U.S. EPA DRAFT SEWAGE SLUDGE RISK ASSESSMENT FOR PFOA AND PFOS 

On January 14, 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released the Draft Sewage Sludge Risk Assessment for Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane  Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) for public comment. 

• The Draft Assessment can be found HERE

• The Risk Assessment Review by the experts confirming the assessment is flawed can be found HERE
   

If we want the option of biosolids recycling to be available in the NEAR future, we need EPA to withdraw this Draft Sewage Sludge Risk Assessment and accompanying narrative from the record. We strongly encourage EVERYONE to submit comments. The easiest way is by electronic submittal: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov/ . Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. ​
