Marinette County residents had the chance to offer suggestions on how to spend $10 million from a PFAS lawsuit settlement. The $10 million goes into the state’s PFAS trust fund, but residents are concerned that it won’t be enough to meet all of the needs.

Settlement Details

Tyco Fire Products agreed to pay the fee along with other requirements in the agreement with the state. The DNR says private wells in an Expanded Site Investigation Area are also contaminated with the chemicals, but Tyco isn’t legally held responsible for them.

Residents suggested using the $10 million to provide clean water to residents in the expanded site. They also suggested health exams, such as blood tests, to try and determine their best step forward.
