[SRRA]: Drinking Water Quality Institute (DWQI) comment period for draft Maximum Contaminant Level recommendation for Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS)

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 Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS).

Consistent with the DWQI public participation process (https://www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply/pdf/dwqi-flowchart.pdf), the DWQI is holding a 60-day (December 5 through February 5, 2018) 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 PFOS. Please indicate which Subcommittee report the submitted comments pertain to.

• Health Effects Subcommittee Report: Health-Based Maximum Contaminant Level Support Document: Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS)
• Testing Subcommittee Report: Report on the Development of a Practical Quantitation Level for Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) in Drinking Water
• Treatment Subcommittee Report: Second Addendum to Appendix C: Recommendation on Perfluorinated Compound Treatment Options for Drinking Water
  • Original Treatment Subcommittee Report: Appendix C: Recommendation of Perfluorinated Compound Treatment Options for Drinking Water (2015) (https://www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply/pdf/pfna-pfc-treatment.pdf)

Comments will be accepted until 5 pm on February 5, 2017

ALL COMMENTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO watersupply@dep.nj.gov Additional information on the DWQI can be found at: https://www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply/g_boards_dwqi.html
