The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) filed on open comment opposing the EPA’s proposed rule to designate two key PFAS chemicals as hazardous substances. The current proposal would require facilities to report any releases of the substances that exceed a certain quantity. NACWA’s comment states that public wastewater and stormwater systems are passive receivers of these chemicals and that the current proposal could bring undue burden to these agencies for cleanup costs.
