On November 30, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced two important steps to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS.)<\/p>\n

First, the agency issued a\u00a0memorandum detailing an interim National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting strategy for addressing PFAS in EPA-issued wastewater and stormwater permits. In this memorandum, the EPA advises permit writers to consider including PFAS monitoring at facilities where these chemicals are suspected to be present in wastewater discharges, including from municipal separate storm sewer systems and industrial stormwater permits. The agency\u2019s interim strategy also encourages the use of best management practices where appropriate to control or abate the discharge of PFAS. Note that EPA, not the State, is the permitting authority for NPDES for three states (Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New Mexico), the District of Columbia, most U.S territories, including Puerto Rico, Native American Indian Country and certain federal facilities.<\/p>\n
