Clean Water Standards for PFAS Act of 2024

This bill requires the EPA to establish new water quality standards and discharge limits for PFAS chemicals (like "forever chemicals") within strict deadlines. It mandates the EPA to publish human health criteria by 2027 and set industry-specific discharge limits for targeted sectors (e.g., chemical manufacturing, electroplating, landfills) by 2025-2027. The bill also requires immediate monitoring of PFAS discharges from these industries and wastewater treatment facilities, and allocates $200 million annually (2024-2028) to help treatment works address PFAS contamination. These changes directly affect regulated industries, wastewater systems, and communities near water sources contaminated by PFAS.
