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 the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation must test all public drinking water systems for per‑ and poly‑fluoroalkyl substances each year and after any local release. If contaminants exceed defined limits, the state must provide safe drinking water at no cost to affected users. It also makes the party responsible for a release – or the product’s manufacturer if the party complied with regulations – liable for testing and supplying clean water, and it creates a permitting process for thermal remediation of PFAS sites.
