Adds total value of the deal in first paragraph and comment from New Jersey Attorney General in the 5th paragraph BRUSSELS, June 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. branch of Belgian chemicals company Solvay SOLB.BR has struck a nearly $393-million deal with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to settle some claims linked to drinking water pollution caused by one of its plants, Solvay announced on Wednesday. The funds will be used to test for, filter and clean up pollution from per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, near the company's southern New Jersey plant.
