PFAS tracking for landfills and wastewater plants
Landfills that collect leachate must test it for PFAS on a schedule the Department approves. They must send results to the Department and include them in their annual report. The Department posts annual PFAS results online. Wastewater dischargers that accept landfill leachate must keep records and report each year where it came from, how much there was, and how it was handled, in a format the Department sets.
