• Chester farmland PFAS issue may be canary in coal mine (inklink.news) — PFAS contamination in soil at 611 Haverhill Road is delaying Chester's review of a 34-home Village at Buxton Farm subdivision and forcing officials to seek environmental guidance. The case could shape how Chester and other New Hampshire towns handle decades-old sludge use on farmland, groundwater monitoring, and future housing projects, with another Planning Board hearing set for Sept. 9.
