PFAS State of the Union & What to Expect in 2025

Taryn McKnight, Vice President and PFAS Practice Leader, Eurofins Environment Testing (USA) 

The USEPA has carried out a plethora of initiatives under the first PFAS Strategic Roadmap, issued in 2021. This was a three-pronged plan of attack to address PFAS through research, restriction, and remediation through 2024. As we usher in a new administration and a new Congress, so comes a new agenda to carry us through the next four years. As 2025 will be well underway during the timing of this conference, we will review important rule-making recently enacted and still in progress, critical implications of those rulings, and provide an update on the state of PFAS regulatory efforts moving forward.  Key topics will include:  • Updates on significant regulations as of April 2025 to include but not limited to CERCLA, RCRA, SDWA, CWA, and the NDAA.  • New agendas from congressional committees such as the Environment & Public Works, the FDA, the DoD, and other key federal agencies.
