Join Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District for dinner and a presentation by Fawkes Char (MPCA) on the current status of Minnesota’s PFAS Blueprint.

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 made in the almost five years since publication, with special attention to work done to understand PFAS in water.

Fawkes currently serves as the Agency PFAS Coordinator at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). In this role, Fawkes coordinates and collaborates with staff and leadership across the MPCA and at other state agencies, and acts as liaison with other states, federal partners, and a variety of stakeholders to advance the goals identified under Minnesota’s PFAS Blueprint. Fawkes’ expertise ranges from media-specific technical issues to big-picture policy considerations.

This FREE workshop will be held at the Forest Lake Senior Community Center (767 4th St SW, Forest Lake, MN 55025) starting at 6:00 p.m. The workshop includes an hour presentation, a box supper, and time for open discussion after the presentation.

Please RSVP before Friday, February 6th for this workshop, so we have an accurate headcount for food and seating. To register, please contact the CLFLWD at 651-395-5850 or by email.
