CONCORD — The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has filed a final rulemaking proposal to establish maximum contaminant levels for drinking water standards and ambient groundwater quality standards for four per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including: perfluorooctanoic acid, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, perfluorononanoic acid and perfluorohexanesulfonic acid to ensure greater protection of public health related to the consumption of drinking water.

The rulemaking proposal was filed with the New Hampshire Joint Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules for consideration at its July 18 meeting. If approved, the new rules are scheduled to become effective on Oct. 1.
