PFAS WEBINAR SERIES - Part 1: PFAS Regulatory Status Update

Part 1 of this 3-part PFAS webinar series will provide an overview and status update to EPA’s most recent rulemaking and non-rulemaking actions relevant to PFAS management.  Over the past few months, EPA has promulgated several final rules on PFAS that impose real or potential impacts to many manufacturers in the Hoosier state.  We will summarize high-level requirements and/or rulemaking milestones for the following environmental laws: Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act (CERCLA); Clean Water Act (CWA); Emergency Planning Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA); Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA); Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA); and Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

This presentation will also provide a more in-depth review of the EPCRA final rule.  The primary focus is on EPA’s characterization of PFAS as “Chemicals of Special Concern” and changes to Supplier Notification requirements and their impacts on de minimis exemption, threshold determinations and a review of best readily available information.
