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

EPA announced the release of the draft Sixth Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 6) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which includes PFAS as a contaminant group (alongside other contaminant groups). This opens an SDWA pipeline step that can inform future regulatory determinations; compliance teams should monitor the comment process and potential downstream drinking water regulatory actions affecting PFAS.
