The site was owned by DuPont, a rival company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is the largest single clean-water settlement in New Jersey\u2019s history, the state said. New Jersey sued 3M, DuPont and other PFAS manufacturers in 2019, saying the facility had contaminated drinking water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, is used in a range of everyday products like nonstick cookware, water-repellent clothing and stain-resistant carpets. Exposure to the chemicals <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/pfas\/our-current-understanding-human-health-and-environmental-risks-pfas\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">has been linked to<\/a> metabolic disorders, decreased fertility in women and developmental delays in children, as well as increased risk of some prostate, kidney and testicular cancers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Under the settlement announced Tuesday, 3M will pay New Jersey between $400 million to $450 million over 25 years to pay for damages, as well as cleanup and drinking water treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">DuPont and its chemical spinoff Chemours, which now owns the Chambers Works facility, were not part of the settlement, New Jersey said. The remaining parties are expected to proceed to trial in the case. DuPont declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCorporate polluters must be held accountable when they contaminate our state\u2019s water supply,\u201d New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said in a statement. \u201cFor decades, 3M knew that their PFAS chemicals were forever contaminating the New Jersey environment. But they continued to pollute the environment and escape accountability,\u201d he said. \u201cThat ends now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/hwcorrectiveactioncleanups\/hazardous-waste-cleanup-chemours-chambers-works-deepwater-new-jersey\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">According to the Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>, the Chambers Works facility once manufactured gunpowder as well as radiological material, and contributed to the development of the atomic bomb. It more recently manufactured a variety of chemicals, including PFAS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Shawn M. LaTourette, New Jersey\u2019s Commissioner of Environmental Protection, said contamination in the state went well beyond drinking water. <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">\u201c<\/strong>We find PFAS everywhere in the state of New Jersey, leeching from landfills, and even in the soils of distant remote New Jersey forests that should be pristine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">New Jersey is the second known state to settle with 3M over PFAS drinking water contamination claims. In 2018, 3M agreed to pay Minnesota $850 million for contaminating drinking water and natural resources in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2023, 3M also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/06\/22\/business\/3m-settlement-forever-chemicals-lawsuit.html\" title=\"\">reached a nationwide settlement<\/a> with public water suppliers for up to $12.5 billion to address PFAS contamination in drinking water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">3M said the agreement was an \u201cimportant step toward reducing risk and uncertainty\u201d around historical PFAS contamination. The company said in 2000 that it was voluntarily phasing out the production of two major types of PFAS, and it has said it is on track to discontinue all PFAS manufacturing by 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The company said the settlement did not amount to an admission of guilt. It is taking a pretax charge of $285 million in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The E.P.A. had been expected to indicate this week whether it intends to stick to strict <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/19\/climate\/epa-pfas-superfund-cleanup.html\" title=\"\">PFAS drinking water standards set by the Biden administration<\/a> last year, which would require water utilities to all but remove six different types of PFAS from their water supply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Chemical companies and utilities sued the agency over the move. The Trump administration had been due to say on Monday whether it would continue to defend the standards in court. Instead, it asked for a 21-day extension to decide on its planned course of action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
