This article published in Water & Wastes Digest discusses how PFAS contaminants are likely to be listed as hazardous substances under CERCLA, and the impact this will have on water utilities.
Article highlights:
- American Water Works Association has requested Congress directly provide an exemption to the water sector under CERCLA for PFAS-related activities
- PFAS disposal remains a challenge, as water and wastewater treatment systems generate solids
- PFAS are certain to become the most economically consequential groundwater contaminants since the EPA was formed
REGENESIS provides solutions designed for groundwater and soil remediation. Its colloidal activated carbon (CAC) technology is designed to immobilize PFAS in situ at or near their source. PlumeStop is designed to remove PFAS from groundwater and eliminate the exposure risk to downstream receptors such as drinking water supplies and surface water bodies. Scott Wilson, REGENESIS President & CEO, notes that PFAS contaminants’ impact encompasses their pervasiveness, non-degrading nature and pending federally enforceable action levels for PFOA and PFOS, which will be established at “unprecedented, low concentrations.”
