DEC released:
- A progress report detailing the state’s leadership in addressing PFAS;
- A new study detailing the widespread presence of PFAS on the landscape;
- A finalized wastewater treatment plant guidance that protects drinking water and other surface waters;
- A proposal of new policies directing the agency’s actions in PFAS investigations and sampling of biosolids products; and
- A new PFAS webpage, which provides a one-stop resource on these and other initiatives and information about the agency’s efforts to address PFAS.
