Hi Linda,
I have some information that might help DEQ with items mentioned below (and highlighted).
During the E0Smeeting, Gloria Post of NJmentioned NJ isworking ondrinking water levels for emerging PFASs. NJ
had an interim drinking water level for perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA). There was a recent announcement to the NJ
register for public comments on a permanent IVICL for PFNA. Gloria sent me some links to documentation (below).
