NCASI / WPC Technical & Regulatory Workshop
As PFAS regulations continue to emerge and evolve at both federal and state levels, dischargers are facing changes and new requirements in effluent discharge permits. The Midwest has been particularly active in this regard, with states including Minnesota and Wisconsin favoring enhanced PFAS monitoring requirements and the implementation of pollutant minimization plans. To assist the industry in preparing for these new requirements, the Wisconsin Paper Council (WPC) and NCASI hosted a one-day online Technical and Regulatory Workshop with special emphasis on mass balance analyses in support of PFAS minimization plans.
WORKSHOP AGENDA
