In the October 17, 2022 NJ Register, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) posted interim soil remediation standards for several per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) compounds, using authority provided in NJAC 7:26D Remediation Standards, which does not require public or stakeholder participation. The interim standards are for the direct contact and migration to groundwater exposure routes, and include perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid and its ammonium salt (also known as GenX).
