Tyco Fire Products
reached a settlement this month
with the state of Wisconsin
to clean up PFAs contamination
in Marinette County.
We turn to Jeff Lamont
a resident in Marinette
and a retired hydrologist.
But in your mind
this settlement barely
touches the problem.
Yeah, so
the settlement
we're not happy at all about it
because what it did, essentially
it said there was
the initial investigation area
and then there was an
expanded investigation area.
For 10 years, the DNR
had fought with Tyco about
the responsibility being beyond
this essential first area
that was investigated.
The contamination was the same.
I mean, and we're talking
in places where it's neighbors
right across the street.
Well, we're going to take care
of you on this side of the stree
but the other side of the street
that's not our contamination.
This lawsuit limited
their liability to just
the initial investigation area
and not the expanded
investigation area or the
3,000 acres of
contaminated biosolids that
was spread in Marinette County.
