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 goes 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.
