On 2026-04-24, the NSW Environment Protection Authority ordered 3M Australia to do additional testing after PFAS chemicals were detected in the Capertee River east of Mudgee, New South Wales. The update expanded a clean-up notice and required surveys for residents along nearby waterways. Officials said the river remained safe for swimming and boating, indicating a precautionary contamination response rather than a major acute spill.
