S 4468 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DEP to establish maximum contaminant level for certain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances in drinking water and establish private well testing program.

This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to set specific safety limits for five types of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, in public drinking water. It mandates that these limits be established within 12 months and aligns them with federal standards, setting maximum contaminant levels ranging from 4.0 to 10 parts per trillion for specific chemicals. Additionally, the legislation requires the creation of a state-funded program to help private well owners test their water for PFAS contamination and provides financial assistance for remediation efforts. The bill also establishes a revolving fund to support these testing and cleanup activities and requires the department to submit annual reports on the program's progress and funding usage.
