As the transition continues, it’s still uncertain what stance the new administration will take on PFAS. However, things should start to clear up as the U.S. EPA begins to take action on plans temporarily stalled under the Regulatory Freeze Pending Review. In this month’s PFAS News and Views, we look at what the future holds for several programs as well as several other items of interest to our PFAS clients.

Pace® has been testing biota (plant and animal tissue) for various pollutants for years. Recently, we’ve seen an increasing number of requests to analyze PFAS levels in biota. Since this topic is relatively new for many in our PFAS-oriented audience, we recently conducted an online webinar to cover some basics. I’ll share highlights from that webinar in this post. It is also available in its entirety on demand:

In October, Pace® conducted a webinar on the final rule designating PFAS as Hazardous Substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), or what most of us commonly think of as “Superfund.”

As the year winds down, there’s still plenty of PFAS regulatory action happening, both in the U.S. and abroad. In the PFAS News and Views, we highlight a few stories of interest.

The U.S. EPA may be reaching the end of its four-year PFAS Strategic Roadmap, but there are still a few loose ends to tie up. This summer also brought us plenty of state-level PFAS action as at least five states enacted bans on PFAS in consumer products. In this post, we look at some recent actions and those that might be taken before the end of 2024.

We’ve rounded the halfway point in 2023 and are well into the third quarter of the year. Regulatorily speaking, summer is often a slow time of year. Still, there are quite a few actions worth noting before we enter the busy fall season.

Lately, we’ve all been watching and waiting for the EPA to publish its proposed MCLs (Maximum Contaminate Levels) for PFOA and PFOS and to designate these two compounds as hazardous substances under CERCLA (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act). These two actions will have a huge impact on everything from Public Water Systems, to manufacturing, to property sales.

The world of PFAS contamination, testing, and regulation has been moving forward at breakneck speed as the U.S. EPA continues to implement its PFAS Strategic Roadmap for 2021-2024. To help Pace^® customers stay up to date, we’re compiling the latest news and developments we think should be on everyone’s radar.
