§ 485-H:1 — Purpose Statement

New Hampshire·Title L WATER MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION·Ch. 485-H PER AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) FUND AND PROGRAMS

Communities across the state have been impacted by perfluorochemical contamination, largely through no fault of their own. Perfluorochemicals are a class of chemicals that are part of a larger group of chemicals called per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The cost of remediating this contamination for many communities would result in dramatically higher water and sewer rates for end users. The existence of these man-made chemicals, some of which are occurring at unhealthy levels in New Hampshire's drinking water, require a strategy to protect, preserve, and enhance the water that New Hampshire citizens and environment rely upon.
