The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is hoping to have two new PFAS remediation positions filled by the end of March — eight months after they were created under the state budget, according to a report from The Capital Times.
The agency is on track to spend all $200,000 it was given to study PFAS, a group of chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and other health issues, before the funding disappears at the end of June.
More than 30 PFAS contaminated sites across the state have been identified. In Madison, two wells have tested positive for PFAS.
