On Monday, March 17, Town Council unanimously approved a contract between the Town of Jackson and Alder Environmental for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing in surface water.
According to the Town of Jackson, high concentrations of PFAS have been found in freshwater fish in the North Fork of the Shoshone River near Cody. Town staff noted that not enough studies have been done to determine if there’s a presence of PFAS in Jackson Hole’s freshwater fish and surface water.
