Where would my case be heard?
Vermont has Burlington International Airport (Vermont ANG) as its primary military PFAS contamination site, with documented PFAS contamination affecting South Burlington-area groundwater. Vermont has been proactive in PFAS regulation and has set state drinking water standards for multiple PFAS compounds. Vermont's 3-year statute is relatively favorable.
Vermont personal injury claims are governed by 12 V.S.A. § 512, providing a 3-year limitations period. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Burlington International Airport (home of Vermont ANG 158th Fighter Wing) has documented PFAS from AFFF operations, with contamination affecting South Burlington area groundwater. Vermont ANR has been active in PFAS monitoring and has established Vermont-specific PFAS drinking water standards.
