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
