NJDEP Establishes New Interim Specific Groundwater Quality Standards for PFOAs & PFOs

The NJDEP Site Remediation & Waste Management Program (SRWMP) have established new Interim Specific Groundwater Quality Standards for Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) at 0.01 micrograms per liter (ug/L) (or 10 parts per trillion-ppt).  If your Site in New Jersey has, or had the potential to store, use, manufacture, dispose, or discharge these contaminants, further evaluation is recommended.  This starts with a Preliminary Assessment (for “Entire Site” Remediation Cases) and potentially a Site Investigation and/or Remediation.  For Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRPs) in NJ, and other environmental consultants, look to have plenty of back-up data or information to justify the use of professional judgment…and the reasons why further evaluation/ assessment was not warranted. 

Further information on this NJDEP update are provided here SRWMP_ implementation of March 13, 2019 Interim Specific GWQS.  Additional resources can be found at the Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC).
