Blog: EPA’s PFAS regulations will impact waste management and environmental cleanups
… While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has changed directions on several environmental subjects since President Donald Trump took office, PFAS regulations are not yet among those. Indeed, the Biden Administration EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap still is posted on the EPA’s website – at least for now – and the EPA has not reported in two cases the positions it will take on judicial challenges to final Biden-era PFAS regulations. Thus, although those regulations are under challenge, they are in effect, they have not been stayed, and they are having impacts in the regulated community. The EPA’s April 2024 PFAS maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) under the Safe Drinking Water Act will affect drinking water systems, of course. More broadly, they also will affect groundwater cleanups as the low MCL values become integrated into screening levels, risk analyses, and remediation levels.
