PFAS have been around for over a decade, but in recent years, there has been significant progress in knowing how they affect people, and how public water systems are impacted by them. On April 30th, the EPA hosted a drinking water webinar series that went over the new PFAS regulations and what kind of treatment methods exist.

The experts at Best Best & Krieger LLP (BBK) dive into the EPA's finalized drinking water regulations for six PFAS chemicals. Read more at #PublicCEO bit.ly/3W3Y0dV

See below for a special edition of Geosyntec’s PFAS newsletter! The finalized rule also includes the following requirements: (1) Public water systems must monitor for these PFAS and have three years to complete initial monitoring (by 2027), followed by ongoing compliance monitoring. Water systems must also provide the public with information on the levels of these PFAS in their drinking water beginning in 2027. (2) Public water systems have five years (by 2029) to implement solutions that reduce these PFAS if monitoring shows that drinking water levels exceed these MCLs. (3) Beginning in five years (2029), public water systems that have PFAS in drinking water which violates one or more of these MCLs must take action to reduce levels of these PFAS in their drinking water and must provide notification to the public of the violation.

The US EPA has issued enforceable drinking water standards for six PFAS. This is going to change the landscape. You can read more about the implications of the new MCLs in our article linked below, or just give me a shout directly.

Now that OMB has cleared EPA's new drinking water rule for several PFAS compounds, it will be interesting to see what it did with the many, many comments and questions raised in the docket. For instance, will they still hold to four points per trillion as a standard? And what about the hazard index which they imported in from the Superfund program with minimal sanction in the Safe Drinking Water Act?

The US EPA has finalized the first-ever National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS, PFBS, and HFPO-DA in drinking water. Follow the link to learn more about the maximum contaminant levels that have been set, as well as CIL’s standards that support testing for these six PFAS compounds. https://lnkd.in/ewzpMgvG #pfas #npdwr #environment #drinkingwater
