State drinking water, surface water, and groundwater regulations are now all in one place—through an easy-to-use, interactive map.
Regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) vary by state and continue to evolve. We gave you a map on drinking water in November 2021—now you can see our latest update adding groundwater and surface water regulatory criteria.
Our map tracks current and pending enforceable and non-enforceable PFAS regulations on drinking water, surface water, and groundwater. Our goal is to provide an easy-to-use PFAS regulatory resource that is current, complete, and loaded with helpful references.
If you commented on our prior version, we listened. This map has even more of the great features our users, clients, and colleagues have requested.
“This tool provides all those interested in PFAS regulations with a quick, accurate, and comprehensive look at developments across the country,” says Integral Managing Principal Avram Frankel, P.E.
Mr. Frankel and Logan Uselman, Ph.D., led Integral’s PFAS regulation map team.
A consulting engineer and testifying expert, Mr. Frankel has more than 30 years of experience in site remediation, aquifer restoration, and groundwater treatment. He has presented webinars on PFAS remediation and environmental issues with REGENESIS and with the National Groundwater Association, and has served on expert panels related to PFAS.
Dr. Uselman is an environmental scientist with a focus on fate and transport of contaminants in both surface and subsurface settings. She has experience with environmental remediation, environmental quality monitoring, data analysis, and inorganic and organic chemistry.
Map Methods
Integral developed the map as part of its research to compile accurate and current information on state regulations of PFAS. The primary sources were state government websites, publications, and communications. The team conducted a two-party quality assurance/quality control check to ensure the accuracy of the information. To our knowledge, this is the most complete compilation of publicly available PFAS water regulatory criteria. Feel free to reference them, as needed.
Integral will also be releasing map updates with other PFAS regulations in the coming months.
