Ten Million PFAS Settlement Stuck | Milwaukee News

Ten million dollars from a Tyco Fire Products settlement for PFAS contamination in Marinette and Peshtigo is stuck in bureaucratic limbo — the Joint Committee on Finance hasn’t approved its release despite the money being transferred. Funds are meant to test water wells in newly identified contaminated zones, provide safe water, and install new wells — but advocates are frustrated after waiting since June. Legislative leaders say they’re reviewing the DNR’s proposal (received last week) and note the Governor’s office and DNR shared it with media before meetings — though the Legislature won’t reconvene until January. Still, there’s hope for quick action as this settlement stems from years of litigation over firefighting foam that polluted soil and water with toxic, persistent chemicals linked to serious health risks.
