Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said the largest proposed settlement in New Jersey history over PFAS would see pollution remediation in and around Solvay Specialty Polymer's West Deptford facility.
Yet, he said, there's more work to do. LaTourette said that the state still has over 70 public water systems that exceed government standard levels for PFAS.
"Our PFAS challenges in New Jersey are deep. They are significant. And, they won't be solved by this one action alone," said LaTourette. As for how this funding would be used, Platkin said about $214 million would go towards remediation efforts, $100 million would be used to address PFAS impacts to certain public water systems and private potable drinking water wells and $75 million would be used to recoup taxpayer funds and lost value of natural resources due to Solvay’s discharge of hazardous substances and other pollutants.
, in a statement, said it was about time the company paid to help remediate the negative environmental impacts of PFAS. “After years of witnessing the pollution impacts from Solvay and advocating to make them, as the polluter, pay for the damage and stop their ongoing releases of toxics, we look forward to digging into the settlement documents to understand what is being done to make them accountable and clean up the pollution.
