PFAS in the legislature

WIWSA

Washington S-0160.2 Senate Joint Memorial 8001 was read before the Environment committee on Jan 26, 2021. While this bill asks the federal government to assist in PFAS remediation, it contains a paragraph attempting to foreclose on the establishment of cleanup standards for PFAS.

The full test of the bill and of the board’s letter can be found below. Continue reading PFAS in the legislature
