PFAS Regulations
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals found in various consumer products and industrial applications. They are important to regulate due to their persistence in the environment and potential health impacts, including cancer and liver damage.
Regulatory Overview: Key PFAS regulations include limits on allowable levels in drinking water and guidelines for contamination cleanup. The EPA and various state agencies have established stringent standards to mitigate PFAS exposure and environmental contamination.

Lead and Copper Rule
Lead service lines are pipes that carry drinking water from the main water supply to homes and buildings. These lines can corrode over time, releasing lead into the water, posing serious health risks.
Regulatory Overview: Regulations require municipalities to identify and replace lead service lines to reduce lead exposure. The EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule mandates regular monitoring, public education, and proactive replacement of lead service lines.

Ammonia Regulations
Ammonia is a compound commonly found in wastewater, which can be harmful to aquatic life and water quality if not properly managed. Effective regulation of ammonia levels is crucial to prevent environmental damage and protect public health.
Regulatory Overview: Regulations for ammonia in wastewater are set by the EPA and state agencies, establishing limits on ammonia concentrations in effluent discharges to prevent harmful effects on waterways and ecosystems.

Phosphorous Regulations
Phosphorus is a nutrient that, in excess, can lead to algal blooms and deteriorate water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams. Managing phosphorus levels is essential to maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems and safe water supplies.
Regulatory Overview: Phosphorus regulations are enforced by the EPA and state agencies, which set limits on phosphorus discharges from wastewater treatment plants to prevent eutrophication and protect water quality.
