Residents of Fort Edward, NY, oppose a PFAS soil treatment project due to health and environmental concerns.
Residents of Fort Edward, New York, are opposing a proposed two-week pilot project by Clean Earth to treat 5,000 tons of PFAS-contaminated soil using high-heat thermal desorption.
Though the town itself is not heavily polluted, locals fear risks to air, water, and soil from transporting hazardous waste from across the Northeast to a site near schools, parks, and the Hudson River.
Formed in 2024, the grassroots group The Fort Stops PFAS argues the project poses unacceptable health risks despite Clean Earth’s claims of no significant emissions and no future permits needed.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is reviewing the proposal.
