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).
