Uncertainty Surrounds Trump EPA’s PFAS Approach Pending New Leadership

Jay Cruz / Wednesday, April 9, 2025 0 2562 Article rating: No rating

The Trump EPA is holding off on making any definitive moves regarding Biden-era PFAS regulations as it awaits the appointment of a new PFAS lead. According to a spokesperson from EPA, the agency will not comment on how the administration intends to address PFAS contamination until the new appointee is in place—though it remains unclear who that will be or when they will begin. This decision signals that PFAS may continue to be a priority, even if the new administration attempts to roll back the landmark CERCLA designation, drinking water rule, and other policies.

During remarks at a March 24 meeting, Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) reaffirmed her push for bipartisan legislation to exempt passive receivers of PFAS contamination from Superfund liability. While past negotiations stalled with Democrats in the previous Congress, Capito has long indicated her support and has renewed her case for addressing the issue. Additionally, she further indicated that upcoming legislative proposals will likely address PFAS destruction technologies as well as reinitiate efforts to establish a consistent, narrower federal definition of PFAS.

The future investments and development of the renewable fuels sector face some uncertainty. Earlier this year, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) released guidance on the Clean Fuels Production Credit (Sec. 45Z), a tax credit that consolidates and replaces previous credits for biodiesel, renewable diesel, alternative fuels, and sustainable aviation fuel. The recently issued guidance marks an important step toward implementing the credit and supporting the future development of renewable fuels markets.
