Schumer announced that – after relentless pressure from his office and an array of advocates and impacted community members – the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finally stated, in a letter to the senator, their intention to set a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) for highly toxic PFOA/PFOS chemicals. Schumer said that while this was a step in the right direction, EPA has routinely displayed a lack of urgency in addressing the PFAS crisis, and called on the EPA to expedite the process, adopt an aggressive timeline and issue a drinking water standard to protect public health with all due speed. Schumer said EPA must stop kicking the can down the road and instead must adopt a standard as soon as possible to protect public health and facilitate future cleanup efforts.</p>"}}
