A French company that has been blamed for contaminating drinking water in some New Hampshire communities with a group of chemicals known as PFAS says it plans to close its plant there and will work with the state on an ongoing environmental investigation.
In 2019, the state lowered the standard for PFOA from 70 parts per trillion to 12 parts per trillion and launched an extensive well sampling program. It identified 1,000 properties with contaminated water and determined the contamination was caused by emissions from the Merrimack plant.
There are 164 workers at the Merrimack plant. Saint-Gobain said alternative roles and relocation assistance will be offered to eligible employees who wish to remain with the company, and support packages will be made available to those who will not continue.
