EPA releases draft Contaminant Candidate List 6 (CCL 6) for public comment, listing PFAS as a contaminant group

EPA announced the release of the draft Sixth Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 6) for public comment. The draft list includes PFAS as one of the highlighted contaminant groups for evaluation under the Safe Drinking Water Act process. While CCL listing does not itself impose enforceable limits, it is a formal SDWA pipeline step that can drive monitoring/research priorities and can inform future regulatory determinations affecting drinking water compliance planning.
