Two years ago, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced new rules designed to protect the nation’s drinking water from dangerous, cancer-causing per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It was a small first step to protecting us from these substances, but a good one.
But now, the Trump administration claims these rules were instituted unlawfully and must be rescinded. The EPA is taking comments NOW through July 20 on its illegal plan to reverse these rules.
Speak up today: Use our form to tell the EPA to protect our families and communities from toxic chemicals in our water!
These federal rules limit the allowed concentration of six of the most common PFAS found in drinking water. All of these pose a risk to human health individually, and they're even more dangerous in combination.
Rescinding the rules isn't just a bad idea, it would violate the Clean Water Act’s anti-rollback rule, which prohibits replacing a clean water standard with anything weaker than what's currently in place.
Join us in speaking up today: Tell the EPA to follow the law and fulfill its mission to protect our families and communities by keeping these important rules in place!
