Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making available a draft memorandum that, if finalized, would provide guidance to operators of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and related facilities, landowners and farmers, state and Tribal water agencies, and the public on potential ways to reduce risk posed by perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) in biosolids, as well as seeking feedback on the potential next steps. The EPA is soliciting public comments on the draft memorandum and next steps. This draft guidance document does not have the force and effect of law, nor does it bind the public in any way. The intent of the draft guidance memorandum is to provide non-binding or voluntary recommendations for how to mitigate risks from PFOA and PFOS in sewage sludge and biosolids based on information currently available to the EPA.
