EPA-WASTE DISCHARGE PERMIT

Summary

The bill amends the Illinois Environmental Protection Act to require that any National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for a major facility include regular testing for per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in influent, effluent and biosolids where applicable. It also obliges permit applicants to provide full PFAS characterization of their wastewater and mandates testing for sludge or biosolids used on land. These measures aim to improve detection and control of PFAS pollution from large industrial and wastewater treatment sources.
