Addressing PFAS in the Environment, Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

The Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments and feedback to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Potential Future Designations of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) as CERCLA Hazardous Substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

GWPC’s comments on the advance notice of proposed rulemaking under CERCLA express the concerns of our state agency members, including anticipated impacts to UIC programs and facilities as well as groundwater quality concerns regarding potential future designation, or designations, of categories of PFAS as hazardous substances.
