PITTSBORO — Commissioners voted unanimously on Monday evening to pursue litigation against manufacturers of PFAS chemicals and aqueous film forming foam ...

“Given these factors, Sher Edling has recommended bringing a PFAS suit against major manufacturers of both PFAS chemicals in general and aqueous film forming foam ('AFFF') more specifically.” The process, however, could take months before anything comes from the lawsuit.

It is time the Town of Brunswick do everything in its power to ensure an end to this present and ongoing PFAS exposure risk and take all action to ensure a future discharge which will be catastrophic does not occur. the Town needs to require DEP to implement the EPAs recommendations aimed at restricting discharges PFAS into surface waters of the state, especially on this former military installation in Brunswick, where extremely elevated levels of PFAS are present and have contaminated our public drinking water supply.
