9 New PFAS Chemicals Added to TRI (Toxic Release Inventory) Reporting

We spoke with Greg Ackerson from Apex Water Solutions on their onsite leachate treatment technology. The WARP system promises to remove 100% of PFAS. We get the details from Greg on how this system works.Greg is a facility and technology expert who strives to improve his client’s-built environments as well as their operational efficiencies.He specializes in working with both public and private sector clients to improve the health and safety of their built environment as well as improving their operational efficiencies.You can check out The Apex Companies here: https://apex-co.us/ Listen to learn more and subscribe to The Pulse for all the details.

Join hosts Tom Simmons and Matthew Wallace, joined by HRP's EHS&S Practice Leader, Jackie Baxley, as we break down the new deadline for PFAS TSCA reporting.EPA announced an interim final rule which extended the dates of the reporting period for data submissions for the TSCA PFAS reporting rule. Submissions are now due by October 13, 2026, for most manufacturers. Small businesses reporting data solely on importing PFAS contained in articles have until April 13, 2027, to submit reports. This rule provides much needed time for the regulated community to assess its manufacturing (including import) from 2011 to 2022 relative to PFAS.  Prior to this rule being published, the reporting period was set to open this July with reports due January 11, 2026. For more information on this rule, refer to HRP’s webinar presented February 2025: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNalxzfPxog  Listen to learn more and subscribe to The Pulse for all the details.
