Illinois Attorney General issued the following announcement on May 12.
Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a coalition of 19 attorneys general, filed comments with the U.S. Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) supporting the agency s proposal to include 29 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly known as PFAS, in the fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5). Through UCMR 5, the EPA will require public water systems to monitor for these substances, which will provide valuable data about the occurrence of PFAS contamination in public water supplies around the country.
While supportive of requiring public water systems to monitor for these 29 PFAS or forever chemicals, Raoul and the attorneys general also asked the EPA to require monitoring for total PFAS, promptly validate an analytical method for total PFAS, advance environmental justice with PFAS monitoring and lower the minimum reporting levels for the PFAS included in UCMR 5.

A massive redevelopment project in Falls moved forward as officials approved plans from NorthPoint Development for a 1-million-square-foot warehouse at a former U.S. Steel property.
Supervisors unanimously granted preliminary and final land development plan approval that will kick off what will ultimately be to 15 million square-feet of development on the 1,800-acre site bringing potentially 5,000 to 10,000 new jobs to Bucks County.
NorthPoint plans to carry out the multiple phase warehouse project with 20 or more state-of-the-art industrial warehouse buildings for various Fortune 500 companies.
Possible tenants include GM, Amazon, Chewy, Walmart, UPS, FedEx and more.
Supervisors approved a master plan for the site in December, but the new Keystone Trade Center project is spread across multiple plots requiring NorthPoint return to the township for individual plan approvals.
