Filing venue
Where to File in Maine
Maine personal injury claims involving toxic substances are governed by Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 14 § 752, providing a 6-year limitations period — the most favorable in the nation for PFAS claimants, reflecting Maine's legislative recognition of the PFAS crisis. Maine also has military PFAS contamination at Bangor International Airport (Maine ANG 101st Air Refueling Wing) and the former Loring AFB in Limestone. The Stoneridge Farm case in Fairfield became a national reference point for biosolids PFAS contamination. Maine has banned the land application of PFAS-containing biosolids as of 2022.

Exposure in Maine
Maine's Stoneridge Farm and dozens of other farms across Kennebec, Somerset, Penobscot, and other counties received PFAS-laden sewage sludge as fertilizer for years. Private well testing revealed extreme PFAS concentrations. Maine banned biosolids land application in 2022.
