D.C. Circuit Affirms PFOA And PFOS Hazardous Substance Designation Under CERCLA
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld EPA's designation of PFOA and PFOS as CERCLA hazardous substances, rejecting challenges from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce regarding the agency's interpretation of "substantial danger" and cost-benefit analysis. This landmark decision significantly expands EPA's enforcement authority and opens the door to federal cleanup requirements and cost recovery litigation for PFAS contamination.
