Advocacy Update
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released Effluent Guidelines Program Plan 15 in January 2023, which recommends new Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) for landfills to prevent discharge of PFAS. ELGs are national, technology-based regulations developed to control industrial wastewater discharges to surface waters and into publicly owned treatment works (POTWs).  The timeline to develop ELGs and their content is still unknown, as public review and comment on a preliminary plan are still required. Currently, EPA states that this will occur “pending resource availability” (from SWANA National).
