The EPA has estimated that their final rule designating PFAS as hazardous substance will be coming in February 2024. This CERCLA designation will have critical implications for manufacturers of PFAS and PFAS-containing products, owners/operators of properties or facilities where PFAS was released or disposed, and other various entities. This panel will closely examine topics including:
- Analyzing the EPA’s final rule designating PFAS as a “hazardous substance” under CERCLA
- Examining the status of the final rule, projected timelines and Congressional responses
- Assessing the implications of a CERCLA designation for owners/operators of properties or facilities where PFAS chemicals were released or disposed
- Understanding the full scope of liability implications for “Potentially Responsible Parties” (PRPs), including:
- Manufacturers and importers of PFAS chemicals
- Businesses that use or manufacture products containing PFAS
- Entities that have generated, transported or arranged for the disposal of PFAS chemicals
- Waste management and wastewater facilities that treat PFAS contamination
- Assessing the circumstances under which “Potentially Responsible Parties” may be found responsible under CERCLA and potential ways to minimize liability

- Kegan A. Brown, Partner, Lowenstein Sandler LLP; 2024 Co-chair, ACI Premiere Summit on PFAS Regulation, Compliance, and Litigation
