Скачать или смотреть Identifying PFAS as a CERCLA Hazardous Substance: Are You Ready for This?

In this webinar we are pleased to have a special presentation from Ned Witte, Attorney at Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. Ned's presentation discussed collateral consequences of identifying PFAS as a CERCLA hazardous substance. On July 13, 2021, the United States House of Representatives approved the PFAS Action Act, which currently sits before the United States Senate for further action and possible approval. If enacted, the PFAS Action Act would require the United States Environmental Protection Agency to designate two PFAS, known as PFOA and PFOS, as Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act “hazardous substances” within one year and to make a similar determination on other PFAS substances within five years. Some observers believe that if Congress doesn’t pass PFAS legislation, U.S.EPA may act on its own. Such a CERCLA hazardous substance identification sounds intuitively appropriate, but what are the practical effects? Join Ned Witte, an experienced PFAS lawyer and lecturer, as he discusses collateral consequences of identifying PFAS as a CERCLA hazardous substance.
