The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is developing revisions to the state’s groundwater quality rules in NR 140, Wisconsin Administrative Code. The rule revisions are intended to add new state groundwater quality standards for four per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) and hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA/”GenX”). In accordance with s. 160.07, Wis. Stat., amendments to ch. NR 140, Wis. Adm. Code, groundwater quality standards for substances of public health concern are based on recommendations from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).

The DNR has developed a draft NR 140 Economic Impact Analysis and is holding a public comment period to solicit additional information or advice on the economic effect of the proposed rules.
