This settlement does not affect purely private PFAS lawsuits filed by individuals against 3M. New Jersey's National Leadership in Combating PFAS Contamination Today's settlement builds on New Jersey's ongoing national leadership in combating PFAS contamination. For instance, New Jersey reached a landmark settlement with Solvay regarding PFAS and other contamination at its site in West Deptford in 2023. Solvay has paid New Jersey $75 million for NRD, $100 million for DEP to assist with remediation projects, and $3.7 million for DEP's past costs for investigation and cleanup. In addition, Solvay and DEP are in the process of cleaning up the West Deptford site itself and remediating water in and near the site. Solvay has guaranteed that it will maintain funding for that cleanup work in the amount of $214 million.
