2016 - Since 1851 Fears About Water Supply Grip Village That Made Teflon Products Jesse McKinley HOOSICK FALLS, N.Y. — One resident called 911 asking whether the village’s water would burn his skin off. Families have lined up to have their blood drawn and their wells tested. Banks stopped giving out mortgages, and some local residents stopped washing their dishes, their clothes and themselves. Erin Brockovich has been to town. Such are the unpleasant contours of a public health emergency that is playing out in Hoosick Falls, a quiet river-bend village near the New York-Vermont border that has been upended by disclosures that the public water supply was tainted with high levels of perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, a toxic chemical linked in some studies to an increased risk for cancer, thyroid disease and serious complications during pregnancy. 21 Statewide monitoring: developing a rapid response program Develop a state-wide coordination of water analysis laboratories and strategies for collecting water samples Convene a working group to identify critical contaminants that need to be part of the assessment Develop a protocol for updating the list as new contaminants are identified Launch a demonstration program in 2016 over a small area (1 or 2 counties) Propose a state-wide program in 2017 with committed participants ready to engage 22 Summary of key points 2. Suspect screening is a powerful new tool that helps emerging contaminants “emerge” 4. A statewide rapid response program has been proposed and is currently under review. Tompkins County is under consideration as a potential demonstration site 3. Septic systems are an underexplored source of emerging chemical contaminants 1. A collaborative monitoring program has been underway for two years
