MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will restart the process to change PFAS regulations for drinking water.
The Natural Resources Board approved a request for public hearings on the subject at its meeting last week.
The DNR wants to set regulations to meet federal guidelines, but the change must go through a full round of hearings and meetings.
If the change goes through, DNR staff say 90 water systems will have to be remediated statewide.
Legislative Republicans prevented a previous alteration of the standards after the agency used emergency rulings to push for remediation in several parts of the state.
