New reportable chemicals every year!
- The Federal List of Lists is updated with new chemicals every year. Importantly, 175 Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances, also known as PFAS, were added in 2021 and are now subject to reporting under the Groundwater Protection Program as hazardous substances. Even more PFAS compounds were added in 2023 and 2024 along with a handful of other compounds.
- PFAS are common in a lot of modern products and processes. In particular, chrome plating, electronics, and certain textile and paper manufacturers are likely to have PFAS in their operations.
- Please check in with your suppliers for updated Safety Data Sheets to see if these newly listed chemicals are in use at your facility. And as always, you can contact the Columbia Corridor Association or your local city water provider with any questions.
