Taft partner Rob Bilott testified before the PFAS Interagency Task Force to discuss, “What are the sources of PFAS in Massachusetts and who is responsible for addressing PFAS contamination?,” on Tuesday, Sept. 7. The purpose of this hearing was to investigate single-point sources of contamination in the Commonwealth, understand sludge/biosolids and consumer products as a source of contamination, and discuss the accountable parties and burden of responsibility with regards to remediation and clean-up efforts.
