The toxic chemicals have seeped out of factories, Naval bases, and airports around the nation. And the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Washington, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theolympian.com\/news\/local\/military\/article246673187.html\">the Navy sampled 292 wells near Naval Base Kitsap\u2014finding that 83 of those wells had PFAS contamination.<\/a> According to the story in <i>The Olympian<\/i>: \u201cThe Navy said residents who get drinking water from affected wells will be provided with an indefinite supply of bottled water until the Navy can provide a long-term solution. The Navy did not provide a timeline for a resolution.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Michigan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michiganradio.org\/post\/pfas-levels-norton-creek-plummet-after-state-investigation\">effluent from Tribar Manufacturing, a plating company, was being released into the Huron River<\/a>, via the Wixom Wastewater Treatment Plant\u2014at levels up to 1,400 parts per trillion. After a state investigation revealed the source of the pollution, it required the company to install filtration systems\u2014and the levels dropped down to six parts per trillion.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/groundwater-war\/2020\/07\/13\/nm-funds-pfas-studies-while-cleanup-languishes-and-regulations-remain-years-out\/\">no federal regulations<\/a> for PFAS, though the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set a lifetime health advisory for the two of the toxic chemicals within the family of substances at 70 parts per trillion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the Michigan Public Radio story: \u201cCompanies do not have to monitor and disclose their PFAS discharges, but once it&#8217;s discovered they are discharging PFAS chemicals over the state limit, they are expected to work cooperatively with state officials to lower the discharges to meet the limit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile.

According to the story at MLive.com, \u201cAs early as 2018, testing on the property showed PFAS moving through the storm sewer system into the river, which the city of Flint used for its drinking water source in parts of 2014 and 2015.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin Public Radio reports that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpr.org\/dnr-forms-new-team-address-pfas-contamination-marinette-area\">state\u2019s Department of Natural Resources has formed a new team<\/a>\u2014one to specifically address PFAS contamination from Tyco Fire Products. From the story: \u201cMultiple programs within the Wisconsin DNR have been involved in efforts to investigate the extent of contamination in the Marinette and Peshtigo area, according to Darsi Foss, administrator of the agency&#8217;s environmental management division. Foss said PFAS contamination linked to Tyco has resulted in concerns over a variety of media or environmental surroundings, including water, fish, and wildlife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In North Carolina, the <i>Coastal Online Review<\/i> notes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastalreview.org\/2020\/10\/pfas-levels-still-high-despite-emission-cuts\/\">even though Chemours has stopped releasing its wastewater into the Cape Fear River, PFAS are still present in the water.<\/a> According to the story, \u201cAuthority officials and researchers say the primary source of PFAS entering the river comes from contaminated groundwater at the Fayetteville plant, sediment between the intake and the facility, and air emissions.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ry Rivard with the <i>Adirondack Explorer<\/i> reports that the state of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adirondackexplorer.org\/stories\/adirondack-regional-airport-superfund\">New York has designated the Adirondack Regional Airport a hazardous waste site, due to PFAS contamination<\/a>.

In addition, they say companies will have to manage the liabilities and anticipate risks.
