The Future of PFAS: Regulations and Implications

The Future of PFAS: Regulations and Implications

 After more than a year of waiting, in early April, the Environmental Protections Agency (EPA) announced a stringent Final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for five PFAS and GenX and a mixture of at least two of four PFAS.


Enforceable federal drinking water limits for PFAS are significant for discharges from landfill leachate, municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, and stormwater releases for several reasons:
 
  • Upstream Influence
  • Protecting Drinking Water Sources
  • Regulatory Compliance 
  • Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
  • Environmental Protection
  • Public Health Considerations
  • Public Confidence and Trust
  • Financial Impact
  • Liability
 Join us for an informational breakfast with Dr. Ivan Cooper, as he walks you through the new regulations and how it will affect you and your community.
 
Dr. Cooper is the Water and Wastewater Practice Lead for Civil & Environmental Consultants. He designed over 100 leachate, industrial, and municipal wastewater treatment plants.  He has a BSCE from Union College and a Master’s in Civil Engineering from Northwestern University.  He is a North Carolina Professional Engineer and also licensed in  20 other states, and is a Board Certified Environmental Engineer from the American Academy of Environmental Engineers with a Wastewater Treatment Specialty.  He is the past chair of SWANA’s Leachate and Landfill Liquids Management Committee. He is the Vice Chair of Water Environment Federation’s PFAS Task Forces and serves on their Industrial Waste Committee. He is a contributing author to WEF’s new book on PFAS. He received the 2017 Roy F. Weston Award – for contributions in solid waste technology and management, and the 2019 Distinguished Individual Achievement Award from the Solid Waste Association of North America. He served as a subject matter expert on wastewater and solid waste for the US State Department in the Palestinian West Bank and in Morocco.
