Nothing Lasts Forever: Helping You Navigate PFAS Compliance
As the science and regulations around PFAS evolve, businesses across industries are being asked to comply with increasingly complex and sometimes confusing requirements. At Crystal Clean, we take a consultative approach, helping you understand what’s changing and what it means for your facility.
Key Regulatory Changes You Should Know About
- Federal Mandates on AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam): Phase-out and proper disposal of AFFF containing PFAS compounds is now required for many facilities.
- CERCLA Hazardous Substance Designation: Specific PFAS compounds (PFOA and PFOS) are now designated hazardous under CERCLA, affecting liability and cleanup obligations.
- EPA’s New Drinking Water Standards: Maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) are being finalized for key PFAS compounds, affecting wastewater discharge and remediation thresholds.
- State-Specific Rules: Many states now enforce their own PFAS monitoring, disposal, and cleanup regulations—often stricter than federal guidelines.
At Crystal Clean, we understand that compliance is more than just checking a box. It’s about protecting your business, your employees, and the environment. That’s why we take a proactive approach, working closely with you to review the types and volumes of PFAS-related waste streams at your facility, and how to best manage them in compliance with all relevant regulations. Our team will handle your PFAS problems so you can continue to focus on your business.
