South Carolina H5572 directs the Department of Environmental Services to develop PFAS guidelines with the EPA.

South Carolina H5572 mandates the Department of Environmental Services to create comprehensive guidelines for PFAS compounds in collaboration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency. These guidelines must establish science-based thresholds for safe and dangerous levels of PFAS in drinking water, surface water, groundwater, and soil. The guidelines also need to identify specific PFAS compounds of concern, delineate levels warranting increased monitoring and public notification, and consider the protection of vulnerable populations.
