U.S. Chamber Coalition Letter on Proposed Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG)

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sent the following coalition letter to the EPA urging them to engage the business community regarding the development and implementation of the proposed ELG for the Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers sectors.

"Our members support accelerating cleanup of PFAS in the environment based on the best available and peer reviewed science and risk management. We are concerned that communication from EPA on this issue has been limited thus far. The Clean Water Act requires EPA to implement the best available technology that is economically achievable for each relevant industry sector. While we believe a feasible solution between the regulated industry and EPA is attainable, active engagement among all stakeholders is essential"
