Description
MassDEP has issued guidance clarifying that nine PFAS chemicals added to the federal TRI list for Reporting Year 2025 remain reportable under the TURA Certain PFAS NOL (Not Otherwise Listed) Category until formally added to the TURA chemical list. The TURA Administrative Council has voted on these substances and draft regulations have been published for public comment. The nine substances include Perfluoro-3-methoxypropanoic acid (CAS 377-73-1), Ammonium perfluorodecanoate (CAS 3108-42-7), and Sodium perfluorodecanoate (CAS 3830-45-3), among others. Facilities preparing TURA reports for reporting year 2025 (due July 2026) should report these substances under the Certain PFAS NOL Category at the category threshold. Once formally added to the TURA list, these will become individually reportable at the 100-pound threshold.
