This is a public listening session regarding the PFAS contamination in Marinette, Peshtigo and surrounding communities. The DNR and the Department of Health Services (DHS) will share updates and be available to answer questions and hear concerns from community members regarding the ongoing PFAS cleanup and investigation.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of human-made chemicals used for decades in numerous products including non-stick cookware, fast food wrappers, stain-resistant sprays and certain types of firefighting foam. These contaminants have made their way into the environment through spills of PFAS-containing chemicals, discharges of PFAS-containing wastewater to treatment plants and certain types of firefighting foams.
More information is available on the DNR Marinette and Peshtigo PFAS webpage.
