The agreement would resolve 3M's liability for PFAS contamination from the Chambers Works complex in Pennsville and Carneys Point in Salem County.

M will pay the state of New Jersey up to $450 million through the next 25 years to settle claims of PFAS contamination. The Maplewood-based manufacturer sold the “forever chemicals” to the DuPont Chambers Works facility in the Garden State for many years.

New Jersey reaches a $450 million settlement with 3M over PFAS contamination, addressing long-standing environmental and health concerns.
