00:00:00,601 --> 00:00:01,635
Tyco Fire Products

2
00:00:01,702 --> 00:00:03,303
reached a settlement this month

3
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:04,938
with the state of Wisconsin

4
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:07,241
to clean up PFAs contamination

5
00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:08,475
in Marinette County.

6
00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:10,410
We turn to Jeff Lamont

7
00:00:10,477 --> 00:00:12,012
a resident in Marinette

8
00:00:12,079 --> 00:00:13,647
and a retired hydrologist.

9
00:00:13,714 --> 00:00:14,581
But in your mind

10
00:00:14,648 --> 00:00:15,716
this settlement barely

11
00:00:15,782 --> 00:00:17,417
touches the problem.

12
00:00:17,484 --> 00:00:18,685
Yeah, so

13
00:00:18,752 --> 00:00:20,420
the settlement

14
00:00:21,321 --> 00:00:23,123
we're not happy at all about it

15
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:25,459
because what it did, essentially

16
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:27,194
it said there was

17
00:00:27,528 --> 00:00:29,963
the initial investigation area

18
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:30,731
and then there was an

19
00:00:30,797 --> 00:00:33,634
expanded investigation area.

20
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,402
For 10 years, the DNR

21
00:00:35,469 --> 00:00:37,337
had fought with Tyco about

22
00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:39,806
the responsibility being beyond

23
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:42,209
this essential first area

24
00:00:42,276 --> 00:00:43,744
that was investigated.

25
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:45,512
The contamination was the same.

26
00:00:45,579 --> 00:00:46,580
I mean, and we're talking

27
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:48,649
in places where it's neighbors

28
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:49,783
right across the street.

29
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,118
Well, we're going to take care

30
00:00:51,185 --> 00:00:52,419
of you on this side of the stree

31
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:53,787
but the other side of the street

32
00:00:53,854 --> 00:00:56,056
that's not our contamination.

33
00:00:56,123 --> 00:00:57,858
This lawsuit limited

34
00:00:57,925 --> 00:00:59,560
their liability to just

35
00:00:59,626 --> 00:01:02,095
the initial investigation area

36
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:03,163
and not the expanded

37
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:05,666
investigation area or the

38
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:07,401
3,000 acres of

39
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:09,503
contaminated biosolids that

40
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:12,573
was spread in Marinette County.
