Louise Roy, environmental hydrogeologist with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, will give an overview of PFAS then transition into surface water and fish related data. Her work relates to the investigation, remediation, and monitoring of sites contaminated by hazardous substances all over Maine. She studies sites contaminated with PFAS as outlined in LD1600 “An Act to Investigate Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Contamination of Land and Groundwater,” according to a news release from Tammy Packie with Downeast.
