The following LSPA compliance tip was introduced at the May 2024 Membership Meeting, which was held remotely on May 16, 2024 via Zoom.  

Compliance Tip of the Month
 The U.S. EPA has promulgated MCLs for PFAS in drinking water; states are required to establish their own regulations that are no less stringent than the federal standards within two years.

While the current Massachusetts PFAS regulations have not yet been amended, practitioners are reminded that the MCP requires (310 CMR 40.0993(3)) the comparison of all current and foreseeable exposure point concentrations in GW-1 areas to applicable or suitably analogous standards (ASASs).

The EPA MCLs must be factored into your site decisions.
