Stem on Tap: Minnesota’s PFAS Journey
Come listen to Fawkes F. S. Char, Planning Director State | Agency PFAS Coordinator talk about MN’s PFAS Journey on Wednesday October 7, 2026 from 4:30-6:30p at 9 Mile Brewing.
PFAS chemicals were first found in Minnesota groundwater in the early 2000s, spurring decades of research into their presence and potential health impacts. In 2021, several Minnesota state agencies came together to publish the PFAS Blueprint, which identified potential paths forward to prevent, mitigate, and clean up PFAS pollution across Minnesota. This presentation covers the progress Minnesota state agencies have made to address PFAS, especially since publishing the PFAS Blueprint, and where we’re headed next.
