Brockstedt Mandalas Federico Partner Chase Brockstedt spoke to WMDT about new concerns raised by a Johns Hopkins expert regarding PFAS contamination at Perdue’s Salisbury facility on Zion Church Road.
Dr. Carsten Prasse, an environmental chemist and professor at Johns Hopkins University, cautioned, noting: “While replacing the AFFF system may stop one source, it leaves untouched the many other onsite areas scattered throughout Perdue’s 300-acre property that have potentially received PFAS-contaminated materials. Not addressing the potential contamination of these sites may leach dangerous chemicals into groundwater flowing toward residential neighborhoods.”
BMF represents more than 500 Salisbury residents in a class action lawsuit, as well as in related claims under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in 2025. We remain committed to ensuring Perdue fully addresses all aspects of its environmental contamination.
Brockstedt shared, “We do not want to put Perdue out of business at all. But just because you are a big part of the community, just because you’re a big employer in the community, just because your family’s been around the community for a long time, does not mean that you have free reign to contaminate the community.”
