SUMMARY: The 130th Legislature authorized a Fund to Address PFAS Contamination ( 7 M.R.S.A., Chapter 10-D). Permissible uses include support for research that informs short-term farm management decisions and assesses future options for viable uses of agricultural land that has been contaminated with PFAS. Consistent with the legislatively mandated PFAS Fund Implementation Plan, these rules establish the procedures for a competitive research grant program, including the role of the proposal review panel, criteria for granting awards consistent with the purpose of the legislation, appeals, and other administrative procedures not specified in legislation.
