Wisconsin PFAS Action Council (WisPAC)
Gov. Tony Evers declared 2019 the Year of Clean Drinking Water. As part of the statewide initiative to ensure Wisconsinites have access to clean, safe drinking water, Gov. Evers signed Executive Order #40 in August 2019 to address the issue of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in Wisconsin.
Executive Order #40 directed the DNR to create the PFAS Coordinating Council (now known as the Wisconsin PFAS Action Council or WisPAC) in partnership with other state agencies. WisPac has developed statewide initiatives to address growing public health and environmental concerns regarding certain PFAS substances. These initiatives are part of a statewide PFAS Action Plan.
