A similar effort on behalf of Textiles Coated International, Inc. (“TCI”) in the town of Amherst,
due to PFOA contamination related to their previous existence as a manufacturer in that town,
was also undertaken at the request of the NHDES. The Company was contracted to do design
services for the expansion of the public water system in that area of Amherst, by TCI, and
construction of the expansion of that part of the system began in 2017, and was fully completed
in 2018. Once again, the entire cost of this project was borne by TCI, and has become part of the
Company’s owned infrastructure as CIAC assets.
