§8933 Nationwide sampling

Summary

The Director must test across the nation for highly fluorinated compounds in water and soil using the standard from section 8932(a). Testing must start at drinking-water sources near known or suspected releases; drinking water must be sampled before and, if the Administrator asks, after treatment. The Director must prioritize human drinking-water exposure and coordinate with States and the Administrator to set priorities and avoid duplicate testing. Within 120 days after sampling ends, the Director must send the results to the Senate Committees on Environment and Public Works and on Energy and Natural Resources; the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and on Natural Resources; the Senators from sampled States; and the House Members from sampled districts.
