The Naval Station Rota community gathered together June 23 to witness the change of command ceremony where Capt. Greg Pekari, Rota’s commanding officer, relinquished command to Capt. Michael MacNicholl. Pekari, who assumed command in May 2013, ushered in a great deal of positive change throughout the installation during his tenure. Pekari hands the keys over to MacNicholl, who becomes the 32nd commanding officer in the long, storied history of Naval Station Rota. Rear Adm. Rick Williamson, Commander Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia (EURAFSWA) applauded Pekari for his dedication and leadership. “We often talk about in our profession that the most important part is the relationships that you leave behind,” said Williamson. “I know that you are going to be greatly missed and I know that you and your family have left your mark and done great work for the United States Navy and for our hosts in Spain.” Pekari infused a wealth of operational, managerial and diplomatic expertise into the daily operations of this overseas naval installation, which is the largest in the EURAFSWA area of responsibility. He effectively commanded Naval Station Rota in its transition to an overseas Navy port and the arrival of four Arleigh-Burke class destroyers; USS Donald Cook (DDG 75), USS Ross (DDG 71), USS Porter (DDG 78) and USS Carney (DDG 68). “We celebrate his extraordinary leadership and the indelible mark that he will leave behind here in Rota and whose accomplishments and dedication to his ambassadorial role has helped reaffirm our enduring partnership with our Spanish allies,” said James Costos, U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain and the Principality of Andorra. He also coordinated the efforts of more than 50 different department and tenant commands, always demanding a high degree of excellence. N a v a l Station Rota showcased that excellence in the numerous awards they won including the Five-Star Zumwalt Award for the Navy Gateway Inn and Suites, the Bingham Award for Excellence in Navy Exchange Operations, the Secretary of the Navy’s Small Shore Installation Energy and Water Management Award and the Golden Anchor Award for Retention Excellence for each year Pekari was in command. Furthermore, U.S. Naval Hospital Rota became the first military medical facility to receive the National Committee for Quality Assurance Level III certification in addition to its eighth consecutive Navy Surgeon General Blue “H” for public health. ““I thought nothing could ever top my time as a commanding officer for a squadron and after three years, and in fact it only took me three months, I can say with all certainty that this has been, by far, my best tour in the Navy,” said Pekari. Pekari, a 1989 graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science in Oceanography, will report to Navy Installations Command located in Washington, DC. Pekari and MacNicholl read their official orders and passed the torch of leadership from one to the other. MacNicholl thanked the Rota team for the time- honored tradition, as he becomes their new commander. “I’m very honored to be given this opportunity to command Naval Activities Spain… I am honored to lead you. We will continue to follow the same course charted by Skipper Pekari, our support to the fleet, the fighter and the families is critical to mission success.” MacNicholl grew up in a Navy family and spent time in Lemoore, California and Oak Harbor, Washington. He graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation and as a Third Officer in the United States Merchant Marines. He then reported to Pensacola and was designated a Naval Flight Officer in June 1997. MacNicholl’s fleet assignments include serving the “Gauntlets” of VAQ-136 on USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63), the “Lancers” of VAQ-131 on USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), as executive and commanding officer of the “Rooks” of VAQ-137 on USS Enterprise (CVN 65) and as the operations officer aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68). He has accumulated more than 2500 flight hours and 800 carrier landings.

Pekari, a 1989 graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science in Oceanography, will report to Navy Installations Command located in Washington, DC.
Pekari and MacNicholl read their official orders and passed the torch of leadership from one to the other.

Rota Bids Farewell to 'Beloved' Leader
2 June 30, 2016 | The Coastline
Hola, Rota!I cannot overstate my excitement to have this opportunity to be
stationed here in sunny and beautiful Spain. Both my family and I are extremely happy to be joining Team Rota. We look forward to all the wonderful opportunities offered on Naval Station Rota, in the Andalusían region and the country of Spain. There seem
to be many things to do – whether exploring on our own to taking advantage of the wonderful MWR programs.
The welcome has been very warm and friendly across the entire installation. Whether, from fellow service members, government employees, fami ly members, or local employees, it is apparent Team Rota has a tremendous sense of community and family.
My family and I are truly appreciative of the wonderful reception we have received thus far in Rota. From the moment we arrived on the Patriot Express to our first couple of nights at the Navy Lodge, everyone has been wonderful. The caring attitude and genuine interest in bringing us into the Rota family has been incredibly thoughtful and gracious. We look forward to integrating into the community and enjoying all that Rota has to offer.
I have noticed the deep feeling of family and community thriving throughout the base and the local area. Both my wife and I grew up on a base with a similar small town feel – where everyone looks out for and takes care of each other. Family is very important to me, as I expect it is to many of us. I believe in the importance of a strong family, particularly in the military lifestyle. Most service members spend a considerable amount of time away from our loved ones, so it is important to cherish the moments we have together, while also knowing when we are away, our families are going to be supported in our absence. It is apparent in just the few short weeks I have been here that Rota provides a safe and secure community for our families to grow and thrive. The sense of community and family are indicative of
the teamwork that is infused throughout the installation.Teamwork…I believe in the power of teamwork. I believe
the United States Navy is a team sport. I imagine many of you have heard that before and I hope many of you may already understand the importance of operating as a team. Let me reassure you I truly believe it. Every aspect of Naval Station Rota is connected – we function as a team. Everything we do, every action, every job, every choice we make is important to the Navy and the mission. More importantly, the strategic mission of this base cannot be accomplished without each individual doing their part to ensure the success of that mission. I will give you my best - I expect all of you to do your best in supporting the mission.
I would like to reiterate the appreciation I have for Team Rota and how grateful my family and I are in the wonderful welcome we have received. The sense of community and the importance of family are refreshingly apparent and reassuring to me. The teamwork associated with accomplishing the mission and ensuring the sense of community is noticeably visible throughout the base. We are excited about the Independence Day celebration this weekend - from the United States flag raising ceremony to the fun-filled evening at the La Plaza ball fields. MWR has put together a fantastic celebration – I hope to see everyone out there. My family and I look forward to getting to know each of you and forming lasting friendships. Thank you Team Rota!

There is a book in the Bible that I find fairly useful for understanding people even though it doesn’t recount great deeds. The book of Proverbs is found about halfway through the Bible and is full of short sayings that carry an enormous amount of truth. If you look through this book you may find yourself thinking “so that’s where that saying comes from.”
The adage I’m focusing on for this article is from Chapter 15, verse 4: “A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse one crushes the spirit.” As I go around to various places I hear people use words for good and for bad. The military has always had people who use rough language, but the lack of regard some people show in their conversation can be distressing. Words can be used to encourage or motivate or they can do the opposite. The way we communicate makes a difference in how people
perceive us. More than just the use of harsh and demeaning words, the tone of some conversations seem full of anger and spite. I’m aware that all of us have mood swings and none of us are perfect in our conversations, but we need to be more aware of how we use our tongue to bless or to curse others.
In a moment of frustration any of us can let the wrong words slip from our lips, but remember our words can have a lasting impression. The fact of the matter is that most of us learned our communications skills while growing up in homes where words were maybe used to hurt. Can we find a better way to let others know what we want to say?
You may not think so, but it is possible to learn new ways to impart some our thoughts. Believe it or not, given the right model and some practice, we can talk to others free of cynicism and sarcasm. Listening to others as they talk and paying attention to the way words and tone are used can make a difference. Consider how you really want to come across to your family and friends. Ask yourself if you would be comfortable with someone talking to you the way you talk to people. There are things you can do to make your conversation effective.
Practice what is called active listening, that is, trying to hear what is being said without rushing to judgment. Listen with your heart, especially when you may feel upset. Work towards a win/win style of conversation as opposed to I have to “win” this argument. Think about what you are going to say, the old “engage brain before speaking” advice. Remember, not everything that you discuss is a matter of life and death.
There are many books on communication skills, workshops are offered from the FFSC, and other sources. Learn from others and ask guidance on how to better communicate. In working at improving your speech, you can better your relationships, make yourself understood and feel better about yourself.

Team Rota in the Spotlight
We want to remind all PCSing Department of Defense (DoD) passengers of health concerns associated with transporting pets, especially snub or pug-nosed pets. All pets are susceptible to the risk of heat stroke, respiratory problems, and the possibility of death. The risk is increased for snub or pug-nosed pets. For health and safety concerns, we recommend pet owners discuss their pets’ susceptibility to complications with a local veterinarian prior to air transport.

ABH2 (AW) Paul Thomas III
Georgia-native Aviation’s Boatswains Mate Handling Paul Thomas III is an air operations duty officer assigned to Air Operations, managing the safe operations of the flight line by securing and maintaining the runways.
He is a friendly face many in our community appreciate to see, especially when there’s in a mechanical setback.
Thomas opens his heart and helps those in need when a vehicle breaks down, when someone wants to learn to fix their own or when someone needs help moving.
“What I didn’t have when I was coming up,” said Thomas, “and what I would have wanted; I learned how to do it. I could pass on the knowledge to somebody else. I just love helping people.”
In the two years stationed at Naval Station Rota, Thomas has built a network of people through his helpful nature and was even invited to join a Spanish car enthusiast club of American car owners called the Coches de Americano del Sur.
“I’m the only American in the club,” said Thomas, “Most of the other ones that are in there are rich and affluent, construction business owners, CEOs of companies, etc. so it was kind of cool to be able to
network.”Thomas said that because most of the
club members didn’t know how to work on American cars, he would help them as long as they bought the parts.
“They don’t have an auto body shop,” said Thomas. “ I kind of molded it to what I would’ve wanted here and how can I take that and help others.”
Thomas enjoys helping and meeting new people who share the same interests as he does in cars and repairs.
“That’s my main thing from getting out of here in Spain is finding people who are into the same things that I’m into,” said Thomas, “mainly cars, car repair, building engines and racing them and tearing them up.”
Thomas has ten months remaining in Spain and he said he wants to share his knowledge of vehicles with others so that others can help themselves and each other.
“I’d rather be remembered for my good work here, for helping to pass on knowledge,” said Thomas. “So that way when somebody has an issue, they could pass it on to the next person so that way it spreads with unit cohesion for us to work together.”

Commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia (EURAFSWA) concluded their Executive Steering Committee (ESC) Friday, June 2 in the Bella Napoli Conference Room at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples, Italy.
"This was the region's first ESC under Rear Adm. Williamson and it was purposefully designed to be different from any Executive Steering Committee we've conducted in the past," said Paula Monachelli, deputy director, Strategy & Future Requirements (N5) Navy Region EURAFSWA and facilitator of the ESC. "Our regional commander had a specific vision for this meeting -- a focus on that middle word in the title, 'steering.'"
The ESC aimed to circulate information and EURAFSWA priorities as well as discuss risk assessments and lines of effort for the future. It was an effort to work toward what the CNO's new Campaign Design For Maritime Superiority calls "high velocity learning." High velocity learning applies the best concepts, techniques and technologies to accelerate learning as individuals, teams and organizations. Rear Adm. Rick Williamson, Commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia, led the committee through the three-day event.
"We focused on identifying the best
concepts, techniques, and technologies that currently exist at our installations," said Williamson. "Now we can begin the process of standardizing those best practices and increase our efficiency, which will ultimately increase the combat effectiveness of forward deployed naval forces that operate within our region. It is high velocity learning."
Once the fleet understands and sees the increase in efficiency and their combat effectiveness increases, said Williamson, the fleet will better understand how the shore supports their mission.
This was Williamson's intent as he sat down with the commanding officers of the eight EURAFSWA installations, a region which encompasses a geographic area
spanning three continents, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Gulf, and from Northern Europe into Africa.
"The commander's intent is an important piece of this meeting for any regional commander," said Capt. James Craycraft, commanding officer of Naval Support Facility, Deveselu, Romania. "Each one of us needs to communicate our commander's intent so that the people who work for us are very clear on which way we need to go and why we need to get there."
The eight installations that provide critical shore support to U.S. and allied operations, the expanse of EURAFSWA includes critical choke points such as the Strait of Hormuz, the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Bosporus Strait. EURAFSWA's Sailors, civilians, and host nation employees provide support to the fleet with air operations, security, safety, housing, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), Fleet and Family Support Programs, and fuel and logistics of installations in the operational theater of Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia.
"We're going to test all this," said Williamson. "We're going to bring it back and op-test it for a while, and then we're going to decide if it got better or it got worse. We want to understand the lessons of our own region's history, so we don't have to relearn them."
The Semester Two Middle School Awards Assembly was held on June 16 at David Farragut Middle School (DGF).
Twenty - two e ig th -grade students received Presidential Awards while many sixth, seventh and eighth-grade students received recognition for outstanding achievement from their teachers. The guest speaker was Keziah Anderson who was the f i r s t s tuden t named Admiral of the Semester at DGF. This award was created to recognize her fine character four years ago when she was an eigth grade student. Keziah attended DGF schools from kindergarten to the middle of 10th grade before moving to Florida where she finished high school. She inspired the middle school students with her own experiences and accomplishments.
"Through guidance from my parents, I have always been taught that self-
discipline is the key to success in both school and other activities. Honesty is one of the values I hold dear and I believe that when it's applied to the learning environment, both teachers and students gain a greater understanding and learning experience,” Anderson said.
“The important thing about courage is putting yourself out there even when you are afraid, but overcoming your fear and gaining new skills and life experiences from what you were brave enough to try. During my middle school and high school years, I refused to participate in reckless activities and instead spent most of my time on my studies and extra-curricular activities. Although this often meant that
I was not always a part of the most "popular" crowd, I was able to be myself with those I surrounded myself with and was able to develop my own moral compass and apply my courage to making moral decisions.” Anderson went on to explain that the character traits she learned in middle and high school helped to contribute to her overall school experience.
“I encourage all of you to develop these qualities and to not be ashamed of them, but to share them with everyone you come into contact with. The students recognized as "Admirals" today exemplify these traits and should be proud of themselves, "said Anderson.
Anderson graduated in May from Bartram Trail High School in Florida and has been accepted and will attend Columbia University in New York this fall.
The Semester Two Admirals of the Semester are; sixth-graders Nya John and Elek Harmon, seventh-graders Alania James, Peyton Allen, Jonah Umayam and Cameron Rivera and eighth-graders Secilya Williams, Carson Lewis and Gabe Bowman.
Art teacher, Linda White, decorated the multi-purpose building for the event with tropical flowers and made a ceremonial threshold for the eigth graders to cross over into high school. DGF has a newly formed Parent Teacher Student Organization that supported this event by providing the cakes and fruit assortment for the reception.

Sec re ta ry o f t he Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus visited Naval Station Rota and spoke with Sailors and Marines about current programs and initiatives that will strengthen the two forces during an all hands call June 28.
Mabus opened the event by discussing how and why the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps give the American people a unique presence.
“We’re not only in the right place at the right time, we’re in the right place all the time,” said Mabus. “It has given our leaders options in times of crisis. It’s being around the globe, around the clock. The way we get that presence, the way I try to organize the Navy and Marine Corps is with the four Ps… people, platform, power and partnerships.”
In his f irst topic, Mabus discussed the importance of taking care of the people. He stated that the Navy and Marine Corps were doing this by various programs that are already in place, like the 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative and upcoming changes to include the Pentagon lifting the ban on transgender troops.
“I think it’s a good policy change. We should open up our force to the maximum as much as possible,” said Mabus. “I supported the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and I supported putting woman in ground combat divisions. Every time we diversify our force, we get stronger.”
He then spoke about the platforms throughout the Navy and Marine Corps. He discusses the decline of active warships between 2001 and 2008. During that time the Navy decommissioned 38 ships. This was in spite of
a huge military buildup during those years. He believes that is not enough to complete the Navy and Marine Corps mission without the risk of wearing out the ships and their Sailors and Marines. SECNAV’s goal is to get back to a fleet of 300 ships by the end of 2019.
On of SECNAV’s most important priorities come in the form of power; power to operate ships, aircraft and installations. His goal is for half the Navy’s energy usage to come from alternative sources by the year 2020. On the shore side, more than 50 percent are already operating on alternative fuels.
And last but not least, Mabus spoke about the
importance of partnerships. “Partnerships is what Naval
Station Rota focuses on everyday,” said Mabus. “It’s building the partnerships with our friends and allies. The deployed Sailors and Marine are America’s away team. The American people need to know how dangerous your jobs are and how well you are at doing them because they need to understand why we need to keep the Navy and Marine Corps as great as it’s been.”
Secretary Mabus took a few questions from some of the Sailors and Marines in the audience and provided answers on topics such as, paternity leave for fathers, rating title changes and the Navy’s plan to hire civilian experts mid-career as chief petty officers in growing areas like cyber warfare.
Before he departed, he had a few words for Rota’s Sailors and Marines.
“Thank you Rota for what you do every day,” said Mabus. “Thank you for your willingness to wear the uniform. America has so many reasons to be so proud of what you do because you’re better than anyone in the world at doing what you do. Nobody touches the Marine Corps or the Navy in any capability or any capacity. Bravo Zulu to your
dedication to training and education and your excellence in doing your job.”
Secretary Mabus is in the area as part of a multinational tour of the European Command area of responsibility to meet Sailors and Marines, and government and military leaders.
Naval Station Rota enables and supports operations of U.S. and allied forces and provides quality services in support of the fleet, fighter, and family for Commander, Navy Installations Command in Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia.

The American Red Cross (AMCROSS), Rota is collecting unopened, travel-size toiletries until July 4 as part of a Replenishment Drive effort. Commissary patrons can also purchase pre-assembled kits for $7.50 to contribute to the drive. The American Red Cross will use the toiletries to fill care packages for military members and families in need, such as the 900 or so dependents recently evacuated from Turkey.
“We are encouraging people to clean out their stashes of mini conditioner, shampoo, toothpaste and any other items that they've collected from various hotels,” said Heather Piedrahita, community volunteer leader for AMCROSS. “They clean out their drawers, or buy a pre-made kit when checking out at the commissary.”
On June 15, Red Cross community volunteers gathered at the commissary to sort through boxes of toiletries and assemble the pre-made kits. The commissary provided the brand-name items at cost for filling the kits; the kits are $7.50 and are available at check-out for patrons to purchase and donate to the Replenishment Drive.
“Especially living overseas, you never know when your whole life could be disrupted, like what happened in Turkey or the tsunami in Japan,” said Nicole Retana, a volunteer. “It is comforting to know our military community is here to back us up, even with a small gesture such as a box of toiletries.”
Care packages are a long standing American tradition. In the wake of World War II, Americans could purchase $10 kits of food aid to send to family and friends in Europe as part of the new CARE package program (Cooperation for American Remittances to Europe). CARE packages containing food, blankets, school supplies and tools continued to arrive in Europe throughout the 1960s and were a universal symbol of American concern and friendship.
Today, “care package” remains in the American vocabulary as a method of delivering comfort and good wishes; deployed service members, college students
and neighbors displaced by current events all look forward to the cheerful packages full of baked goods, candies, toiletries and other reminders of home.
The collection point for Replenishment Drive donations is the Red Cross office inside the Community Services building by the library. All donations can be dropped off there 9 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.

As the peak season for permanent change-of-station (PCS) moves begins, many Sailors are awaiting orders so they and their families can proceed to their next duty stations. However, due to the current fiscal environment and budget constraints, most Sailors will have less time to plan their moves as order release timelines are compressed.
While this timeline isn’t easy on Sailors or their families, it is important for Sailors to understand why that is the case and what we are doing to improve the timeline.
What’s going on?Due to budgetary pressures and a perennially decreased top line for Navy’s
Manpower Account, we knew PCS funds would be tight toward the end of the fiscal year. Consequently, the Navy began to carefully manage the issuance of PCS orders earlier this year, which resulted in shorter lead times for PCS moves. Each year, approximately 66,000 Sailors receive operational, rotational and training orders. The Navy also moves approximately 70,000 Sailors as they are accessed, separate, retire or execute organized unit moves (for homeport changes). Traditionally, operational and rotational moves have averaged three months advance notice for the past several years. However, in some cases this summer, those timelines have been shortened to one month due to budgetary pressure.
What we’re doing?Navy leadership understands the impact of shortened PCS timelines and the stress
this causes Sailors.As such, we have convened a working group with representatives from throughout
the Fleet that are looking at a variety of measures to ensure the Navy is able to maintain current readiness, Fleet manning levels and minimize additional impacts to Sailors as we carefully navigate PCS orders for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The Navy expects the results of this working group will allow Sailors to make planned moves for the remainder of the fiscal year without further reducing orders’ lead times.
However, given the current fiscal constraints, the Navy is prioritizing PCS moves in order to remain within budget. Highest priority moves are those to fill critical gaps at sea, billets for individual augmentees, force protection, humanitarian, safety and overseas billets - they will be issued first. All other orders will be released following a sequenced move schedule to ensure the Fleet is manned properly.
We have released priority one moves (individual augmentee, immediate and OFRP deployers, numbered fleet staffs, overseas billets) and must-moves (safety, early return of dependents, humanitarian) with estimated detach dates through the end of July, and are now working on August orders and beyond.
Also, to help alleviate some pressure, Navy Personnel Command will continue to issue letters of intent for overseas moves. That way, while orders may not be in hand, individuals can start the process of doing overseas and medical screenings, dependent entry approval, passport applications and security clearance requests.
The future.The Navy recognizes that these shortened lead times limit Sailors’ time to prepare
for moves, and burdens them and their families.Leadership is engaged at all levels to develop and implement solutions to minimize
the impact to our Sailors. The focus and priority remains on manning the Fleet, and taking care of Sailors and their families.

You work hard at your job, so make sure you take time to relax and navigate life’s stressors in positive and safe ways. While social gatherings with friends and family are a great way to relax, you may be tempted to drink too much and make poor decisions, such as driving under the influence of alcohol.
Almost one-quarter of men binge drink, averaging nine drinks per binge. Driving after drinking, even if you have just one beer, can increase your risk of an accident. Motor vehicle traffic is one of the leading causes of unintentional injury deaths for males ages 15 to 44. Long trips in motor vehicles, including on your motorcycle, can cause fatigue, increasing your risk of an accident.
When you practice good driving safety tips, such
as getting enough sleep and stopping to stretch every two hours, you will decrease your risk of getting into an accident.
Aside from spending time with friends and family at social events and vacationing, there are other ways to relax in your everyday life. Men experience depression differently from women and may be more likely to feel tired and irritable; lose interest in their work, family, or hobbies; or have more difficulty sleeping. Consider seeing a therapist or counselor who can help you find other ways to deal with your stress.
Individuals can self-refer to the Internal Behavioral Health Consultant in Medical Home Port by calling the appointment desk (727-3618). For questions about this or any Wellness topic please contact Health Promotions Department (727-3350). Stay healthy for life Rota!

Is our water safe to drink? NAVSTA Rota’s drinking water system provides water that is safe and Fit For Human
Consumption (potable) as determined by the Installation Commanding Officer’s Record of Decision dated Dec. 17, 2013. We are proud to support the Navy’s commitment to provide safe and reliable drinking water to our service members and their families. This annual Consumer Confidence Report includes general and mandatory information to educate everyone about our water source(s), treatment processes, standard requirements and other details to help assure you that our water is safe to drink.
Our drinking water fully complies with the DoD's Final Governing Standards (FGS), which are derived from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Spain drinking water standards. When Spain and U.S. standards differ, the most protective requirement is adopted into the FGS. A detailed list of constituents found in our drinking water is included in this report, along with a comparison to the maximum levels considered safe for the general public by these standards. Where does our water come from and how is it treated?
NAVSTA Rota purchases treated water from the Agencia Andaluza del Agua. This water comes from Los Hurones and Guadalcacín reservoirs and is treated at the Cuartillos water treatment plant where contaminants and suspended solids are removed through sedimentation, sand filtration and disinfection with chlorine. The water then flows by gravity to the San Cristóbal ground storage facilities. NAVSTA Rota maintains drinking water storage capacity through reservoir tanks in our drinking water distribution system and also has long water distribution lines. To ensure disinfection is sustained throughout the extra storage and distribution, NS Rota performs additional chlorination. To maintain disinfection by products under the required level, filtration is accomplished by using granular activated carbon (GAC) filters. Why are there contaminants in drinking water?
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain small amounts of some contaminants. The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring contaminants.
Due to this, some substances may be present in source drinking water, such as: • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from
wildlife, sewage treatment plants, septic systems and livestock; • Disinfection products, such as chlorine and chloramine used to remove pathogens
from the water and disinfection by-products such as Trihalomethanes; • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as
agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses;• Inorganic contaminants, naturally occurring such as salts and metals, which can
be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial, or domestic
wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals,
which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic systems; and
• Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring in surface rooks or brought to the surface as the result of oil and gas production or mining activities.
The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, regulations limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Regular sampling is conducted to detect the level of contaminants in the water system. If the results are above regulatory levels, you will be notified in the Coastline newspaper and at NAVFAC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/navfac. You can learn more about contaminants and any potential health effects by calling their Safe Drinking Water Hotline: 1-800-426-4791 or visiting the EPA’s Drinking Water Standards web site: http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/lps21800/www.epa.gov/safewater/standards.html .Source water assessment
In May 2015 the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) conducted a comprehensive sanitary survey of the NAVSTA Rota drinking water system. This survey provided an evaluation of the adequacy of the drinking water source, facilities, equipment, operation and maintenance for producing and distributing safe drinking water. NAVFAC Rota is continually improving the drinking water system based on the recommendations in the report. Some people must use special precautions
There are people who may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons, such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline: 800-426-4791. Additional Information for Lead
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. NAVFAC Rota Public Works is responsible for providing high-quality drinking water and has direct control over the materials used in plumbing components on the facility. This ensures that no lead service lines or components are used on the drinking water system. As a general safety practice, whenever - and wherever - you plan to use tap water for drinking or cooking, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing the tap for 30 seconds to two minutes prior to use. Information on lead in drinking water and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the USEPA Safe Drinking Water website: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
