AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s PFAS Fund Advisory Committee seeks public feedback on the next phase of the PFAS Fund’s implementation. A public meeting is set for 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at Deering 101, 90 Blossom Lane, and virtually via Zoom.
The committee, established by the Legislature to oversee and recommend the use of the $60 million PFAS Fund, invites Maine residents, especially farmers affected by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), to share their insights, concerns and experiences. This meeting allows stakeholders to influence the direction of PFAS-related support programs, according to a news release from the department.
