The State has also asked the Court to void certain corporate transactions between DuPont and its affiliates designed to insulate DuPont from PFAS-related liabilities.
DOJ is asking for $64,618 per day, per violation of the Clean Water Act and $55,808 per day or $2,232 per barrel of oil or unit of hazardous substance.
These results show that PetroFix is an effective tool for quickly reducing the risk-sensitive benzene and MTBE concentrations in groundwater and obtaining regulatory closures in short order for long-open sites.
Plastics cause disease, impairment and premature mortality at every stage of their life cycle, disproportionately affecting vulnerable, low-income and minority communities.
The ubiquity of fast food and discount stores in poorer communities increases exposure to plastic packaging, products, and associated chemicals and impacts.
The winner of the 2018 Stockholm Water Prize, often described as the Nobel Prize for water, Rittmann is a pioneer in the use of microorganisms for wastewater treatment.
Study examines remediation at a site that began in the 1990s, with groundwater monitoring since 2000, including measuring for PFAS and PFOS since 2015.
Even though PFAS levels are low, discussions around regulations which would prevent the use of biosolids on crops are taking place to prevent further accumulation.
Rather than labelling all biosolids as contaminated PFAS waste, the government’s new plan should ideally lay out ways to minimize damage done by forever chemicals in biosolids.
Thermally remediating soil contaminated with PFAS has the potential to be an effective solution. TerraTherm has performed detailed lab studies to understand the removal mechanisms and developed a treatment method that mineralizes and removes nearly 100% of target and non-target PFAS compounds from the vapor discharge.
Today’s actions represent a significant milestone for the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitments to combat PFAS pollution and safeguard drinking water.
Coal-fired power plants discharge pollutants such as selenium, mercury, arsenic, nickel, bromide, chloride, and iodide, nutrient pollution, and total dissolved solids.
