Contamination in state drinking water supplies has been and continues to be a public safety issue. However, Wisconsin lawmakers have taken the initiative to craft a plan of action to regulate harmful PFAS in Wisconsin drinking water supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an article written by the<\/span> Green Bay Press Gazette<\/span><\/a>, on Thursday January 30th, 2020, republican and democratic leaders proposed a bipartisan plan that would provide state funding to address the PFAS contaminated drinking water supplies. Additionally this proposal mandates that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) must create a set of rules that establish groundwater standards for chemicals.<\/span><\/p>\n

This legislation is seen as an incredible compromise between lawmakers in the state. Previous legislation efforts, such as the CLEAR Act, have been struck down due to the differences in how to handle the PFAS situation between democratic and republican leaders in Wisconsin.<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of $1 million dollars will be set aside for the Wisconsin DNR to test PFAS in private water systems and $250,000 will be used in researching ways to destroy PFAS. Additionally, the DNR has ordered an investigation of 31 sites across the state for any levels of PFAS.<\/span><\/p>\n
