Description
The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet's PFAS information page provides guidance on the current status of EPA's PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) effective June 25, 2024. The page notes EPA's May 2026 proposed rules: one proposing to maintain MCLs for PFOA and PFOS with an option for water systems to request compliance deadline extensions to 2031, and another proposing to rescind regulatory standards for PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DO, and the Hazard Index. The page confirms the 2024 PFAS NPDWR remains in effect until a new final rule is published.
