EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a comprehensive plan to combat PFAS contamination. Key actions include designating an agency lead for PFAS, creating effluent limitations guidelines to prevent PFAS from entering drinking water, and working with Congress to establish a polluter-pays liability framework. The plan emphasizes strengthening science, fulfilling statutory obligations, and building partnerships to provide resources for states and communities dealing with PFAS. This is the first phase of a larger effort to address PFAS contamination across all EPA program offices.
