EPA issues draft CCL 6 for public comment including PFAS as a contaminant group

EPA published a news release announcing the draft Sixth Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 6) and opened a public comment process. The draft list includes PFAS as a contaminant group, which can influence future drinking water regulatory determinations and monitoring priorities. Compliance teams should monitor the CCL 6 process and consider submitting comments, particularly if future SDWA actions could affect PFAS monitoring, treatment obligations, or product stewardship expectations.
