Bill Summary
An Act amending sections 49-104 and 49-223, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to the environment.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona's environmental laws to require the director of the Department of Environmental Quality to establish drinking water aquifer water quality standards for certain pollutants, including perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), chromium-6, and 1,4 dioxane. The bill also requires the director to review standards adopted in other states and consider the latest scientific evidence when developing these standards, with the goal of protecting public health. The legislative intent is for these state-level standards to remain in effect only until the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency adopts a final federal maximum contaminant level for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water.
