The California State Water Resources Control Board (“Board”) issued a March 20 document entitled:

Order for the Determination of the Presence of PER- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances.

See Order WQ 2019-0006-DWQ.

The Order is directed at a list of California landfill facilities identified in an attached document.

The Order states in part:

Your site is identified in Attachment 1 as a facility that has accepted, stored, or used materials that may contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Therefore, you are required to submit the information in the Attachment 2 to the appropriate Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) identified in the cover letter.

The Order states that due to analytical limitations, the focus is on 39 PFAS analytes including PFOA and PFOS listed in Attachment 2 to the Order.

Attachment 3 addresses the requirement for submitting technical reports under Section 13267 of the Water Code.
