SUMMARY:Public Meeting on EJ Considerations for PFAS Drinking Water Regulation!
DESCRIPTION:EPA invites the public to participate in two identical virtual public meetings related to environmental justice and the development of the proposed Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) on March 2\, 2022 (1:00 pm to 4:00 pm\, eastern time) and April 5\, 2022 (5:00 pm to 8:00 pm\, eastern time). Registration is required. \nThe sessions will be an opportunity for EPA to share information and for communities to offer input on environmental justice considerations related to the development of the proposed PFAS NPDWR. We encourage the public to share thoughts on addressing PFAS drinking water contamination issues in their communities. \n\nMeeting Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/environmental-justice-considerations-for-development-of-proposed-pfas-npdwr-tickets-250307174497 \nWhen registering\, you will also have an opportunity to sign up to provide brief verbal comments during a meeting. Translations and disability access support can be requested during meeting registration as well. \nAdditionally\, EPA is accepting written public comments submitted to the public docket. You can submit your comments\, identified by Docket ID No\, EPA-HQ-OW-2022-0114 at https://www.regulations.gov. More information is available at: https://www.epa.gov/sdwa/and-polyfluoroalkyl-substances-pfas. \n  \nBackground:\nUnder the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)\, EPA sets public health goals and enforceable standards for drinking water quality. EPA is currently developing a proposed NPDWR for Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS)\, two types of PFAS. EPA is also evaluating additional PFAS and assessing the available science to consider regulations for groups of PFAS. NPDWRs are legally enforceable maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) or treatment techniques that apply to public water systems. MCLs and treatment techniques protect public health by limiting the levels of contaminants in drinking water. \nIn October 2021\, EPA released the PFAS Strategic Roadmap (https://www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-strategic-roadmap-epas-commitments-action-2021-2024) laying out an approach to addressing PFAS across the Agency. Establishing an NPDWR for PFOA and PFOS is a key action in the Roadmap.

SUMMARY:State Accepting Public Comments on Draft Permit to address Chemours Groundwater Contamination
DESCRIPTION:State Accepting Public Comments on Draft Permit to address Chemours Groundwater Contamination \nPermit is part of remediation plan to prevent PFAS discharge to the Cape Fear River \nThe North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources (DWR) is accepting public comments on a draft permit to treat PFAS-contaminated groundwater\, surface water and stormwater from the Chemours Fayetteville Works site before discharge into the Cape Fear River. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) wastewater permit is part of the required actions to prevent residual PFAS pollution from entering the Cape Fear River\, as outlined in the 2020 Addendum to the 2019 Consent Order. \nThe draft NPDES permit only allows the discharge of treated water associated with the remediation activities. It does not allow the discharge of wastewater from plant operations or processes. \nUnder the 2020 Addendum\, Chemours was required to address four identified seeps that account for more than half of the PFAS contamination in the groundwater entering the river. The required interim measures have been installed and Chemours has submitted plans to DEQ for approval of the permanent measure: a more than one-mile-long\, subsurface barrier wall and groundwater extraction system to capture contaminated groundwater and prevent it from entering the Cape Fear River. The draft NPDES permit requires treatment to remove PFAS contamination from the groundwater\, surface water and stormwater captured by the extraction system before discharge into the Cape Fear River. The system must remove at least 99% of PFAS and meet daily and monthly effluent limits as specified in the permit conditions. \nThe proposed NPDES permit does not change the conditions of any previous NPDES permit held by Chemours. \nDWR is accepting comments on the draft permit until May 2\, 2022. To submit comment by email\, send to publiccomments@ncdenr.gov with CHEMOURS noted in the subject line. Public comments may also be mailed to Wastewater Permitting\, Attn: Chemours Permit\, 1617 Mail Service Center\, Raleigh\, N.C.\, 27699-1617. \nThe draft permit and fact sheet are available to view online.

SUMMARY:Moral March on Raleigh
DESCRIPTION:The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is bringing a Moral Monday March on Raleigh to the steps of the state legislature on Jones Street. In North Carolina\, we know the power of bringing together a fusion coalition of people around a common set of demands. The state legislature continues to drive its extremist agenda using voter suppression and gerrymandered maps. Their policies are disproportionately hurting the 4.6 million poor and low-income people of our state. And the US Congress has failed thus far to pass real support that would fill the gap. We are coming to Raleigh to put our state and federal elected officials that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t… we won’t… we refuse to be silent anymore! \nThe Moral Monday March on Raleigh is part of a 10-stop mobilization tour toward the Mass Poor People’s and Low Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18\, 2022. \nThe Moral Monday March on Raleigh will lift up the voices of impacted people from across NC as well as Virginia and South Carolina\, joined by faith leaders\, moral allies\, and artists to demand that NC and this whole nation do MORE to live up its possibilities. \nRead more about how you can join us in Raleigh for the Poor People Campaign’s Moral March!
