On Feb. 14, 2019, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler held a live-streamed press conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
describing the release of EPA's anticipated PFAS Action Plan. According to the press release:
"The PFAS Action Plan is the most comprehensive
cross-agency plan to address an emerging chemical of concern ever
undertaken by EPA. For the first time in Agency history, we
utilized all of our program offices to construct an
all-encompassing plan to help states and local communities address
FAS and protect our nation's drinking water. We are moving
forward with several important actions, including the maximum
contaminant level process, that will help affected communities
better monitor, detect, and address PFAS."
