Micron Technology plans to build a semiconductor manufacturing complex in Clay, New York, with operations commencing in 2029. While the project promises economic development and job creation, environmental activists express concerns over the potential release of toxic chemicals, particularly those known as PFAS, into local waterways via wastewater discharge. Despite Micron’s pledge to comply with environmental regulations and invest in treatment systems, uncertainties remain due to the secretive nature of the semiconductor industry and the limited knowledge and regulations surrounding PFAS.
