The Southern Environmental Law Center ("SELC") offers the following comments on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's National Enforcement and Compliance Initiatives for Fiscal Years 2024-2027. We support the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to begin an initiative to address the threat that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") pose to our communities. As explained in the attached comments, we encourage the agency to direct its focus to enforcing the Clean Water Act to abate ongoing PFAS discharges from municipal wastewater treatment plants and industries that use PFAS. These comments are submitted on behalf of SELC and 65 other environmental organizations.
