The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) announced recently that it will postpone the Jan. 1, 2026, reporting deadline on products containing intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This is welcome news for businesses that were frantically preparing for the fast-approaching deadline. This column explains the state’s PFAS reporting rule, and summarizes the current, fluid state of play in this state’s evolving PFAS program. - Lynn L. Bergeson, “EPA Outlines Actions to Address PFAS,” Chemical Processing, May 14, 2025
On April 28, 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) outlined upcoming agency action to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). According to EPA’s much anticipated announcement, “[i]n line with Administrator Zeldin’s Powering the Great American Comeback initiative, EPA’s work in this space will advance Pillar 1: Clean Air, Land, and Water for Every American, and Pillar 3: Permitting Reform, Cooperative Federalism, and Cross-Agency Partnership.” - Lynn L. Bergeson, “The Cost of Cleanup: Preparing for PFAS remediation battles,” Corporate Disputes, January – March 2025.
In April 2024, EPA opened an enormous can of worms for entities even remotely association with the generation, transport, use or disposal of two legacy PFAS: perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS).
