New Hampshire lawmakers urge the Air Force to fund PFAS cleanup at Pease before Portsmouth drinking water loses compliance.
Quiver AI Summary
Delegation seeks action on PFAS contamination: New Hampshire’s congressional delegation — Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, and Reps. Chris Pappas and Maggie Goodlander — sent a letter to the Air Force asking for a firm timeline to fund and treat PFAS contamination in two Portsmouth drinking water wells.
Letter cites compliance concerns: The lawmakers said the wells draw from an aquifer beneath the former Pease Air Force base and that contamination has been linked to PFOA and PFOS. They said the wells supply about 1.3 million gallons a day, and warned Portsmouth could face Safe Drinking Water Act compliance issues without prompt action.
Request for negotiations: The delegation asked the Air Force to contact the city and negotiate an agreement to pay for design and construction of a PFAS treatment facility for the Portsmouth and Collins wells.
