"Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown says the amount of funds the state will seek from W.L. Gore for its alleged role in contaminating drinking water with PFAS chemicals is “likely a very large number.”

Brown said there were extensive damages for past and future contamination caused by Gore’s factory in Cecil County.

“I can tell you that the components of our damage claim right is to remediate the harm that's been done, the cost of abatement, to prevent future harm, and then to the extent that there's been - and we suspect that there has been - harm to people and communities, then we'll seek recovery in that regard as well,” Brown said during a press conference Monday."
