EPA's New PFAS Water Plan: More Time, More Funding
Description
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has unveiled a new plan to address PFAS contamination in drinking water, offering a two-year extension to meet federal limits for PFOA and PFOS. This extension aims to ease the burden on water utilities, allowing them to develop and implement treatment systems more effectively. The EPA is also reassessing standards for other PFAS chemicals and launching a public comment period. Additionally, the agency is allocating nearly one billion dollars in grant funding to states, focusing on smaller and underserved communities, and promoting research into better treatment methods. The proposed rules are now open for public comment.
