EPA releases Draft Sixth Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 6) for public comment, including PFAS as a contaminant group

EPA announced release of the Draft Sixth Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 6) for public comment. The draft includes PFAS as one of the contaminant groups under consideration. While CCL inclusion does not create enforceable limits, it is a key SDWA prioritization step that can drive additional monitoring/research and future regulatory determinations and rulemaking that may affect water systems and PFAS compliance planning.
