Comment submitted by Water Quality Association (WQA)

Summary: The Water Quality Association (WQA), a non-profit representing the water treatment industry, supports the EPA's efforts to provide PFAS destruction and disposal guidance but urges the agency to distinguish between industrial waste and small-scale drinking water treatment residuals. They argue that the guidance should use a risk-based framework to ensure that technologies used by consumers to protect public health are not unfairly burdened by regulations intended for primary PFAS source materials.
