1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope of Report
I have been asked by counsel to review the site information and associated documents concerning the disposal of liquid and residual solid wastes containing perfluorocarbon compounds ("PFCs") generated by 3M Company at their Cottage Grove facility. These wastes were disposed of at the Cottage Grove facility, the Oakdale disposal site, the Woodbury disposal site, and the Washington County Landfill located in Washington County, Minnesota. Specifically, I was asked to address the following topics:
What 3M knew or should have known regarding the contamination of groundwater by 3M's PFC-containing wastes at its four waste disposal sites and when 3M knew or should have known it; and
Whether 3M exercised reasonable care when disposing of its PFC-containing wastes at its four disposal sites and allowing releases from those disposal sites to continue.
I have reviewed the reports, documents, deposition transcripts, and various other materials provided by counsel and gathered independently and offer my professional opinions in this report. A list of the materials I have reviewed is contained in Attachment 1 to this report. The types of documents that I have reviewed, including patents, scientific publications, 3M's reports and internal communications, 3M's communications with regulatory agencies and the public, are those that would reasonably be relied upon in the preparation of an expert report.
As more fully detailed in the body of this report, I offer the following professional opinions to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty:
1. By the early 1950s, 3M knew or should have known that pollutants from landfilled industrial wastes would reach the groundwater beneath its disposal sites and would pose a potential threat of harm to human health and the environment and harm the State's natural resources. By the early 1960s, 3M knew that groundwater beneath at least two of its disposal sites was contaminated with industrial organic chemicals, which were components of its waste.
2. 3M failed to exercise reasonable care in connection with its disposal of PFCs and PFC-containing wastes because it disposed of them without regard for harm to human health and the environment. Further, 3M failed to exercise reasonable care by failing to prevent the continued release of PFCs into the groundwater and the Mississippi River after they were disposed of at 3M's Minnesota sites.

1.2 Personal Background and Qualifications
From 1970 through 2001, I was employed as a Professor of Soil and Crop Sciences in the Soil and Crop Sciences Department, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. I currently serve as Professor Emeritus in the Soil and Crop Sciences Department, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. In 1990, I received a joint appointment to the faculty in Toxicology at Texas A&M University, where I supervised the research of masters degree and doctoral candidates in the field of toxicology. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Agronomy from Delaware Valley College (1962), Masters of Science degree in Agronomy/Plant Physiology from Cornell University (1964), and Doctor of Philosophy degree from University of Nebraska (1969). My resume is presented as Attachment 2, and includes a complete list of my publications.
While a member of the faculty at Texas A&M University, I conducted extensive research including numerous research projects for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA") and the National Institute of Health ("NIH") on the fate and transport of contaminants, including pathways of exposure and toxicity of hazardous substances to receptors in the environment. As a result of these research efforts, I have authored or co-authored over 190 peer-reviewed, scientific publications, including numerous articles dealing with the disposal and treatment of waste materials, including Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") hazardous wastes and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") hazardous substances contained therein and the problems arising therefrom. Additionally, I have authored or co-authored over 35 publications which deal with risk assessment or toxicity of hazardous substances in the environment. I have conducted research in a national center funded by the USEPA to study the fate of hazardous substances in the environment.
The research I conducted on the mobility of organic liquids through clay landfill liners was instrumental in the incorporation of the prohibition of land disposal of liquid wastes in the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments in 1984 (P.L. 98-616, 1984). Extensive research that I conducted on landfill liners was instrumental in the development and implementation of regulations which now require that both hazardous and municipal landfills must be lined and all leachate must be collected and removed for treatment. I authored the USEPA guidance document on the land treatment of hazardous wastes, and portions of the USEPA guidance document on the design of landfill liners. I authored a publication for USEPA where I surveyed the characteristics of the hazardous wastes generated by industry based on the SIC code of the industry.
During my tenure at Texas A&M University, I taught courses in Soil Physics which included topics on the movement of air, water, and other fluids in the soil, and a graduate course on the land disposal of wastes, which included consideration of the principles and practices applicable to the fate, mobility, and clean-up of contaminated sites. Students in these classes included engineers, soil scientists, chemists, and geologists. I have served on hundreds of advanced degree committees in these and related disciplines.
I have served on technical advisory panels to the USEPA, committees of the Office of Technical Assessment, and the National Academy of Science. Significant reports resulting from these committee assignments include, Groundwater and Soil Cleanup, Improving Management of Persistent Contaminants (1999); Ranking Hazardous Waste Sites (1994); Coming Clean,

Superfund Problems Can be Solved (1989); and Superfund Strategy (1985). I was the primary author of a 1983 publication for the USEPA entitled Hazardous Waste Land Treatment. This publication specifically addressed the treatment of hazardous wastes from industrial waste streams to mitigate risk during treatment and eliminate risk to potential receptors.
In 1981, I was appointed to the USEPA Land Treatment Task Force where I served from 1981 through 1985. As part of my assignment with the Task Force, I evaluated the alternatives for land disposal of wastes and the risk associated with the disposal alternatives. While a member of this Task Force, I testified before the U.S. House of Representatives - Science and Technology Committee in November 1982 on the adequacy of USEPA's liquid management system to protect groundwater at hazardous waste landfills, which lead to the passage of the Hazardous and Solid Wastes Amendments of 1984 under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
In 1983 and 1984, I was a member of the Advisory Panel to U.S. Congressional Office of Technology Assessment. This panel was tasked with determining the effectiveness of current USEPA programs to clean up uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. As part of my assignment with this committee, I reviewed and evaluated the toxicity and imposed risk to receptors due to hazardous substances and provided recommendations for improving the efficiency of USEPA programs to mitigate risk at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites.
In 1984, I was a member of the Office of Water Regulations and Standards Committee on Municipal Sludge Landfilling, which was formed to advise USEPA on the pollutants which should be regulated for disposal and the methods or procedures to be used for regulating such pollutants. As part of my work for this committee, I assessed the hazards and risk associated with the hazardous substances contained in municipal sewage sludge and provided recommendations for regulation of metals in sewage sludge based on the degree of risk presented by exposure to these metals.
From 1987 through 1995, I was a member of the Advisory Panel to U.S. Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, which was tasked with assessing the effectiveness of the USEPA in identifying, prioritizing and cleaning up hazardous waste sites. As part of my work for this committee, I evaluated the impacts of exposure from different media and the effectiveness of available technologies to mitigate exposure and risk from hazardous waste sites.
From 1991 through 1994, I served on the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Remedial Action Priorities for Hazardous Waste Sites, where I evaluated the role of risk assessment and mitigation of risk in the decision process for remedial action.
From 1995 through 1998, I served on the National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council Committee on Environmental Technologies Subcommittee on Landfills. As part of my assignment to this committee, I evaluated the risk due to contaminants in soil and groundwater and recommended strategies for the management and control of recalcitrant wastes for the reduction of risk due to these persistent contaminants.
In addition, I have served on numerous USEPA review panels addressing toxicity and risk including the following, among others:

USEPA Panel to Review the Acceptability of Landfill Disposal of Sewage Sludge (1984);
USEPA Panel to Write a Protocol for Mutagenicity Sample Preparation (1984);
USEPA Hazardous Waste Center Review Panel (1988); and
USEPA Review for Risk Assessment for Petroleum Industry Hazardous Waste Listing Determination (1995).
I am personally familiar with the definition of "hazardous substance" as defined in 101(14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and under the statutes and regulations incorporated by reference into that section. A hazardous substance under CERCLA is defined in 42 U.S.C. 9601 (14), invoking the EPA designations under 42 U.S.C. 3001 and 9602, among other statutes. Included in the definition of a CERCLA hazardous substance are certain hazardous wastes which are either listed in 40 C.F.R 261, Subpart D or have certain identified characteristics as described in 40 C.F.R. 261, Subpart C.
Further, I have studied and am familiar with industrial, commercial, and residential wastes, and the landfills that eventually contain such waste. I have researched the risks associated with leachate from landfills containing these wastes. I have also investigated the partitioning, biodegradation, mobility, volatilization, solubility and reactivity of organic compounds found in leachate from landfills and the resulting fate and transport in both surface water and groundwater. I have reviewed numerous remedial plans and proposed remedies pertaining to landfills containing industrial, commercial, and residential wastes. I have also served as a reviewer of toxicological profiles of hazardous substances for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry ("ATSDR").
I have been a consultant in the field of environmental science and engineering for the past 37 years. I founded K. W. Brown and Associates, Inc., and served as President from 1980 until 1991. I was employed as a Principal Consultant with K. W. Brown Environmental Services from 1991 until 1999 and with SI Group, LP from 2000 to 2008. From January 2009 through March 2011, I was employed as a Principal Consultant with TTI Environmental Consultants. I have been employed as an independent consultant since April 2011.
Through these years of consulting, numerous private and public clients have employed me. My expertise has been utilized for site assessments, data review and interpretation, waste management activities, the study of fate and transport of contaminants in the environment, the movement of contaminants in groundwater, the design and implementation of remedial actions for recalcitrant organic compounds, and other related environmental matters. I have also reviewed and interpreted a large quantity of analytical data for soils and groundwater, as well as borings logs, field logs, technical reports, and other information related to the environmental conditions of a site.
As a consultant, I have evaluated or analyzed numerous waste disposal and landfill sites including the following: Laurel Park Landfill, Beacon Heights Landfill, Lone Pine Landfill, Ft.

2. 3M'S FLUOROCHEMICAL PRODUCTION AND DISPOSAL
2.1 Properties of PFCs
Perfluorocarbon compounds, or PFCs, are any chemical in a family of synthetic chemicals that contains a perfluorinated (fully fluorinated) carbon chain consisting of 1 to 16 carbon atoms with a functional end group consisting of at least one double bond.
PFCs do not occur in nature and were developed as a part of the research associated with the Manhattan Project during World War II. PFCs have similar molecular structure as their corresponding hydrocarbon compounds, except with complete replacement of all hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule with fluorine. The principal compounds at issue in this suit, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), are PFCs.
From my review of the scientific literature, it is my understanding that many important properties of PFCs were known as a result of the early work by Dr. Joseph Simons, a research fellow at Pennsylvania State University, and numerous 3M researchers. Shortly after the public disclosure of the electrochemical fluorination process during the 114th annual meeting of the American Chemical Society on September 15, 1948, 3M purchased patents from Dr. Simons related to the manufacture of perfluorochemicals (Simons, 1950a). 3M also employed several former graduate students of Dr. Simons to prepare new compounds and develop new markets for these perfluorochemicals (Simons, 1948; Simons, 1949; Brice, 1950; Guenthner and Vietor, 1962; Bryce, 1964; Pearlson, 1968).1
R eactivity. Early patent applications and the scientific literature document that the chemical stability of PFCs was well understood before commercial production of PFCs began at the 3M Cottage Grove facility. Dr. Simons' 1948 patent application, for example, noted that PFCs were "non-corrosive, and of little chemical reactivity." PFCs "do not react with any of the metals at ordinary temperatures and react only with the more chemically reactive metals such as sodium, at elevated temperatures" (Simons, 1948). Another patent application filed the following year explained that PFCs do not react with other compounds or reagents due to the sheath of fluorine atoms surrounding the carbon skeleton of the molecule (Simons, 1949). These highly stable PFCs were developed to provide non-reactive solid and liquid chemicals with low surface tensions that could withstand high temperatures and would not react with highly reactive materials such as oxygen (Simons, 1949; Bryce, 1964). It is the stability of the carbon-tofluorine bonds in the PFCs and the lack of attraction for other chemical species that prevent the PFCs from undergoing further chemical reactions or degrading under natural processes in the environment (Simons, 1950b). As Bryce recognized, "[t]his chemical stability also extends itself to all types of biological processes; there are no known biological organisms that are able to attack the carbon-fluorine bond in a fluorocarbon" (Bryce, 1964).
3M was well aware of these chemical properties of PFCs because T.J. B rice and H.G. B ryce were 3M employees as well as former graduate students under Joseph Simons, and 3M

acquired many of Simons' patents related to fluorochemicals (3M, 2007 [3MA02527087]). 3M's knowledge of this and other basic properties was demonstrated by, among many other things, a 1949 3M sales brochure, which described the chemical and physical properties of PFBA, and a 1963 3M sales brochure on its fluorochemical surfactants, which touted their chemical and thermal stability (3M, 1949 [3M_MN03109500]; 3M, 1963 [3MA01201629]).
T herm al Stability. The thermal stability of PFCs was understood prior to the start of commercial production of PFCs by 3M. In 1947, two researchers from Columbia reported that fluorocarbon compounds did not degrade at temperatures as high as 500 C (932F), even in the presence of catalytic materials (Grosse and Cady, 1947). Simons' patent application posited that PFCs were thermally stable at temperatures up to 750 C (1382 F) (Simons, 1948; Simons et al., 1949) . These PFCs were non-reactive and thermally stable due to the strength and stability of the carbon-to-fluorine bonds (Simons, 1949; Brice, 1950). Additional research by 3M expanded the understanding of the thermal stability of these perfluorocarbon compounds. As Bryce explained in his 1964 work, fracture of the carbon-to-carbon bonds in the PFCs may take place at temperatures from 600 to 1000 C (1112 to 1832 F) depending on the carbon chain length; the carbon-to-fluorine bond is much stronger and can require temperatures of 1200 C (2192 F) to break (Bryce, 1964).
Solubility. As discussed further below, 3M was capable of producing a variety of PFCs at its Cottage Grove facility. From my review of 3M documents, it is my understanding that many of the PFCs produced by 3M, including PFOS, PFOA, and PFBA, in addition to the salts of PFOS, PFOA, and PFBA, would readily dissolve in water. In 3M's 1949 sales brochure, they advertised that PFBA was miscible in water at 20 C. The same brochure indicated that the salts of PFBA are highly soluble, ranging from 42.2 grams to 493 grams per 100 grams of water (3M, 1949 [3M_MN03109500]). In 1962, testing of PFOS-based surfactants indicated that these compounds were very soluble (Guenthner and Vietor, 1962). A 1963 brochure on 3M's fluorochemical surfactants confirmed that 3M was aware that many of its fluorochemical surfactants, including PFOS, were soluble in water. That brochure, for example, indicated that the solubility of FC-95 (the potassium salt of PFOS) in water was 2 grams of FC-95 per liter of water (3M, 1963 [3MA01201629]). More broadly, numerous PFCs manufactured by 3M, including fluorocarbon carboxylic acids and fluorocarbon sulfonic acids such as PFOA and PFOS, dissolved when mixed with water (Bryce, 1964). 3M knew by 1964 that when dissolved, fluorocarbon carboxylic acids and fluorocarbon sulfonic acids dissociated2 to form highly stable perfluorocarboxylate and perfluorosulfonate ions (Bryce, 1964). Later studies by 3M on the adsorption and mobility of FC-95 and FC-143 (the ammonium salt of PFOA) in soils indicated very high solubilities and very high mobilities in soils for both compounds (3M, 1978 [3MA10036129]).
R esistan ce to D egradation. Because of their very limited reactivity and the high thermal stability of the perfluorinated carbon chain, PFCs do not degrade in the environment (Brice, 1950) . The breaking of a carbon-to-fluorine bond required the input of large amounts of energy
2 By dissolving in water, the chemical compounds will dissociate by separating into their component ions (charged particles) in the solution. For acids like PFOA, the ions will include perfluorooctanoate and the hydrogen ion. The released hydrogen ion will increase the acidity and decrease the pH of the solution.

to overcome the attraction of carbon for fluorine. Chemical and physical processes occurring in nature lack sufficient energy to break carbon-to-fluorine bonds and without this input of energy, the carbon-to-fluorine bonds remain intact. "This chemical stability also extends itself to all types of biological processes; there are no known biological organisms that are able to attack the carbon-fluorine bond in a fluorocarbon" (Bryce, 1964). From the chemical stability of the carbon-to-fluorine bond, 3M knew that the PFCs were immune to chemical and biological degradation in soils and groundwater. A 1971 internal memo by H.G. B ryce stated that "the thesis that there is `no natural sink' for fluorocarbons obviously demands some attention," meaning that PFCs released to the environment will never degrade (3M, 1971 [3MA02496587]).
In natural environments, PFCs do not undergo degradation of the carbon-to-fluorine bonds of the perfluorinated carbon chain. However, the non-fluorinated, functional group of the PFCs will partially degrade, yielding recalcitrant PFCs such as PFOS, PFOA, and PFBA, which resist further degradation. Basic weathering and degradation reactions, such as hydrolysis,3 occur at the non-fluorinated, functional group end of the molecule, producing the original fluorocarbon compound (Pearlson, 1950)--such as PFOS, PFOA, or PFBA--from which other PFCs were made (3M, 1979 [3M_MN00000151]). In this manner, derivative compounds containing the C7F15- group were converted to PFOA and derivative compounds containing the C8F17SO2- group reverted to PFOS (Bryce, 1964). In sum, 3M knew that the perfluorinated components of PFCs released to the environment would not degrade the perfluorinated carbon structure, but would remain intact (Brice, 1950).
Later 3M research on the biodegradation of its fluorochemical compounds confirmed these results (Bacon, 2017 (pp. 40-48)). A 1976 study, for example, observed no biodegradation of FC-95, the potassium salt of PFOS. 3M judged the result of the study "unsurprising" in light of the fact that "[b]iodegradation of FC 95 is improbable because it is completely fluorinated" (3M, 1976 [3MA01252037]). A 3M report from 1978 likewise summarized a "quite extensive" set of studies of the biodegradability of FM-3422, a compound manufactured from PFOS, and concluded that "FM 3422 is likely to persist in the environment for extended periods unaltered by metabolic attack" (3M, 1978 3MA00717615]). Studies of FC-95 and FC-143 (the ammonium salt of PFOA) conducted in 1978 likewise concluded that those compounds were "likely to persist in the environment for extended periods unaltered by microbial catabolism" (3M, 1978 [3MA10054929]).
3 Typically, hydrolysis is a chemical process where a molecule of water is substituted or added at the functional group of the PFC derivative. The addition of water cleaves the nonfluorinated portion of the molecule from the fluorinated carbon tail.

2.2 3M's Production of PFOS, PFOA, PFBA, and Related Compounds
The E lectro ch em ica l F lu orin ation Process. 3M used the Simons electrochemical fluorination (ECF) process to produce PFCs (Simons, 1950a; 3M, 2007 [3MA02527087]). It is my understanding based on my independent review of the available documents that the ECF process consisted of a combination of an electrochemical cell with condensers, a sodium hydroxide reactor and driers for the removal of excess hydrogen fluoride and outlets from the cell for the collection of the liquid, fluorinated carbon-containing product mixtures (Simons, 1950a; Simons, 1950b).
The ECF process created mixtures of a number of fluorinated carbon compounds. This mixture of product compounds required further separation by a process called fractional distillation,4which separated the mixture into distinct "fractions," each with a distinct boiling point range (Simons et al., 1949). The segregated fractions of fluorochemical products were collected for direct use in 3M product mixtures, used as building blocks for the production of other fluorinated compounds, or discarded as waste (Dworak, 2012 (p. 190); 3M, 2000 [3MA00001260]).
P rodu ction o f Various PFCs. By upscaling the electrochemical fluorination process developed by Dr. Simons, the production of fluorocarbon compounds became commercially feasible. Simons and Brice wrote that "[t]he first commercial plant for the production of fluorocarbons and their derivatives by the electrochemical process was put into operation near Hastings, Minnesota, in October 1951" (Simons and Brice, 1954).
From this point, 3M began its commercial production of fluorocarbons at its Cottage Grove facility near Hastings, Minnesota. In its early years, it operated on a relatively modest scale, producing some 250 pounds of fluorocarbon product per day in 1954 (Simons and Brice, 1954). 3M quickly expanded its production to include an entire facility devoted to the production of PFCs within its Chemolite plant. The electrochemical fluorination process for the manufacture of PFOA remained essentially the same at 3M's Cottage Grove plant from the first initial batch produced in the early 1950s through the phase out of production in 2002 (Dworak, 2012 (p. 35)).
3M used the ECF process to develop a wide variety of PFCs. Different hydrocarbon compounds containing elements other than carbon or hydrogen were sometimes used as the "feed stock," or starting materials, to develop PFCs (3M, 2000 [3MA00001260]). Some of these additional hydrocarbon starting materials retained the reactive properties of the original hydrocarbon feed stock after fluorination (Simons, 1949; Simons et al., 1949).5 This work was
4 Fractional distillation is a chemical separation process where a mixture of different compounds are separated based on the boiling points of the individual compounds in the mixture. This is achieved by repeatedly heating and boiling the mixture of compounds; because the various compounds in the mixture have different boiling points, they physically separate during this heating process.
5 In hydrocarbon compounds, an atom other than carbon attached in the skeletal structure is called a heteroatom. Functional groups are groups of two or more, non-carbon containing atoms.

based in part on the research of Dr. Simons at Penn State, demonstrating that organic acids and sulfonyl halides, when used as the starting materials for the fluorination process, produced perfluorinated compounds while retaining their organic functional groups (Simons et al., 1949; Pearlson, 1950; Simons and Brice, 1954).6 This technique was used by 3M to manufacture PFOS, PFOA, PFBA, and related compounds (Simons, 1949; Simons, 1950a; Scholberg and B ryce, 1955; B rice and Trott, 1956).
The presence of a heteroatom or a functional group within the hydrocarbon molecule imparts different properties to the substance. 6 Organic acids and sulfonyl halides are examples of functional groups that remain unchanged in the chemical structure upon fluorination of the starting materials.

2.3 Composition of 3M's PFC-Containing Waste Streams
From the beginning of the manufacture of PFCs, anyone with a knowledge of the chemistry and the manufacturing processes would have known that the wastes produced from the production of PFCs contained residual perfluorochemicals (3M, 1983 [3M_MN02571703]). 3M employed chemists and engineers who specialized in the production and product development of PFCs including T.J. Brice, H.G. Bryce, P. W. Trott, R.A. Guenthner, M.L. Vietor, H.M. Scholberg, R.I. Coon, D.G. Weiblen and W.H. Pearlson, among others. These chemists and engineers were highly trained, specializing in the manufacturing and production steps needed to separate and isolate the individual products. Therefore, 3M knew that the production wastes contained PFCs. These wastes included processing wastes, such as acid tars and resinous materials, fractionation wastes, waste solvents, solid materials, and off-specification products containing PFCs (3M, 1983 [3M_MN02571703]; 3M, 2000 [3MA00001260]; 3M, 1993 [3MA00206150]).
Varieties of PFC-Containing Wastes
During most of the period considered by this report, 3M did not classify its wastes in terms of their perfluorochemical content. In the 1950s and 1960s, 3M classified its wastes using rudimentary categories such as acid tars; dry scrap, such as paper, pallets, production scrap, and cardboard; wet scrap, such as liquid and semi-solid mixtures and materials contaminated with solvents, resins, waste solvents, and nonpumpable residue (3M, 1963 [3MA00456368]; 3M, 1980 [3MA01248573]). As 3M itself has explained: "The manufacturing process for sulfonated perfluorochemicals is complicated. There are more than 600 intermediate manufacturing steps associated with the production of POSF and POSF-based products. This translates into hundreds of process steps that require venting or that generate wastewater or solid waste" (3M, 2000 [3MA00045043]). POSF is the raw intermediate used to make PFOS (3M, 2000 [3MA00001260]).
By the late 1960's, 3M wastes were separated into three broad categories, namely dry scrap wastes, wet scrap wastes, and extra hazardous wastes (Lewis et al., 1976). Hazardous wastes originating from 3M operations would have included dirty solvents from coating operations, mother liquors from chemical reactions, spent cleaning solutions, reject products, and nonmarketable items, as well as other wastes ( Van Noordwyk and Santoro, 1978).
It is my understanding from my review of 3M documents that wastes containing PFCs from the perfluorochemical manufacturing processes included the following, among others. Furthermore, I concur with the waste streams identified in Dr. Andrews report.
hydrofluoric acid tars, sometimes known as HF tars or acid tars, that resulted from the operation of the electrochemical cell;
fractionation bottoms, or unwanted perfluorochemical by-products or residuals separated from the desired product during the fractionation step of the manufacturing process;

cleaning and process wastes resulting from the cleaning of equipment used in the manufacturing process and from numerous other steps of the manufacturing process;
laboratory and pilot-scale testing wastes including waste chemicals, spent solvents and other solid wastes contaminated with fluorocarbons;
fluorochemical inerts, low boiling point by-products that were removed during the fluorination and distillation processes. Fluorochemical inerts are composed of short perfluorinated or partially-fluorinated carbons chains, either with or without a functional group, and other related by-products;
wastewater treatment plant sludge, including solid waste materials, which settled to the bottom of the wastewater treatment pond (until 1962) or wastewater treatment plant settlement ponds (after 1962); and
incinerator ash and incinerator wastewater sludge produced once the incinerator built at the Cottage Grove facility began operation in 1971.
3M's Knowledge
When assembling its research and production team, 3M hired Ph.D.-level scientists and engineers with hands-on knowledge in the manufacture of fluorochemical compounds. This team worked regularly to optimize the ECF process and improve the efficiency of the stabilization and/or separation of the finished products, as well as designing and synthesizing new materials for additional markets. Because 3M understood the chemistry and engineering underlying electrochemical fluorination and other elements of its manufacturing processes, 3M knew or should have known that the wastes described in this section contained PFCs.
A c id tars. The early patent documents, prepared by Dr. Joseph Simons, disclosed that the formation of acidic tars, resinous residuals containing fluorochemicals, were produced by the ECF process (Simons, 1948; Simons, 1950b). 3M was aware that these tars--often called "acid tars" or "HF tars"--contained PFCs even before it began producing PFCs on a commercial scale (3M, 1983 [3M_MN02571703]; 3M, 2000 [3MA00001260]). Testing conducted in 1963 attempted to increase the recovery of hydrofluoric acid and the recovery of PFC product intermediates by dissolving the residual tars in fuming sulfuric acid, but proved unsuccessful (3M, 1974 [3MA01201775]). The very fact that 3M was trying to recover PFCs from the acid tars clearly demonstrated that they knew that the tars contained PFCs.
F ractionation bottom s. Research results by Dr. Joseph Simons on the ECF process also disclosed that the fluorination process produced a mixture of fluorinated products, which must be separated rather than one specific product (Simons, 1949b; Simons, 1950b). The mixture of products from the electrochemical fluorination process occurred as fluorocarbon compounds of differing carbon chain lengths including fully saturated fluorocarbons and other compounds with incomplete replacement of hydrogen by fluorine (Simons and Brice, 1954). Wastes from these processing steps contained residual PFCs. (3M, 1983 [3M_MN 02571703]; 3M, 2000 [3MA00001260]). A 1981 3M memo indicates that 3M sought to recover additional

fluorocarbons from these wastes, confirming that 3M knew that they contained PFCs (3M, 1981 [3MA00082742]; Dworak, 2012 (p. 172)).
C leanin g w astes a n d p ro cess w astew aters. 3M knew or should have known that cleaning wastes and process wastewaters contained PFCs. Due to the need to fractionate the raw products from the electrochemical fluorination steps and the stabilization/workup needed for the production of specialized perfluorochemicals, water and organic solvents were often used to clean vessels used in the production steps. In his deposition, Mr. Dworak stated, "any solution used to boil out the cell bodies went down the sewer to wastewater treatment and the water used from the pressure blasting went down the sewer to wastewater treatment" as well (Dworak, 2012 (p. 104)). The washwater and these solvents, containing PFCs, were typically drained to the chemical sewer. Likewise, laboratory and pilot-scale testing wastes would have included PFCs as components of their waste streams. These cleaning and processing wastes also contained PFCs (3M, 1983 [3M_MN02571703]; Dworak, 2012 (pp. 104-07, 123-24, 167, 184-85). Given 3M's knowledge of the production processes used to manufacture PFCs, 3M knew or should have known that the cleaning wastes and process wastewaters resulting from the PFC manufacturing process would contain PFCs.
F lu oroch em ical inerts. 3M knew or should have known that fluorochemical inerts contained PFCs. Incompletely fluorinated byproducts were typically collected by 3M from the ECF process for further use as solvents and carriers in subsequent batch processes or as starting materials in the ECF process (3M, 2000 [3MA00001260]). 3M knew or should have known that small amounts of fluorochemical inerts would have been present in the acid tars and distillation bottoms as wastes or would have been partially degraded in the stabilization processes and discharged to the chemical sewer (3M, 2000 [3MA00001260]).
W astew ater treatm en t p la n t sludge. PFC-containing wastes were discharged into the chemical sewer from Building 15 at Cottage Grove, where most of the PFCs were manufactured. (Dworak, 2012 (pp. 104-107, 123-124)). From 1971 to 1979, the wastewater treatment plant sludge included solids settled from the incinerator wastewater as well (3M, 1979 [3MA00722981]). Certain PFCs, such as FM-3422 (a PFC made from PFOS) were determined to have relatively large octanol/water partition coefficients and would have preferentially absorbed to the organic solids (3M, 1979 [3M_MN00000151]). Perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (POSF), the precursor to PFOS and its salts, would be "adsorbed by waste treatment sludge and eventually land applied with this sludge" (3M, 1983 [3M_MN02571703, -706]). PFCs with strong affinity for the solid materials would have collected in the sludge of the wastewater pond prior to 1962. Even PFCs with relatively low octanol/water partition coefficients would adsorb to the solids in the wastewater treatment plant system to some degree. After completion of the wastewater treatment system, these partitioning PFCs would have collected in the aeration basins of the wastewater treatment system as wastewater treatment plant sludge (3M, 1966 [3MA00456431]; 3M, 1979 [3M_MN00000151, -160]). In the cases of FC-95 and FC-143, 3M had sufficient information regarding the fate and mobility for each PFC to prepare a schematic diagram showing the partitioning of the compound into the different segments of the environment, namely air, water, and the soil, including partitioning into the solid phase as sludge (3M, 1979 [3M_MN00000745, -748-749]; 3M, 1979 [3MA01410327, -331 334]).

In cin erator ash a n d sludge. 3M knew from the early work of Dr. Joseph Simons that PFCs were thermally stable and resistant to degradation at high temperatures. Simons, 1950a. In his review of perfluorinated compounds, H.G. B ryce presented that the fluorine-to-carbon bond is very stable and can only be broken by heating the PFCs to very high temperatures (Bryce, 1964). For example, the compound CF4 was found to be completely stable at temperatures in excess of 1200 C (2192 F) (Bryce, 1964). Dr. B ryce was a former graduate student of Joseph Simons and a 3M employee, therefore 3M knew that PFCs would not be completely decomposed at temperatures below that level.
With these benchmarks in mind, 3M incinerated PFC-containing wastes at kiln temperatures as low as 649 C (1100 F) (Van N oordw yk and Santoro, 1978; Santoro, 2017 (pp. 36-37); Weum, 2017 (p. 111)). 3M thus knew or should have known that PFCs would not have been completely decomposed in the incinerator and products of incomplete combustion would have remained in the incinerator ash and the incinerator wastewater sludge (3M, 1999 [3MA01412204]). Indeed, analysis from E ric Reiner in 2000 indicated that fluorochemicals "are more likely to be incompletely burned than most other organic compounds," and "[degradation of the organofluorine compound could be incomplete if the incinerator doesn't have a high enough temperature (e.g. perhaps > 1700 F [925 C]" (3M, 1996 [3M_MN04747296, -297]). A 1999 3M white paper on the same subject concluded that "[i]n order to ensure complete destruction, incineration experts at 3M suggest residence times in the combustion chamber greater than 1 second and at a temperature 1700 F (926 C) or greater. If combustion chamber temperatures and retention times drop below certain levels, destruction efficiency can drop off rapidly."
3M's own experience with incineration confirmed these conclusions. In March 1984, 3M conducted a trial test burn of the contaminated materials from the Oakdale disposal site. The waste materials consisting of contaminated soils and debris, were fed into the Chemolite incinerator at 3M's Cottage Grove facility to determine if the incinerator was able to effectively burn the residual waste (3M, 1984 [3MA00382051]). In a June 27, 1984 internal correspondence regarding the Oakdale incinerator ash oil and grease extracts, Jim Gagnon stated that one sample of the incinerator ash extracts "had strong absorptions indicative of a fluorochemical. Insufficient material was available for identification of the fluorochemical" (3M, 1984 [3MA00300324]). Analysis of these ash extract samples provided reasonable suspicion for the presence of PFCs in the incinerator ash. Based on this suspicion, 3M should have conducted a more thorough investigation of the incinerator ash, but the 3M documents I have reviewed do not indicate that this was ever done (Weum, 2017 (p. 114)).

2.4 3M's Disposal of PFC-Containing Wastes
The wastes produced by PFC-manufacturing processes were disposed of in numerous locations over the years. I understand from my review of 3M documents that waste was disposed of at Cottage Grove, Oakdale, Woodbury, and the Washington County Landfill, as described below, and I concur with the disposal history relating to each site as set forth in the report of Dr. Andrews.
C ottage Grove. 3M disposed of PFC-containing wastes at its Cottage Grove facility beginning no later than 1951, according to remedial investigation reports by a 3M contractor and other 3M documents:
Various unspecified fluorochemical wastes were burned or landfilled at the site until 1956 (3M, 1981 [3MA00364080]).
Skimmings from the former wastewater treatment pond were disposed of in area D-5 for at least part of the period from 1948 to 1962 (3M, 1986 [3MA00364082, -096 98]).
Wastewater from the PFC-manufacturing process flowed via the chemical sewers into the former 3M wastewater treatment pond from at least 1951 to 1962 and afterwards to the 3M wastewater treatment plant (3M, 1986 [3MA00364082, -099]; 3M, 1958 [3MA00456234, -239]; 3M, 2004 [3MA00722658, -689]).
From 1963 to approximately 1973, acid tars from the electrochemical fluorination process were disposed of in area D-1 (3M, 1986 [3MA00364082, -096]; 3M [3MA01201775]; 3M, 2004 [3MA00722658, -684]; Santoro, 2017 (pp. 31-32)).
Sludges from 3M's wastewater treatment plant were disposed of in areas D-2 and D-9 from at least 1964 to 1973 and in area D-6 from 1978 to 1980 (3M, 1986[3MA00364082, -096-97]; 3M, 2007 [3M_MN01483002, -016]; 3M, 1986 [3MA00294816, -818]).
Incinerator ash was disposed of in area D-6 from 1978 to 1979 (3M. 1978 [3M_MN00052172]; 3M [3MA00276845, -848]).
With the exception of area D-1, which was believed to have been concrete-lined, and area D-6, which was partially bentonite-lined, these disposal areas were not lined or otherwise designed to prevent the infiltration of pollutants into the soil (3M, 1986 [3MA00364082, -096]; 3M [3MA00281033, -035]; 3M, 2004 [3MA00722658, -684]). Even though these two waste disposal areas were supposedly lined, the concrete and bentonite liners were porous materials. The liners had limited conductivity, but the conductivity of liquids through the liners was not zero. Small volumes of water with these dissolved materials would have penetrated the liner materials into the underlying soils.
Elevated levels of PFOS. PFOA, and PFBA were detected at a number of locations at Cottage Grove, including areas D-1, D-2, D-5, D-8, D-9, the area once occupied by the former

wastewater treatment pond, and the East Cove area, where effluent from the former wastewater treatment pond (1955-62) and the current wastewater treatment plant (1962-present) discharged into the Mississippi River (Weston, 2007 [3M_MN01483002] (pp. 4-5 to 4-10, 5-3 to 5-6)).
Oakdale. 3M disposed of acid tars and probably a number of other PFC-containing wastes at the Oakdale disposal site from 1956 to 1960 (3M, 1980 [3MA01248573]). Elevated levels of PFCs were found near the waste disposal trenches and with buried drums at this disposal site. There is no indication that the waste disposal areas were lined or otherwise designed to prevent infiltration of contaminants into the soil and groundwater (3M, 2011 [3M_MN01362671, -685]; Weston, 2007 [3M_MN04969186] (pp. 4-1 to 5-2); Weston, 2008 [3M_MN00116060] (pp. 2-9 to 3-1)).
W oodbury. 3M disposed of acid tars from its Cottage Grove facility at the Woodbury site from 1960 to 1963. From 1960 to 1966, 3M disposed of various industrial wastes at the Woodbury site referred to by 3M as "wet scrap." These wastes contained PFCs. Although some trenches at the Woodbury disposal site were lined beginning in 1962, observers noted that the clay liners did not prevent the seepage of wastes into the soil. Elevated levels of PFOS, PFOA, and PFBA were detected at the Woodbury site (3M, 2010 [3M_MN00826383]; Weston, 2008 [STATE_07240271] (pp. 4-10 to 4-14); Kiester, 2017 (pp. 26-27)).
W ashington C ounty Landfill. 3M disposed of wastes including wastewater treatment plant sludge and incinerator ash from 1971 to 1974, at the Washington County Landfill, which was a former sand and gravel quarry. There is no indication that the disposal locations were lined or otherwise designed to constrain the migration of PFCs into the soil and groundwater. Elevated levels of PFOS, PFOA, and PFBA have been detected at the site (MPCA, 2008 [CHARTIS00009805]).

2.5 Bioaccumulation of PFCs
3M knew and was well aware that PFCs accumulated in humans and animals since the mid-1950s. Early research with PFC derivative compounds demonstrated a strong association between the perfluorocarbon carboxylic acids and proteins. Specifically, PFOA was found to bind and coagulate serum proteins to precipitate these biological compounds from solution (Klevens and Ellenbogen, 1954). Essentially, this means that PFCs would precipitate as solids in the blood and remain in the body, and would likely be collected in the liver.
Further research revealed that longer PFCs would cause greater precipitation of proteins. As described in further research by Klevens, the formation of complexes between PFCs with proteins and polypeptides suggested the interaction between polar groups on the proteins and the PFC compound. As the length of the fluorocarbon chain increased, the greater the activity of the PFC as a protein coagulant (Klevens, 1955). Accordingly, longer-chain PFCs--such as PFOA and PFOS--would be expected to cause greater precipitation of proteins.
Additional work by Nordby and Luck at Stanford University, using PFCs supplied by 3M, demonstrated that human blood proteins and other proteins of the human body were bound to and precipitated by PFCs. These precipitated proteins, which when bound to the PFCs, were filtered from the bloodstream by the kidneys and liver of the individual. Once removed from the bloodstream, the precipitated proteins collected, particularly in the liver, where the PFCs accumulated (Nordby and Luck, 1956). 3M thus knew that PFCs accumulated in living organisms by 1956.
By the early 1970s, clinical trials by Leland Clark and his coworkers at the Children's Hospital Research Foundation found that the straight-chain PFCs were deposited in the liver and remained in the liver for the lifetime of the animal (Clark et al., 1973). As acknowledged in the research publications, the PFCs used in the above cited research were provided to the researchers by 3M. Since the research was published in the open scientific literature, and 3M provided the PFCs, 3M knew or should have known, the results of the research, namely, that PFCs accumulated in living organisms.
3M's own research in the mid- and late-1970s quantified the extent that various PFCs bioaccumulated in various animals, confirming 3M's awareness of this basic fact about PFCs (Purdy, 2017 (rough tr. pp. 35-38)).
In 1978, 3M researchers reported the uptake and accumulation FM-3422, a PFC compound that metabolizes and releases PFOS. The report concluded that FM-3422 bioaccumulated in channel catfish, with bioconcentration factors in excess of 1,000 for the brain and gastrointestinal tract (3M, 1978 [3MA00326803]).
Similarly, a 1979 study, citing research in 1975 and 1977, indicated "that fluorochemicals can bioaccumulate in fish in a laboratory environment." This report determined that fish caught in the Tennessee River near 3M's Decatur, Alabama plant had detectable levels of fluorochemicals. 3M's study concluded that the three fluorochemicals tested bioaccumulated in the gastrointestinal tract, reproductive system, and fat of channel catfish (3M, 1979 [3MA01409559]).

In a 1978 study, rhesus monkeys were fed subacute doses of FC-143 for 90 days. At the higher dosage levels, the monkeys were adversely affected with no survival in the highest test group and only limited survival in the second highest test group. In all test groups, both genders were found to accumulate FC-143 in the liver (3M, 1978 [3M_MN02343997, -4000, -4001]).
Similarly, in a 1978 feeding study with FC-95, rhesus monkeys were fed subacute doses for 90 days. After 90 days, all test animals survived except the subjects in the highest test group. In all test cases, FC-95 was found to accumulate in the liver of the test animals (3M, 1978 [3M_MN02343995, -996]).
Beginning in 1976, 3M conducted blood testing of employees to ascertain the levels of PFCs in their workers' blood (3M, 1977 [3M_MN00000479, -481]; 3M, 1977 [3MA10035028, 029]). Blood serum concentrations in the some of the earliest samples were characterized as high in comparison to a Red Cross plasma sample (3M, 1977 [3M_MN00000296]). Later samples that year identified plant personnel with up to 300 times normal levels of PFCs in blood (3M, 1977 [3M_MN00000479, -481]). By June 1976, a 3M analysis of previously exposed laboratory personnel "indicate[d] that organically based fluorine remains in the blood for an indefinite period." (3M, 1977 [3MA10035028, -29]). Later testing and analysis led to the conclusion that many PFCs accumulated in humans with a half-life for elimination of four years or more (3M, 2002 [3M_MN02334814]).

2.6 Toxicity and Ecotoxicity of PFCs
My independent review of the scientific literature and 3M's internal studies indicated that, by the early 1960s, 3M knew that PFOS, PFOA, and PFBA pose a potential harm to human health and pose a significant threat to the environment.
E arly literature. A review of scientific literature demonstrated that 3M knew by the early 1960s that PFCs were harmful. In the years following World War II, the scientific literature documented that the replacement of hydrogen with fluorine in organic compounds would produce physiological and even toxic responses in tested subjects. As an example, fluoroacetate was lethal to dogs and lower animals even at very low doses (Peters, 1951; Saunders, 1961; Hodge et al., 1963). The toxic responses due to methylfluoroacetate and other fluorine-substituted compounds were the basis for much of the research on new chemical warfare agents at the Army Chemical Center during World War II (Hodge et al., 1963).
By the early 1960s, the toxic effects of a number of fluorinated compounds were published in the scientific literature:
Early research by B.C. Saunders demonstrated that a variety of fluorinated compounds exhibited toxic effects. As stated by Saunders, "certain compounds have greatly altered physiological action when hydrogen is replaced by fluorine." Some of the adverse physiological effects noted from the testing of fluorocarbon compounds include anesthesia, depression, enzyme inhibition, and metabolic effects. Other pharmacological responses reported by Saunders include (1) a blood pressure effect; (2) a membrane transfer of tetraethylammonium derivatives; (3) a depression of adrenal ascorbic acid content; and (4) sympathetic nervous system blockage (Saunders, 1961).
Writing in 1963, J.M. Hamilton concluded that fluorocarbons "ha[ve] been found to run a complete gamut of toxicity, ranging from entirely innocuous to the quickly lethal" (Hamilton, 1963).
Similarly, in a 1963 discussion on the biological effects of organic fluorides, for example, Dr. H.C. Hodge explained, "[t]he toxic effects of the organic fluorine compounds are unlike those of inorganic fluoride; in general, the effects are not consequent on the liberation of the fluoride ion. ... [A] variety of biological effects has been noted in experimental animals following acute administration of organofluorine compounds" (Hodge et al., 1963).
Likewise, Taylor and Kent presented additional results in 1965 demonstrating that the substitution of fluorine in biomolecules can alter the function of those molecules, resulting in various--and in some cases, adverse--physiological effects. They wrote: "Interest has centered mainly around the fact that the hormonal activity of certain steroids, notably corticoids, is often enhanced by the replacement by fluorine of a hydrogen atom. ... It is now clear, however, that a wider range of structural modifications, with retention or enhancement of biological activity, is possible than was previously considered to be the case" (Taylor and Kent, 1965).

From this early scientific literature, it is plainly evident that fluorocarbon compounds hold the potential to produce physiological, and even toxic responses in living organisms.
3 M research . Beginning in 1950, 3M's research confirmed the toxicity of many PFCs:
In 1950, 3M conducted acute toxicity studies of PFBA and concluded that a dose of 804 mg/kg administered orally to rats was lethal to fifty percent of the tested animals by the end of one week. In the same test, LD50 values7 of 435 mg/kg and 755 mg/kg, respectively, were determined for the intraperitoneal and intravenous injections of PFBA in mice after 24 hours (3M, 1950 [3MA02497530]).
In 1954, an acute oral toxicity study of the potassium salt of PFOA on mice found a lethal dose 500 mg/kg. The sodium salt of PFOA was found to have an approximate LD50 value of 400 mg/kg when administered as a single dose to Sprague Dawley rats by feeding tube (3M, 1954 [3MA01828941]).
In 1956, a feeding study of the lithium salt of PFOS was found to have a lethal concentration of 500 mg/kg when administered as a single dose to rats. A separate 1956 study determined the "minimal lethal dosage" of 260 mg/kg for the intravenous injection of PFOA into mice (3M, 1954 [3MA01828941, -942]).
In a 1963 sales brochure for its fluorochemical surfactants, 3M described FC-95 (the potassium salt of PFOS) as "moderately toxic," with an acute toxicity of 450 mg/kg in rats. The brochure characterized other PFC surfactants as "slightly toxic to moderately toxic." (3M, 1963 [3MA01201629]).
In 1966, 3M contracted with Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories, Inc. for the study of the acute oral toxicity in albino rats for two of its PFOS derivative compounds. The two fluorochemicals, L-1931 and L-1932, were found to have acute LD50 values of 2600 mg/kg and 900 mg/kg, respectively, following a single administered dose (3M, 1966 [3MA01789595]; 3M, 1966 [3MA01789592]).
After discovering PFCs in human blood in 1976, 3M launched a more detailed toxicological investigation. By 1978, 3M had conducted numerous studies that confirmed the toxicity of its PFCs, including PFOS and PFOA:
A 90-day subacute toxicity study, conducted on Rhesus monkeys in 1978, determined that feeding FC-95 at a rate of 4.5 mg/kg/day caused all test animals to die within the first few days of the feeding study. In the highest two test groups, FC-95 was found to substantially bioaccumulate in the livers of test animals post-mortem (3M, 1978 [3M_MN02343995]; 3M, 1978 [3MA10032058, -059-60]).
7 The quantity of a compound that is lethal to fifty percent of tested subjects is sometimes listed as the "LD50" for that compound.

A 90-day subacute toxicity study conducted on Rhesus monkeys in 1978, determined that feeding FC-143 (a salt of PFOA) resulted in death of all test subjects at the feeding rate of 100 mg/kg/day and the death of three out of four test subjects at a feeding rate of 30 mg/kg/day (3M, 1978 [3M_MN02343997]).
In a 90-day feeding study with FC-95 on rats, all test subjects died prior to termination of the study at dosage levels of 300 mg/kg/day and above (3M, 1992 [3M_MN02252650]).
In a Range-Finding and Definitive Teratology Study in rabbits, the study results indicated a 56% survival rate for female rabbits fed with 96% lithium perfluorooctanesulfonate, a salt of PFOS, at a rate of 4 mg/kg/day (3M, 1992 [3MA01405447, -448]).
By 1980, at least two tests concluded that certain PFCs were teratogenic, in that these PFCs produced malformations in developing rat fetuses (Butenhoff, 2017 (pp. 142-46)). FM3422, when given to pregnant rats, caused changes to rat fetuses such as "cleft palate, blood in the kidney parenchyma and sternebrae malformations" (3M, 1981 [3MA00326722]). A salt of PFOS caused "[significant increases in external and visceral anomalies [in the high dose group] includ[ing] subcutaneous edema, cleft palate, and cryptorchism, as well as "delays in skeletal system ossification" (3M, 1983 [3M_MN02456142]; 3M, 2000 [3MB00023926]).
Further studies confirmed that PFCs also posed a significant danger to aquatic life and the environment. Indeed, 3M even used the known physiological effects of fluorochemical compounds to develop new products from their PFC derivatives (Guenthner a n d Vietnor, 1962; Bryce, 1964). These new products included microbiocides, compounds that kill microbes, demonstrating obvious toxic effects on living organisms. As observed by Dr. B ryce (1964): "Fluorocarbon compounds have shown some interesting microbiocidal activity. As might be expected, the fluorocarbon portion of the molecule is physiologically inert; but by varying the functional group, some compounds have shown to have unusually high activity as bactericides and algaecides."
In 1970, a technical journal published a letter warning of the toxicity of 3M's Light Water product. The author reported, based on rigorous testing, that the compound's effects were "highly derogatory to marine life and the entire test program had to be abandoned to avoid severe local stream pollution." At concentrations as low as 4 ppm, he added, the survival time of the fish tested was less than seven days. At all concentrations tested, the fish exhibited "erratic motion, loss of stability and other visibly odd effects" (3M, 1970 [3M_MN02267863]).
3M's own testing in the early 1970s confirmed the toxicity of FC-95, a salt of PFOS, to bluegill sunfish (1972), water flea and scud (1973), mummichog, grass shrimp, and fiddler crab (1974), algae (1974), and Atlantic oysters (1974) (3M, 2000 [3M_MN00436402]; 3M, 2000 [3M_MN01656831]; 3M, 2000 [3M_MN00437323]; 3M, 2000 [3M_MN00436466]; 3M, 2000 [3M_MN00437343]). Concerns about the environmental effects of fluorocarbons compelled 3M to initiate the Fate of Fluorochemicals project, which was designed to further understand the environmental impact of perfluorocarbon compounds. Subsequent studies established the toxic

effects of various PFCs on organisms such as the bluegill sunfish by 1979 (3M, 1979 [3M_MN02854547]; 3M, 1979 [3M_MN02854512]; 3M, 1979 [3M_MN02255655, -657]). Additional studies in the late 1970s and early 1980s continued to confirm the impacts of PFCs on the environment (3M, 1979 [3M_MN00000151]; 3M, 1979 [3M_MN00000745]; 3M, 1979 [3MA01410327]). 3M researchers analyzing these findings in 1983 noted that "[i]n the case of fluorochemicals, structure considerations and test results to date give rise to concern for environmental safety. . . . These concerns give rise to legitimate questions about the persistence, accumulation potential, and ecotoxicity of fluorochemicals in the environment" (3M, 1983 [3MA10065465]).

2.7 3M's Unique Awareness of the Environmental and Health Risks of PFCs
Since the acquisition of the patents, 3M developed an extensive, proprietary body of knowledge about PFCs and their properties. It acquired the patents related to the electrochemical fluorination process from Dr. Simons, who subsequently collaborated with 3M employees such as T.J. Brice, H.G. Bryce, and W. H. Pearlson, and conducted additional research with 3M support (Simons et al., 1949).
As demonstrated in the previous subsections of this report, 3M's researchers conducted or commissioned a series of studies on the chemical properties, fate and transport, and toxicological properties of PFCs. Many of these studies were not shared in a timely manner with regulators or other interested parties or used to improve 3M's handling of PFC-containing wastes. 3M's understanding of PFCs eclipsed that of regulators and outside researchers. For example:
Properties. The early work of Simons, Brice, and Bryce, among others, demonstrates 3M's early mastery of the properties of PFCs. Their publication of chapters in the multivolume Fluorine Chemistry and articles in Scientific American illustrate that they were at the forefront of this emerging area of research (Simons, 1949; Simons et al., 1949; Brice, 1950; Pearlson, 1950; Simons and Brice, 1954; Bryce, 1964).
M an u factu rin g P rocess a n d Wastes. 3M used Simons' electrochemical fluorination process to manufacture PFCs after acquiring the patent from Simons. 3M's Cottage Grove facility, which began the commercial manufacture of PFCs in 1951, was the first of its kind (Simons and Brice, 1954). In addition, 3M employed numerous chemists and engineers who specialized in the development and production of PFCs. As a result, 3M had unique knowledge of the process and the wastes it produced, and regulators were dependent to a significant degree on 3M to disclose important facts about the manufacturing process and wastes.
B ioaccum ulation. 3M's understanding of the properties of PFCs, together with their in-house research capabilities, gave 3M extensive insight into the question of whether and how PFCs bioaccumulated in living organisms. In addition, at least one of the researchers obtained the PFCs directly from 3M (Nordby and Luck, 1956).
R isks to H u m an H ealth a n d th e E nvironm ent. Here as well, 3M's extensive resources and in-house research capabilities meant that 3M was better situated than regulators or outside researchers to understand the potentially harmful properties of PFCs. By the 1960s, 3M had accumulated lethal dose data on a variety of PFCs that were likely unknown to regulators and others. Following the environmental testing of its PFCs, 3M had a better grasp of the fate and mobility of PFCs than USEPA or Minnesota regulators (3M, 1979 [3M_MN00000151, -159-160]; 3M, 1979 [3M_MN00000745, -752 -753]; 3M, 1979 [3MA01410327, -333 -336]).
A n a lytica l Capabilities. By the 1970s, 3M had the instrumentation and technical knowledge to rival any public universities and private laboratories. The Central Research Analytical division at 3M, and later the Environmental Laboratory division,

was constantly developing new and better techniques to quantify their products, including PFCs. For example, in 1976, Central Research Analytical isolated and characterized PFOA from the blood of a Chemolite supervisor (3M, 1977 [3MA10035028, -029]). By November 1977, 3M had the capabilities to determine both total fluorine and inorganic fluorine in whole blood, plasma, serum, and liver samples down to concentrations of 0.01 parts per million (3M, 1977 [3MA00016495, -496]). As indicated in the 1978 report on organic fluorine in blood, 3M stated that its laboratory was one of "only three or four other laboratories in the world are currently able to measure organic fluorine in blood plasma or serum" (3M, 1978 [3MA10067017, -019]). By 1979, 3M could quantify PFOS and PFOA at parts-perbillion levels (3M, 1979 [3MA00639014]). Similarly, its testing of wastewater from its Decatur facility in 1980 demonstrates that 3M had an early ability to detect and quantify certain PFCs, such as PFOA, in water at parts-per-billion levels (3M, 1980 [3MA01406743, -744]).
G eology a n d H ydrology. By the 1960s, 3M had a full geology department, which was quite unusual for a manufacturing company that produced consumable goods such as tape and sandpaper. Members of 3M's geology department had a thorough knowledge of the movement of liquids through porous media, namely soils. From its geology department, 3M understood the infiltration and movement of water into the underlying soils as well as the movement of soluble components in their wastes disposed above these soils (3M, 1960 [3M_MN00000135, -137]). Further, the geology department members had the forethought to install test borings to ascertain the subsurface conditions and to recommend observation wells for reference prior to the disposal of wastes at the Woodbury site (3M, 1960 [3M_MN00001421, -422]; 3M, 1960 [3M_MN00000231, -232]). 3M also had, by the 1960s, a sanitary engineering department with extensive knowledge of the subject (Kiester, 2017 (pp. 96-98)).
Knowing that components of their waste would leach with the infiltrating water, 3M completed three soil borings, in 1962, to study the degree of penetration of its waste chemicals in the underlying soils and groundwater at the Woodbury site. Samples from the borings were analyzed for volatile organic compounds, including ethanol, heptane, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, which had reached the level of the groundwater in one of the three borings (3M, 1962 [3M_MN00000220]). To my knowledge, this assessment of organic compounds in the groundwater below a disposal site was one of the first of its kind. It wasn't until years later that scientific publications reported the presence of organic contaminants from landfills had contaminated the groundwater (Brown and Donnelly, 1988).
More broadly, 3M had extensive experience in industrial waste disposal and its potential environmental effects. In 1970, President Nixon appointed Bert Cross, then Chief Executive Officer of 3M, as the chairman of the National Industrial Pollution Control Council. The Council was an advisory body comprised of "industrial leaders" established to provide a mechanism for "business and industry to actively and visibly support the drive to abate pollution from industrial sources." The appointment of 3M's chief executive to this important post recognized 3M's advanced knowledge of how improper waste disposal practices could cause

lasting harm to the environment (Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents, 1970 (p. 502)). However, as discussed in Section 3.2 and elsewhere in this report, 3M failed to use this knowledge to avoid ongoing harmful waste disposal practices.

3. OPINIONS AND BASIS FOR OPINIONS
3.1 3M's Disposal of PFC-Containing Waste Contaminated the Groundwater
By the early 1950s, 3M knew or should have known that pollutants from landfilled industrial wastes would reach the groundwater beneath its disposal sites and would pose a potential threat of harm to human health and the environment and harm the State's natural resources. By the early 1960s, 3M knew that groundwater beneath at least two of its disposal sites was contaminated with industrial organic chemicals that were components of its waste.
A number of technical investigations and public health crises in the early- to mid twentieth century made clear that the disposal of wastes by landfilling could lead to the contamination of groundwater. 3M documents show that it was keenly aware of the potential for groundwater pollution, and 3M studies of potential disposal sites reflect an awareness that certain choices could slow the rate of contamination. By the early 1960s, 3M engineers had conclusively demonstrated that landfilled wastes from 3M disposal sites had polluted the groundwater in the East Metro area.
Information Generally Available from Technical Literature and Media Reporting
Long before 3M began producing PFCs and their derivative compounds, Dr. L.A. Richards proved the theory of liquid flow through unsaturated porous media (Richards, 1931). Plainly speaking, liquids will flow downward through the soil under the force of gravity and hydraulic potential. Further, in a presentation before the New York State Sewage Works Association in 1932, A.F. Dappert demonstrated that "chemical pollution can be carried for a long distance through fine sand even when the rate of groundwater flow is fairly slow" (Dappert, 1932).
In applying the work of Richards and others from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the California State Water Pollution Control Board (SWPCB) commissioned a series of field investigation studies to determine the effects of different forms of waste disposal on groundwater quality.
In 1952, one such study demonstrated that the infiltration and percolation of precipitation through an incinerator ash dump will leach soluble components from the dump. The soluble components will move with the infiltrating water downward under the force of gravity to the groundwater (SWPCB, 1952).
A related study demonstrated the following year that wastewater containing soluble chemical compounds, when placed on the soil surface, can infiltrate the surface soil and transport the dissolved chemical compounds to subsurface soils and the groundwater (SWPCB, 1953).
A 1961 SWPCB study showed that water applied to the surface of a refuse disposal site may infiltrate the fill and cause the leaching and transport of soluble components in the fill downward to reach the groundwater (SWPCB, 1961).

Thus, by the 1950s, widely available scientific and technical literature contained much information related to the movement of soluble compounds from disposed waste through the surrounding soil and into the groundwater. Therefore, 3M--as a sophisticated company with significant scientific resources--knew or should have known that compounds from its landfilled wastes could contaminate the groundwater.
In addition, 3M should have been aware by the 1950s of public health crises arising from the contamination of groundwater. For example, 3M should have been aware of a number of cases of methemoglobinemia attributed to the presence of nitrates in the groundwater. Methemoglobinemia, a very serious condition in young children often referred to as "blue baby syndrome," results from the ingestion of water containing high concentrations of nitrate. The occurrence of many observed cases of methemoglobinemia during the period from 1947 to 1949 led to national media coverage of the disease, including further investigations conducted by the Minnesota Department of Health in 1951 (Minneapolis Star, 1948; Schmidt, 1956).
The 1951 Minnesota Department of Health study, and at least one more conducted in the decade that followed, indicated the high concentrations of nitrate in the groundwater resulted from the transport of soluble nitrates from agricultural chemicals applied to the surface soils and the disposal of industrial wastes containing nitrogen (Schmidt, 1956; Woodward et al., 1961). The 1951 study showed that domestic water supplies in Renville, Nobles, Rock, and Mower Counties--three counties in southwestern and south central Minnesota in close proximity to 3M's Minnesota facilities--were impacted by nitrates in the shallow groundwater (Schmidt, 1956). Sampling of shallow groundwater wells demonstrated high concentrations of nitrate due to the infiltration and downward migration of the stable nitrate ion into the groundwater (Schmidt, 1956). Further, a 1959 survey of the water wells in the Village of Coon Rapids indicated that nitrates from sewage treatment had impacted groundwater to the extent that concentrations of nitrates in the groundwater posed a threat to infant health (Woodward et al., 1961).
The fact that these groundwater contamination incidents involved nitrate compounds is particularly significant because nitrate compounds are analogous to PFCs in certain respects relevant to groundwater contamination. Nitrate compounds are highly soluble due in part to the high stability of the nitrate ion in aqueous solution. The nitrate species is analogous to PFOA and PFOS in that each of these compounds exists as highly stable and highly soluble anions in aqueous solution. When dissolved in water, PFCs including the PFC acids and acid derivatives (including PFOS, PFOA, and PFBA), dissociate to form soluble anions. With negative charges, the soluble anions are repelled by the soil particles and flow freely with the water, through both the saturated and unsaturated zone. Therefore, 3M would have been able to logically conclude that the environmental behavior of the PFCs would have been similar to that of nitrates and that PFCs would be leached from the wastes, entering into the soils and groundwater.
3M's Research and Deliberations
3M's internal documents from the early 1960s leave no doubt that it was aware of the potential for and actual contamination of groundwater as a result of its waste disposal practices. A review of these documents demonstrates that 3M understood the potential for that

contamination to endanger human health and the environment as well as harm the State's natural resources.
In the early 1960s, for example, 3M's deliberations about the location of a new disposal site reflected an acute awareness of the potential for contaminants to reach the groundwater. In a July 13, 1960 memo from John A. Brow n of the Geology Department to H ans W essel of the Engineering Department at 3M, discussing the location of the new waste disposal site at Woodbury, Brown stated:
From a geological standpoint this area would not be ideal in our opinion; however, from the other merits of this location we feel it should satisfy our demands. If there is a large volume of acid waste dumped, it would be better if the area were immediately underlain by a thick formation of limestone or dolomite. This would help neutralize the acid before getting into the groundwater. . . Other wet wastes, not neutralized nor deposited within rock or soil pore spaces, will eventually reach the water table and pollute domestic wells (3M, 1960 [3M_MN00000135]).
3M's deliberations thus reflected awareness that--absent special geological conditions-- the wastes it landfilled would reach the groundwater. Unfortunately, 3M was not committed to avoiding groundwater contamination caused by its wastes. Instead, as the following quotation from B row n's memo indicates, 3M focused on the factors that would determine how quickly pollution would accumulate:
Eventual pollution of adjacent domestic wells will depend on time, geological conditions and rate of wet waste dumping. When waste seepage reaches the water table certain solids by that time may be rendered harmless while others will remain to pollute wells. . . . The other factor, rate of dumping, will hasten or prolong pollution. Degree of pollution will in turn indicate the time when dumping should cease. It may be that other factors will signify a time to abandon the site prior to maximum pollution (3M, 1960 [3M_MN00000135]).
Further memos by Brown during this period make clear that although 3M hoped to avoid rapid aquifer pollution, it clearly understood that "eventual pollution" was inevitable and the extent of it would "depend on time, rate, and the care that is exercised in dumping" (3M, 1960 [3M_MN00001421]). This report, as well as relevant deposition testimony from a 3M employee, clearly indicated that 3M knew that the underlying aquifer would, sooner or later, become polluted by dumping the wastes in open trenches (Kiester, 2017 (pp. 24-25)).
Additional 3M documents show that 3M understood that its various disposals of wastes at other sites could contaminate the groundwater. A 1969 3M document, for example, related to the disposal of wastewater treatment plant sludge at Cottage Grove noted that one of the "limitations" associated with landfilling the sludge was that "organic contaminants from the sludge may leach into the ground water at the present dumping site" (3M, 1969 [3MA00456474, -475]). Similarly, in 1970, a 3M "Authority for Expenditure" document sought permission to purchase sludge dewatering equipment in part because "[t]he present method of dumping wet sludge into landfill areas on the site cannot be continued because . . . of the potential pollution

from organic contaminants leaching into the underground water supply . . . ." (3M, 1970 [3MA00456507]).
Just as important, 3M had the understanding and resources to confirm whether its wastes were reaching the groundwater beneath Woodbury and the other sites. In July 1960, Brown and R.C. Collins--recounting a meeting including at least four other 3M employees--stated that the attendees were "again warned of the problem of polluting the underground water and it was recommended that before this site is developed, observations wells into the St. Peter and Jordan formations should be drilled and tested . . . periodically" (3M, 1960 [3M_MN00000231]). A 1962 memo likewise considered the possibility of installing a shallow boring down-slope of the first trench to "see if we are getting any subsurface pollution" (3M, 1961 [3M_MN00000138]). 3M clearly understood that borings or monitoring wells could be used to sample groundwater to analyze it for the presence of contaminants from industrial waste.
3M's Discovery of Contaminants in Groundwater Beneath Its Disposal Sites
Analytical testing performed by 3M in 1960 and 1962 confirmed that contaminants from its industrial wastes had reached the groundwater beneath two of 3M's Minnesota disposal sites.
At Cottage Grove, where 3M waste disposal began shortly after 3M built the facility there in 1947, 3M's "monthly well water sampling program" was expanded in November 1960 to include "pollution indicators such as phenol, fluorides, chlorides, surfactants, etc." A "main purpose" of the newly expanded "Monthly Water Report" was to "gain the necessary information about the spreading of contamination from local pollution sources to different wells so that sufficient warning can be obtained and adequate measures can be provided in time to assure a continuous supply of good quality process water." Laboratory services for the effort were furnished by "[t]he analytical section of [3M's] Central Research" department. Copies of the November 1960 report were apparently provided to at least 39 other 3M employees (3M, 1960, [3M_MN00052163]).
The results of the monthly analysis in November 1960 suggest that its waste disposal practices at Cottage Grove resulted in groundwater contamination at the site, and the author-- Dr. Joseph Ling--explicitly acknowledges the possibility in his memo. "It has been suspected that Well No. 1 has become contaminated because of the continuous increase of alkalinity and hardness in the well water. It is also suspected that the contamination is coming from the waste disposal pond." Although the memorandum concludes that "no conclusive statement can be made" at that point regarding the exact cause of the contamination, it does cite a finding of 0.3 ppm of "surfactant as ABS" in Well No. 1 as "positively confirming] that Well No. 1 was definitely polluted" (3M, 1960, [3M_MN00052163, -164]).
Other documents from this period definitively confirm that 3M understood the connection between its waste disposal practices at Cottage Grove and groundwater contamination:
An August 1960 memorandum by Allan E. M iller an dR .C . C ollins of the 3M Geology Department described efforts to "determine the source of the pollution of the #1 Jordan well." It noted that "we all felt [the well] is within the sphere of activity of

our Chemolite plant." The same memo stated that a visit to a site adjacent to "the previous two settling ponds along the Bulrington [sic] railroad tracks" revealed "a spring with an organic smell and appearance oozing from the gravel strata" there (3M, 1960 [3MA00335929]).
A December 1961 memorandum by a 3M employee acknowledged that the wastewater pond contributed to groundwater contamination at the Cottage Grove site. H. S. Parkinson, citing a report by Dr. L ing dated July 31, 1961, indicated that "the pond does not remove any BOD and its leakage is a contributing factor to the contamination of the Chemolite well water" (3M, 1961 [3MA00456329]).
A 3M document entitled "Phase One: Chemolite Waste Disposal Program" from no later than 1963 noted that "[e]vidence . . . indicated that the present waste pond has contaminated a nearby water supply well at our Chemolite plan site. We are convinced that contamination will gradually spread to other wells if no corrective measure is taken soon" (3M, 1962 [3MA00456330, -331]).8
Similarly, at Woodbury, 3M detected contamination in the groundwater beneath its disposal site no later than 1962. In spite of the warnings from the Geology Department, waste disposal began in 1960 with the disposal of wet scrap waste from 3M in earthen trenches at the site. In the spring of 1962, 3M conducted an investigation to determine the degree of penetration of contaminants from the disposed waste into the underlying soil. The investigation found that acetone had reached 75 feet below the surface--the level at which groundwater was located. Ethanol, heptane, acetone, ethyl acetate, and methyl ethyl ketone had reached 64 feet below ground surface. Dr. Ling, the author of the investigation report concluded that "some of our liquid waste chemicals have reached 75' below ground within about one year of operation." He concluded that "[i]t is our opinion the waste disposal problem has reached the point where some immediate action should be taken" (3M, 1962 [3M_MN00000220, -221]).
Other documents from the period of 3M disposals at Woodbury from 1960 to 1966 clearly indicate 3M's awareness that contaminants from its waste were polluting the groundwater.
A May 1962 memorandum by R.C. Collins stated in connection with an engineering study of the Woodbury dump site that "[i]t is the consensus of the Geology Department in regard to safeguarding the underground water supply of the area, that the company seriously consider the installation of an incinerator or other means, whereby this wet waste material will not have an opportunity to seep into the soil" (3M, 1962 [3M_MN00000380, -381]).
A July 1963 memorandum by K.R. K noblock regarding waste disposal at Woodbury described visual evidence that clay liners used by 3M in some trenches as a seal to retard seepage did not prevent the infiltration of liquids into the soil. "It appears to
8 Certain elements of the document's text suggest that it was written no later than 1963. For example, the author notes that certain wastewater treatment experiments "will be continued until 1963" (3M, 1962 [3MA00456330, -331]).

the writer that this seal is ineffective," he wrote. "[A] truck driver pointed out the fact that as soon as the waste was dumped it seeped into the ground" (3M, 1963 [3M_MN00000379]; Kiester, 2017 (pp. 55-56).
A separate July 1963 memorandum by M .C. Goldsm ith and K.R. K noblock described the conclusion of a meeting of 3M employees during a visit to the Woodbury site as follows: "Those present concluded that steps must be taken to protect 3M interests and township residents by reducing the danger of ground water pollution by more efficient means of waste disposal" (3M, 1963 [3M_MN00000717]).
In all of these documents, there was no indication that 3M believed the groundwater would not become contaminated. To the contrary, these documents clearly acknowledge that the groundwater would be contaminated. The variety of authors and recipients of these internal correspondences show that this fact was widely understood within 3M.
Finally, given 3M's awareness of its own PFC manufacturing and disposal practices of large quantities of PFC-containing wastes, 3M's sampling data from the 1960s should have alerted 3M that PFCs from its PFC-containing wastes were reaching the groundwater. Even if 3M lacked the analytical ability to quantify the presence of specific PFCs, its employees observed two indicators of possible PFC contamination of the groundwater--detections of surfactants and observations of foaming:
Surfactants were detected in the water beneath Cottage Grove and Woodbury in the 1960s. The November 1960 monthly water report for Cottage Grove, described above, noted detections of "[s]urfactants as ABS" in "Well No. 1," "Spring," and "Pond" at levels of 0.3, 1.3, and 1.2 ppm, respectively (3M, 1960 [3M_MN00052163, -168]). Similarly, an April 1969 3M report on the Woodbury water problem found surfactants at the level of 0.07 ppm (3M, 1969 [3MA00335191, -199]).
At Woodbury, a 1967 investigation of the groundwater revealed the water had a "sweet, antiseptic" odor and "created a noticeable foam." The foaming of groundwater is an important indication that surfactants, such as 3M's fluorochemical surfactants, were potentially present. The same report concluded that "[t]he investigative work undertaken in the past eight months indicates that chemicals similar to those placed in the pits [at Woodbury] have been identified approximately 3/4 of a mile in a westerly direction from the waste pits," at a private well (3M, 1967 [3MA00286007]).
The presence of surfactants and foaming in the groundwater--together with 3M's knowledge that its wastes contained fluorochemical surfactants--should have alerted 3M to the strong possibility that its PFCs had reached the groundwater. While in isolation these facts would not put one on notice of PFC contamination, 3M was obviously aware that it was manufacturing large quantities of PFCs and disposing of them along with other waste in and around these sites. 3M also knew that PFCs have surfactant qualities and create foam when exposed to water. Given this knowledge, 3M knew or should have known that its PFCcontaining wastes were reaching the groundwater.

3.2 3M's Failure to Exercise Reasonable Care When Disposing of Its PFCContaining Wastes
3M failed to exercise reasonable care in connection with its disposal of PFCs and PFC-containing wastes because it disposed of them without regard for the risk of harm to human health and the environment. Further, 3M failed to exercise reasonable care by failing to prevent the continued release of PFCs into the groundwater and the Mississippi River after they were disposed of at 3M's Minnesota sites.
Counsel has informed me that in Minnesota, companies must exercise reasonable care to adequately prevent or mitigate the harm to others foreseeable from their conduct. Counsel has also informed me that the degree of care required to satisfy that standard depends in part on all of the facts and circumstances, and must be commensurate with all known or reasonably foreseeable dangers.
In my professional opinion, 3M failed to meet the standard of care needed to protect human health and the environment. As the documents discussed in this report indicate, 3M knew or should have foreseen the dangers of its PFC-disposal practices. A producer of such wastes, exercising a reasonable degree of care, would not have disposed of them in the manner that 3M disposed of them. Up to 1974 (and even later, at the Cottage Grove site), 3M disposed of PFCcontaining wastes at Minnesota disposal sites despite having sufficient information that PFCs could reach the groundwater, accumulate in the environment, and cause significant harm. After 1974, at which point many of 3M's disposals at the Minnesota sites had ended, 3M did nothing to prevent the continued releases of PFCs into the groundwater from its disposal sites. 3M did not provide full and candid disclosures to regulators of the presence of PFCs in the 3M wastes, nor did 3M disclose the risks posed by its disposal of PFCs.
3M's Disposal of Industrial Waste at the Four Disposal Sites (1947-1974, 1978-1980)
3M repeatedly failed to address the readily foreseeable harms resulting from the disposal of its industrial wastes, including PFC-containing wastes, at Cottage Grove, Oakdale, Woodbury, and the Washington County Landfill from 1947 to about 1974 and at Cottage Grove from 1978 to 1980.
C o n tin u ed D isp o sa l D esp ite O bservation s o f C ontam ination. 3M knew the characteristics of the PFCs that they were manufacturing, including the reactivity, thermal stability, solubility, and resistance to biodegradation while disposals at the Minnesota disposal sites were taking place. From the beginning of production, 3M knew that the wastes generated from the production operations contained PFCs. By the mid-1950s, 3M knew or should have known that PFCs had the potential to bioaccumulate in living organisms. By the early 1970s, 3M knew that PFCs bioaccumulated in living organisms. By the 1960s, 3M knew that the organic components of their wastes had infiltrated into the groundwater. In 1976, PFCs were found in human blood samples and by the late 1970s, PFCs were found to accumulate in Humans. In 1983, 3M conducted a study that demonstrated the teratogenic mutations in mice by PFCs. Following 3M's early knowledge of these characteristics and impacts of PFCs, subsequent studies confirmed the early findings.

Despite this knowledge, 3M continued the disposal of wastes notwithstanding evidence that 3M knew the PFCs in the wastes would leach into and migrate with the groundwater. Further, 3M knew that the PFCs leaching from their wastes would cause harm to human health and the environment. Despite this knowledge, 3M landfilled PFC-containing wastes in Minnesota through 1974 and again from 1978 to 1980. During this period, 3M did not attempt actions to prevent the release and movement of PFCs in the groundwater. In addition, 3M did not adequately notify the regulatory authorities of the presence of PFCs in their wastes.
An example of 3M's failure to exercise reasonable care during this period comes from its conduct at the Woodbury site, where it continued to dispose of its wastes even though it knew or should have known that PFCs could reach the groundwater. Despite the warnings from the Geology Department that wet scrap wastes and waste solvents would reach the groundwater, 3M began waste disposal at the Woodbury disposal site during the winter of 1960. Wet scrap waste and waste solvents along with acid-containing HF tars from 3M were disposed in open trenches at the site. In the spring of 1962, 3M conducted an investigation to determine the degree of penetration of the disposed waste leachate into the underlying soil and concluded that "some of our liquid waste chemicals have reached 75' below ground within about one year of operation" (3M, 1962 [3M_MN00000220]).
As described above, investigations at the Woodbury disposal site in the late 1960s provided more evidence that PFCs had likely migrated to the groundwater beneath the site. A 1967 3M report concluded that "[t]he investigative work undertaken in the past eight months indicates that chemicals similar to those placed in the pits [at Woodbury] have been identified approximately 3/4 of a mile in a westerly direction from the waste pits," at a private well. That investigation of the groundwater revealed "isopropyl ether or a compound similar to it" and observed that the water had a "sweet, antiseptic" odor and "created a noticeable foam" (3M, 1967 [3MA00286007]). The foaming of groundwater is an important indication that surfactants, such as 3M's fluorochemical surfactants, may be present. Despite this evidence, 3M continued to dispose of PFC-containing wastes at the Cottage Grove facility and other waste disposal sites. Further, 3M made no attempt to investigate the PFC contamination in the groundwater, much less remediate the groundwater once it knew the groundwater was likely contaminated with PFCs.
Confronted with strong evidence suggesting that toxic contaminants from its industrial wastes had reached the groundwater, 3M should have--at a minimum--halted further disposals until such time as it could confirm that there was no significant risk to human health or the environment. Its failure to do so disregarded known risks to human health and the environment. 3M continued to landfill its PFC-containing wastes in Minnesota disposal facilities incapable of handling such dangerous wastes until at least 1974, and again from 1978 to 1980. See Section 2.4, above.
Throughout this period, 3M continued to receive reports from researchers and other interested parties suggesting that its PFCs were capable of causing toxic effects. For example, a researcher wrote the editor of the Fire Journal in 1970 to describe the results of toxicity testing of 3M "Light Water" Film Forming Foam, which contained PFC surfactants. In his letter, the researcher described the testing of hardy fish with aqueous concentrations of "Light Water" ranging from 2.0% (1,250 ppm) to 0.002% (1 ppm) in ten-gallon tanks and reported that the 3M

product was "highly derogatory to marine life." At concentrations greater than 0.006% (4 ppm), the survival time of the fish was observed to be seven days or less. The researcher concluded that "at all [tested] concentrations (including . . . 1 part per million) erratic motion, loss of stability and other visibly odd effects were present" (3M, 1970 [3M_MN02267863, -864]).
L a ck o f can dor w ith regulators. During the period from 1947 to 1974, 3M displayed a lack of candor with state regulators and failed to cooperate in good faith with those regulators in matters relating to its waste disposal methods and related risks to human health and the environment. A producer of industrial wastes exercising reasonable care would not have hidden information from regulators, because regulators need sufficient information about waste disposal practices in their jurisdiction to assess environmental risks and prioritize resources for investigation and enforcement.
3M developed extensive knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of PFCs that would control the fate and mobility of PFCs in the environment. In addition, 3M developed information regarding the bioaccumulation and toxicity of these compounds during this period, but did not adequately disclose this information to any Minnesota regulator. As a result, regulators were not properly equipped to assess the potential harm to human health and the environment posed by 3M's waste disposal practices. 3M's failure to keep regulators effectively informed about the potential for harmful effects of its wastes amounted to a failure to exercise due care.
3M disposed of fluorochemical wastes at the Oakdale site from 1956 to 1960, but as discussed more fully below, 3M did not disclose its disposal practices to regulators during this period, even after 3M's investigations at its other disposal sites revealed extensive groundwater contamination.
3M's Failure to Address Continued PFC Releases (After 1974)
F ailure to R em ediatefo r PF C s in Face o f M ounting Evidence o f Contamination.
Even after 3M shifted many of its disposals away from the four Minnesota sites, 3M's failure to address past and continuing releases of PFCs from the disposal sites unreasonably disregarded known dangers to human health and the environment. During this period, as Section 2.6 demonstrates, 3M's knowledge of the harmful effects of PFCs continued to develop:
A "Fate of Fluorochemicals" research project undertaken by 3M from 1976 to 1979 studied the effects of four important 3M fluorochemicals on aquatic life and their susceptibility (if any) to degradation by microorganisms, among other things. 3M researchers reviewing these results in 1983 and recommending additional testing concluded that "[i]n the case of fluorochemicals, structure considerations and test results to date give rise to concern for environmental safety. . . . These concerns give rise to legitimate questions about the persistence, accumulation potential, and ecotoxicity of fluorochemicals in the environment" (3M, 1983 [3MA10065465, -471, -476]).
3M had the capabilities to analyze groundwater sampled for PFCs in the late 1970s and early 1980s, yet they failed to analyze samples suspected of containing PFCs at

any of their disposal sites during this period (3M, 1979 [3MA00639014]; 3M, 1980 [3MA01406743, -744]).
Further testing in 1978 on mammals such as monkeys and rats confirmed the toxicity of PFOS and PFOA (3M, 1978 [3M_MN02343995]; 3M, 1992 [3M_MN02252650]; 3M, 1978 [3M_MN02343997]).
Despite this and other evidence concerning the fate of PFCs in the environment and the risks that they posed, I have seen no evidence that 3M took any meaningful steps to reduce the risk posed by releases of PFCs from its landfilled wastes into the groundwater before the 2000s.
In my opinion, 3M's inaction, while PFCs it had landfilled continued to contaminate the environment, was not an adequate response to the known risks to human health and the environment. By allowing leachate to continue to contaminate groundwater, 3M failed to exercise reasonable care.
In com plete a n d M isleadin g D isclosu res to R egulators. On many occasions, 3M scientists and other employees provided misleading or incomplete information to regulators and independent researchers. By failing to provide information about PFCs or disposal practices, 3M frustrated outsiders' ability to determine the nature of the harms resulting from PFCs and address their causes. For example:
3M made a number of incomplete disclosures to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regarding its disposal practices at the Oakdale site. 3M disposed of its wastes at Oakdale from 1956 to 1960. State regulators learned about 3M's disposal of wastes there from area residents--not from 3M--some 18 years later, in 1978 (3M, 1980 [3M_MN00001391]; 3M, 1984 [3MA00296731, -732]). The MPCA requested additional information from 3M, but was told only that "the history of the site is vague" and that 3M believed that "the materials disposed of at this site were discarded product, such as rolls of tape, `Scotchbrite', and some waste materials such as hardened resins and miscellaneous scrap" (3M, 1979 [3MA00284889]). A follow up letter sent by the agency requested a response "more specific than the letter [previously] sent to the Agency" (3M, 1980 [3M_MN00000351]). Ultimately, the MPCA's investigation determined--with little help from 3M--that a number of 55gallon drums with chemical waste were buried on site and that there were not just one, but two, disposal sites at the Oakdale site (3M, 1980 [3M_MN00001391, -393 94]). This delay in providing relevant information to the MPCA impaired regulators' ability to assess and respond to potential environmental harm resulting from 3M's waste disposal practices.
3M likewise failed to adequately disclose the nature and extent of its waste disposal activities at the Cottage Grove site. In 1981, the MPCA requested information about 3M's hazardous waste disposal practices at the Cottage Grove site with respect to a variety of materials, including "fluorocarbons" (3M, 1981 [3M_MN00000218]). 3M's response provided information about other wastes but omitted any information about fluorocarbons (3M, 1981 [3M_MN00000143]). Similarly, the remedial investigation reports submitted by 3M's contractor did not adequately disclose the

nature of the wastes landfilled at Cottage Grove. The 1986 final report provided a list of twenty chemicals "historically used at the Chemolite Plant" and noted that "[i]t could be expected . . . that wastes disposed of at the Chemolite Center are either combinations of these chemicals or the products of reacting two or more of these chemicals." But none of those chemicals were PFCs or even contained fluorine (3M, 1986 [3MA00364082, -101-02]).
Throughout this period, 3M failed to adequately disclose the results of its internal research on PFCs to federal regulators, contrary to section 8(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and other provisions of federal law. Enacted in 1976, TSCA required manufacturers to provide all information that "reasonably supports the conclusion" that a chemical "presents a substantial risk of injury to health or the environment." In many important respects, however, 3M failed to meet this obligation. In April 1978, for example, 3M conducted tests on monkeys and rats lasting up to 90 days to determine the effects of exposure to FC-95, FC-143, FM3422 (PFOS, PFOA, and N-EtFOSE, which metabolizes to PFOS, respectively). In light of the studies' "indisputable" findings of "liver toxicity in the rat" and "GI toxicity in the monkey," 3M researchers concluded that "[t]hese compounds are by no means biologically inert." (3M, 1979 [3MA00967577]). Despite these findings, 3M decided in May 1978 not to immediately report these results to the EPA under TSCA section 8(e) (3M, 1978 [3MA10066961]).
Indeed, in an August 21, 2000 letter from 3M's Katherine Reed to Jesse Baskerville of USEPA, Dr. Reed disclosed that 3M had identified approximately 30 studies or pieces of information as a supplement to the TSCA section 8(e) dockets for PFOS and related fluorochemicals (3M, 2000 [3MA00847625, -626]; Reed, 2017 (pp. 88-109)). 3M ultimately paid a fine of over $1.5 million to resolve USEPA's allegations that 3M failed to notify USEPA of new chemicals it was manufacturing, failed to timely report substantial risk information, and other reporting violations. The USEPA noted that "several of the violations concerned reporting on perfluorinated compounds," and that the previously unreported information was "valuable" and would "help the scientific community to better understand the presence of toxic substances in the environment" (USEPA, 2006).
In com plete a n d M isleadin g D isclosu res to O ther Stakeholders. In addition, 3M failed to adequately disclose important information about its PFCs to other stakeholders such as outside researchers, 3M workers, and customers.
In 1975, 3M employee G. H. Crawford reported that he had received a second telephone call from Dr. William Guy with the College of Medicine at the University of Florida concerning his findings of fluorocarbon carboxylic acids (that is, PFOA) in human blood samples. Dr. Guy was trying to understand how PFCs appeared in human blood and wanted to know whether "3M's fluorocarbon carboxylic acids . . . were present in `Scotchgard' or other items in general use by the public." Despite 3M's broad use of PFOA and related chemistries, Crawford said "we plead ignorance but advised him that `Scotchgard' was a polymeric material not a FC acid" (3M, 1975 [3MA10034962, -962-63]). Therefore, Crawford misled the researcher to prevent the

discovery that 3M's fluorochemicals could be a source of PFCs in human blood. 3M's failure to disclose to researchers that fluorocarbon acids manufactured by 3M were indeed in wide use prevented researchers from developing an understanding of the presence of those compounds in blood samples.
3M demonstrated a lack of candor to its own employees as well. As a result of others finding PFCs in human blood, 3M developed an accurate analytical method to determine the concentration of organic fluorine in blood samples in early 1976 and began testing of blood samples for employees at the Chemolite plant shortly thereafter. In the annual report to the Corporate Responsibility Committee in November 1976, 3M's Central Research Analytical Department reported the concentrations of organic fluorine compounds in Cottage Grove personnel at up to 1,000 times the concentrations found in the general population (3M, 1977 [3M_MN00000479]). Yet in the minutes from a 1978 3M Fluorochemicals Technical Review Committee meeting, the committee recommended that chemical workers should not be informed until after other pertinent information including "a detailed plan for all other work related to trace fluorochemicals in blood" is completed (3M, 1978 [3MA10067042]). It was not until May 1980, however, that 3M finalized plans for informing employees, customers, regulatory bodies and other appropriate entities, were approved and set in action (3M, 1980 [3M_MN00000756]). For those who had to wait years to learn the outcome of the blood testing, 3M's actions demonstrated a careless attitude about the health and well-being of its employees as well as other stakeholders.
Finally, 3M made a number of false representations regarding the properties of its PFC-containing products to 3M customers. For example, 3M falsely represented for years that the fluorochemical surfactants in 3M's Aqueous Film Forming Foam were biodegradable. In a 1989 Technical Information bulletin for FC-783, a variety of AFFF, 3M described the substance as biodegradable and low in toxicity. The bulletin further stated that the 3M AFFF could be treated in a biological treatment system and encouraged environmentally-conscious customers to disperse this material into the environment (3M, 1989 [3M_MN02369894, -895]). In June 1988, 3M was confronted on this issue by Boots & Coots Protective Equipment, a frustrated purchaser from California (3M, 1988 [3M_MN01315290]). Boots & Coots noted its "surprise and total shock" upon learning that the Aqueous Film Forming Foam it had purchased from 3M was not, in fact, biodegradable, causing it "embarrassment and credibility loss." Even after 3M scientist E ric Reiner challenged his colleagues to stop "perpetuating the myth" that fluorochemical surfactants are biodegradable later in 1988, 3M continued to advertise Aqueous Film Forming Foam as biodegradable in its 1989 Technical Information Sheet (3M, 1988 [3MA10035965]; 3M, 1989 [3M_MN02369894]). Even as late as 1994, 3M continued encouraging its customers to use AFFF while privately acknowledging that it was not biodegradable. In a 1994 trip report from a meeting with representatives at the Texas A&M Fire Training school, the fire training school representatives expressed concerns over wastewater treatment and discharge of the training wastes. The representatives also expressed concerns about persistent foam that formed in the aeration pond, which 3M attributed

in an internal memorandum to "the non-degradable or slowly degradable surfactants in AFFFs" (3M, 1994 [3M_MN02470154, -155]).
Each of these examples illustrates a way in which 3M withheld relevant information from interested third parties. Due to the nature of the industry, producers of industrial products and waste like 3M often possess information that is not generally available, such as information about the producer's manufacturing process and waste streams, the properties of its products and wastes, and its waste disposal practices. 3M's non-disclosure of that information to outside researchers or regulators prevented them from discovering or assessing risks to the environment and human health and thus fell short of the standard of reasonable care.
V iolations o f E n viron m en tal Perm its. Even after 3M relocated many of its waste disposal activities away from the four Minnesota sites, it violated permits related to the handling of hazardous wastes.
For example, in 1978, after the Pine Bend landfill refused to accept wastewater treatment plant sludge and incinerator ash from the Cottage Grove plant, 3M began disposing of the sludge and ash on the Cottage Grove site without MPCA approval. Wastewater treatment plant sludge was disposed of at Cottage Grove until at least 1979 and incinerator ash until at least 1980. 3M was eventually fined in 1984, following repeated warnings, for "constructing and improperly operating a hazardous waste storage pile without a state and federal permit" (3M, 1984 [3MA00282920]; Santoro, 2017 (pp. 87-90)).
In sum, 3M failed to exercise reasonable care by dumping harmful PFC-containing wastes in a manner that would allow them to contaminate the groundwater and the Mississippi River. 3M's violations of permit limitations, lack of candor with regulators and outside researchers, and failure to adequately divulge the characteristics of these wastes were further violations of the standard of care. Finally, as evidence of the dangers of PFCs mounted, 3M declined to take any meaningful steps to prevent continued releases from its landfilled wastes into the environment. Its refusal to adequately respond to a known risk of harm is another, independent failure to act reasonably.

Consulting
Founder and President of K. W. Brown and Assoc., Inc., (1980- 1991). Chief technical consultant to K. W. Brown Environmental Services (1991-1999), SI Group, LP (2000-2009), TTI Environmental Consultants (2009-2011), and as an independent consultant (2011-Present). Past consulting activities have included assignments with Dupont, Alcoa, General Motors Corporation, Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing, WR Grace, Owens Corning, Union Pacific Railroad, Chevron, Shell, Exxon, Texaco, Arco, Sunoco, El Paso Products, New York Attorney General's Office, Illinois Attorney General's Office, Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Minnesota Pollution Control Administration, U.S. EPA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Dept. of Justice.
Consulting activities have included consultations on the cleanup and disposal of wastes, the impacts of hazardous waste on the environment, assessment and remediation of exploration and production releases, the design of hazardous waste landfills and solid waste management units, and the fate and mobility of chemicals in the soil, groundwater, and air, as well as, providing expert testimony at permit hearings, mediation hearings, civil suits, and before legislative bodies on these topics. My expertise has been utilized for site assessments, data review and interpretation, the study of fate and transport of contaminants in the environment, waste management activities, historical oilfield and landfill operations, and other related environmental matters. I have reviewed and interpreted a large quantity of analytical data for air, soils and groundwater, as well as boring logs, field logs, technical reports, and other information related to the environmental conditions of a site. I have prepared and reviewed remedial action plans for hundreds of sites including sites contaminated with metals, organic chemicals, pesticides, biological pathogens and petroleum production wastes. I have designed and implemented remedial actions at numerous hazardous waste sites under the auspices of both state and federal regulatory authorities.
As a consultant, I have evaluated or analyzed hazardous substances in industrial waste streams from numerous industries including the lumber and paper industries, the printing industry, chemical manufacturing industry, petroleum exploration, production, processing and refining industries, plastics and rubber products industry, leather tanning and finishing, metal smelting and finishing, electric utilities, and the electronic components manufacturing industry, among others. I have conducted extensive research on the hazardous substances contained in municipal and household waste with a special emphasis on the fate and mobility of these constituents in the environment after disposal in municipal solid waste landfills. I have provided evaluations and assessments for numerous waste disposal and landfill sites including the following: Love Canal Landfill, Lowrey Landfill, Helen Kramer Landfill, Junker Landfill, Lemberger Landfill, Laurel Park Landfill, Beacon Heights Landfill, RCA-Buzby Landfill, Valleycrest Landfill, Boarhead Farms, Pennsauken Landfill, Lone Pine Landfill, Ft. Bend County Landfill, and Sinton Landfill, among others. In addition, I have also provided expert testimony for civil actions involving the following Superfund sites: Hardage Criner, Montana Pole, National Gypsum, Brio/Dixie Oil Processors, Sikes' Pits, Turtle Bayou, Metal Bank of America, Tar Creek, and the West Dallas Lead Site.
