In this webinar we are pleased to have PFAS legal expert Ned Witte, Esq., Partner at Witte Davis Law LLP, as a special guest speaker. His presentation will discuss navigating PFAS regulations, including the proposed rollback of SDWA, Superfund showdowns, and how states are moving ahead.
Highlights of this free webinar:
-
The SDWA rollback - Why EPA is rescinding MCLs for four PFAS, what the 2031 compliance extension means, and what the public comment record may reveal
-
CERCLA’s PFOA/PFOS designation - EPA’s enforcement posture, D.C. Circuit litigation status, and a look at how Superfund litigation is unfolding, who is suing and being sued, and how defendants are using CERCLA tools like the “useful product” defense
-
Wisconsin Acts 200 and 201 as a national proxy - Passive receiver exemptions, dedicated grant programs, and the “causer pays” principle
-
New Jersey as contrast - $2.8 billion in manufacturer settlements and a new product-based PFAS statute as a distinct but instructive accountability model
-
The product-ban frontier - How Minnesota, Maine, Colorado, New Mexico, and others are driving financial responsibility upstream to manufacturers through product prohibitions and disclosure mandates
