Why it matters
The foam fractionation system will be co-located at the Anson Landfill. Waste Connections wants to be “proactive” in a region where PFAS contamination from other industries is a source of tension.
PFAS management efforts are especially timely in North Carolina, where the state’s Department of Environmental Quality has required most solid waste landfills to conduct regular PFAS analyses of groundwater, surface water and leachate samples since 2023.
North Carolina has also made headlines in recent years over broader PFAS contamination concerns. Residents have long spoken out against industrial PFAS pollution in the Cape Fear River Basin and the surrounding region, particularly from companies like Chemours. That company in June settled a multimillion dollar federal lawsuit over PFAS contamination issues and agreed to enact PFAS mitigation plans.
