In response to a letter submitted by the town of Greenland, New Hampshire’s top environmental enforcement officer has put the Coakley Landfill Group on notice regarding toxic chemicals leaching from the closed landfill into Berry’s Brook.
After attending a remote meeting of the Coakley Landfill Group (CLG) on April 14, Steven Smith, chairman of the Greenland Board of Selectmen, wrote a formal letter to Robert Scott, head of the NH Department of Environmental Services, flagging what he perceived as the CLG’s lack of seriousness and concern regarding PFAS and other chemicals leaching into the town’s groundwater.
Another PFAS detected in wells near Coakley Landfill
NORTH HAMPTON – Former state Rep. Mindi Messmer believes residents who live near the Coakley Landfill Superfund site should be concerned by detections of another PFAS contaminant in private wells.
“It is concerning because once again we have people exposed to a chemical that we have no enforceable standards for,” Messmer said after perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA) was found in private wells near the landfill. “Other states are taking steps to regulate PFOSA and New Hampshire needs to do the same.”
Messmer, a scientist and environmental activist, said that although there is no federal or state standard for PFOSA in water, residents need to be protected from the chemical.
