EPA announces PFAS OUT initiative to support drinking water systems ahead of PFAS NPDWR compliance timelines

EPA announced the PFAS OUTreach (PFAS OUT) initiative to work with communities and public water systems to reduce exposure to PFOA and PFOS in drinking water ahead of federal PFAS drinking water compliance timelines. While not a new binding legal limit, it is an official implementation/support initiative that can affect compliance planning, stakeholder engagement, and readiness activities for systems subject to the PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR).
