Illinois EPA has submitted formal comments opposing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s draft guidance for reducing risks from PFAS in biosolids without significant revisions.

Our comments highlight concerns that the draft guidance lacks clear, actionable recommendations and sufficient scientific data to meaningfully protect human health and the environment.

Illinois EPA is urging U.S. EPA to withdraw the draft, complete its sewage sludge risk assessment it began in 2024, and reissue comprehensive guidance grounded in sound science.
