PFAS is now contaminating the Merrimack river, which today is a landing zone of landfill garbage juice “leachate” as it exits a NH water treatment center and is becoming a toxic danger for southern NH communities. Lets not let PFAS and other toxic pollutants contaminate any of NH’s other cherished lakes or rivers.
HB1454, which passed the house and senate with strong bi-partisan support, will establish a science-based buffer between landfills and waters based on groundwater flow. Today’s buffer is a meager and arbitrary 200′.
