Vice Chair Killian urges towns' involvement in PFAS advocacy to recover cleanup costs
Summary
Vice Chair Killian recommended the county involve town officials in state and federal advocacy on PFAS cost recovery, saying towns brought materials that created the county's PFAS burden and should share responsibility for cleanup advocacy.
Vice Chair Killian urged the committee to involve towns in outreach to state and federal delegations seeking PFAS cleanup funding and cost recovery. "The county never actually purchased any PFAS or any foam, that got on the county side. It was all brought on by the town," Killian said, arguing town managers and boards should join county efforts to press delegations for assistance.
Killian suggested coordinated pressure from multiple towns would strengthen the county's case and help recover mitigation costs. Several members agreed it was appropriate to encourage town involvement, either by individual delegates engaging their towns or by asking the county administration to coordinate.
