Michigan AG Issued Statement Supporting EPA’s PFAS Regulations

APRIL 10, 2024

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) issued the final version of its proposed national standards for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water: “My office has tirelessly defended the sound, science-based limits on PFAS developed by the State to protect our drinking water supplies. EPA’s new standards support what we have been saying all along – the PFAS limits in drinking water are important and defensible – and 3M’s self-serving challenge to our rules is meritless.” 3M—a company that the Michigan AGO has sued for violating state PFAS laws—had previously challenged Michigan’s PFAS laws in court.
