Staying on top of the legal and policy developments in the PFAS arena is no small task. As a special service to our members, the Environmental Law Institute provides a monthly series of webinars with author of the PFAS Deskbook, James Pollack, and national experts on PFAS to keep you up to date, answer your questions, and highlight a unique topic related to PFAS during each session.
Water suppliers nationwide are considering settlements totaling over $11 billion with PFAS manufacturers 3M and DuPont. Just days before a bellwether trial was scheduled to begin, the most well-known defendants in the aqueous film-forming foam multidistrict litigation in South Carolina (the “AFFF MDL”) reached settlements to resolve all water supplier claims against them. The AFFF MDL itself includes over 420 water supplier plaintiffs, but over 14,000 water suppliers are eligible to share in the settlement funds. In this briefing, we will discuss the litigation, how water suppliers are dealing with contamination, and the status of the settlements.
