PFAS Issues Affecting Water & Wastewater Authorities

PFAS have continued to be a major topic for those involved in both the drinking water and wastewater industries. Many PMAA members have attended our past seminars/webinars on this ever-developing area of law and science, and have a basic understanding of the issues surrounding PFAS.

This session will present a short, basic overview of PFAS-related issues, but will also address more recent issues of concern to PMAA members both in the water and wastewater fields.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Overview of PFAS

• Recent state regulatory activities around the country, including the latest cleanup "standards"

• A review of Pennsylvania PFAS-related issues

• EPA's recent action to regulate PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act

• Discussion on EPA's PFAS Action Plan and 2020 update

• How PFAS-related actions could impact water and wastewater treatment plants in Pennsylvania
