New Jersey Reaches $2B Settlement with DuPont Over Contamination

Narrative A

This massive settlement shows that polluters can't hide behind corporate restructuring to avoid responsibility. DuPont spun off Chemours in 2015 to dodge PFAS liability, but New Jersey held all three companies accountable for decades of contamination. The deal ensures taxpayers won't foot the cleanup bill while providing resources to protect drinking water and restore damaged natural resources.
