[SRRA]: Drinking Water Quality Institute Request for Public Input for Perfluorooctanoic Acid

TAKE NOTICE: DRINKING WATER QUALITY INSTITUTE REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INPUT FOR PERFLUOROOCTANOIC ACID

The Drinking Water Quality Institute (DWQI) was established (Title 58:12A-20) to make recommendations including the development of maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), development of appropriate testing techniques to measure MCLs, and testing frequencies for implementation by the Drinking Water Quality Program of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The DWQI has developed a draft MCL recommendation for Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA).

Consistent with the DWQI public participation process (www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply/pdf/dwqi-flowchart.pdf), the DWQI is holding a 60-day (September 22 - November 21, 2016) public comment period during which the public may submit comment on the Subcommittee Reports pertaining to the development for a recommendation for a Maximum Contaminant Level Recommendation for PFOA. Please indicate which Subcommittee report comments pertain to.
