An Act relating to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances; relating to thermal remediation of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance contamination; and providing for an effective date.

Summary

The bill adds new sections to Alaska’s water quality statutes requiring the Department of Environmental Conservation to test all public drinking water systems for per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) each year and after any local release. If a test shows PFAS at or above specified limits, the department must supply affected residents with alternative drinking water at no cost. It also creates liability for parties that cause releases and establishes permitting requirements for thermal remediation of PFAS contamination.
