Navigating PFAS Regulations: Are You Prepared?
The EPA’s final rule designating two specific per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS), namely PFOA and PFOS, as hazardous substances under CERCLA was finalized on April 19, 2024 and went into effect July 8, 2024.
How does this action affect how you manage your residuals, land transactions and ongoing / previously closed assessment and remediation actions?
Other applicable Federal rules including Safe Drinking Water, NPDES, TRI, and TSCA are already codified with RCRA months away. Is your company and operations ready for the direct and indirect impacts and liabilities created by this avalanche of regulation and requirements?
AllenES’ multidisciplinary PFAS/Emerging Contaminants Services Team has developed a proactive framework to help navigate and manage your operations to understand, mitigate and control costs and liability associated with this minefield.
Contact John Ryan, Emerging Contaminants and Assessment/Remediation Practices director, at jryan@allenes.com or 601-326-2821 for more information.
