On June 15, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) formally adopted regulations that set site remediation standards for four PFAS compounds – PFNA, PFOA, PFOS, and GenX. The adoption formalizes interim standards that have been in place since 2022 and 2023.
“With the formal adoption of these site remediation standards, the Sherrill Administration is delivering on its mission to protect public health, provide clean drinking water to the public, and restore the environment from decades of PFAS pollution across the state,” said NJDEP Acting Commissioner Ed Potosnak.
The adopted rule requires those responsible for conducting remediation in New Jersey to ensure that these contaminants are cleaned up to prevent future impacts to public health and the environment, including potential impacts to drinking water. NJDEP developed these standards in consideration of the most recent toxicological information.
