Wheeler Faults States' Criticism Of EPA's PFAS Action Plan As 'Inaccurate'

摘要

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler is strongly rejecting state regulators' criticism of the Trump administration's action plan targeting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), saying their recent letter criticizing the plan includes "inaccurate" statements, such as that the plan fails to address the contaminants broadly as a class. "I believe that our PFAS action plan is the most comprehensive multi-media action plan ever developed by EPA in its 49-year history for a chemical concern," Wheeler told the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) Spring Meeting April 8 in Arlington, VA.
