|
Rule Number: |
16P031 |
|
Title: |
Vermont Groundwater Protection Rule and Strategy. |
|
Type: |
Standard |
|
Status: |
Proposed |
|
Agency: |
Agency of Natural Resources |
|
Legal Authority: |
10 V.S.A. § 6603(1). |
|
Summary: |
The proposed rule establishes a primary groundwater quality enforcement standard for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). |
|
Persons Affected: |
Plastics manufacturers, firefighting organizations, wire coating industries, semiconductor industries, and other prior users of PFOA or PFOS. |
|
Economic Impact: |
A groundwater enforcement standard is used to determine whether an investigation and corrective action is needed to protect human health or the environment when there is a release of hazardous material. Any release of hazardous material is legally prohibited. The Agency does not have the legal authority to allow adverse health outcomes, such as cancer or adverse childhood developmental outcomes, based on the economic impact associated with adopting a standard. Economic impacts of specific cleanup options are considered when selecting a final corrective action to remediate any release. |
