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 rules that require Alaska’s public water systems to test for PFAS chemicals every year and to provide safe drinking water at no cost when contamination exceeds set limits. It also makes the parties responsible for releases—either the polluter or the product’s manufacturer—pay for testing and for supplying clean water, and it sets permitting requirements for facilities that use heat to clean up PFAS sites.
