EPA releases draft CCL 6 for public comment; PFAS included as a contaminant group

EPA announced the release of the draft Sixth Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 6) and indicated that Federal Register publication will open a 60-day public comment period. PFAS are included as a contaminant group in the draft CCL 6, which can influence future monitoring and drinking water regulatory actions under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Compliance teams should monitor the Federal Register notice and prepare to comment, as CCL decisions can drive downstream regulatory obligations.
