Show Notes
North Carolinas proposed plan to tackle PFAS and one-four-dioxane pollution is under fire from environmental advocates. The plan, which aims to track industrial discharges and reduce contamination at the source, is criticized for lacking hard limits, deadlines, and fines for polluters. Critics argue that it shifts cleanup costs to everyday folks, leading to increased water bills and home filter expenses. The Environmental Management Commission will make the final call, with public hearings set for April 14th and May 12th. Advocates, inspired by New Jerseys settlements, are pushing for North Carolinas own lawsuits against chemical giants, aiming to influence the commissions decision in mid-May.
