to all employees.
Gile said he believed most tenants were using water for cooling equipment or providing water to staff, but Vermont Country Store operates an on-site bakery.
Gile said he believed the state’s involvement in the contamination in North Bennington and Bennington allowed them to respond as quickly and efficiently as they had in Clarendon.
