The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issued a rule designating #perfluorooctanoic acid (#PFOA) and #perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (#PFOS) as #hazardous substances under the?Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (#CERCLA). In this blog, the Gibbons Environment Group provides an outline of what practitioners need to know regarding the wide-ranging implications of this rule for Superfund cleanups, development projects, public health, and the scope of environmental liability under CERCLA.

CHPA applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing H.R. 2964, the Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environmental Safety (WIPPES) Act today, bipartisan legislation we urged House and Senate leaders to reintroduce this Congress. Our SVP of Legal, Government Affairs & Policy David Spangler spoke to the importance of passing this common-sense, federal solution that has been debated by several U.S. states for some time now: "By addressing the non-flushable wipes issue in Congress, we can avoid a medley of differing state laws that would only lead to consumer confusion. This legislation will go a long way in addressing the challenges facing wastewater infrastructure, human health, and the natural environment." Click below to read our full press release:

On July 3, 2024, the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) filed a proposed regulatory amendment with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth to add seven United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances to the Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) List. These listings are mandated under the TURA statute, which requires that changes made by the US EPA to the EPCRA Toxic Chemical List be mirrored in the TURA Toxic or Hazardous Substance List. Notification of this regulatory amendment and public hearing notice have been posted in the Massachusetts Register and the Boston Globe today, July 19, 2024, signifying the opening of the public comment period which closes at 5 PM on August 9th, 2024.?The public hearing will be conducted via Zoom meeting at 1 p.m. on August 9, 2024. Testimony may be presented orally or in writing at the hearing. For more information on how to submit written comments and/or how to access the public hearing via zoom, please see this link:?https://lnkd.in/eysJ_iuH A copy of the proposed regulation may be found here: https://lnkd.in/eytc4-Tp Questions about updates to the TURA List?

On May 6, 2024, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) announced an update to the residential soil remediation standard for lead exposure. The new standard lowers the acceptable level of lead in soil from 400 mg/kg to 200 mg/kg, with the goal of reducing the risk of lead exposure through ingestion and dermal contact. The new standard took effect on May 6, 2024, with a six-month phase-in period for sites that submit a Remedial Action Workplan or Remedial Action Report before November 6, 2024. The updated standard will have the greatest impact on properties in suburban and rural areas, particularly those with historical uses of leaded gasoline and pesticides. The additional soil delineation and remediation required to meet the new standard of 200 mg/kg, could add significant cost to the investigation and remediation. Innovative remedial solutions that integrate multiple techniques can help minimize remediation costs. Contact Dresdner Robin to discuss the specifics of your project. #lead #remediation

Yesterday, the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) submitted comprehensive comments on EPA's proposed Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (#LCRI), acknowledging US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s efforts to reduce lead exposure in #drinkingwater while emphasizing the need for practical revisions. The association fully supports EPA's objective to swiftly address #lead exposure in #drinkingwater, advocating for the identification and replacement of #leadservicelines. However, the association highlights concerns regarding private property access, funding, and public notification requirements that may disrupt ongoing initiatives. As water systems need balanced #communication and understanding, AMWA urges EPA to consider their recommendations for a more achievable and enforceable rule.
