Gramlich, Ingwersen applaud BEP rulemaking on law to phase out PFAS-contaminated products

AUGUSTA – On Thursday, the Maine Board of Environmental Protection (BEP) held a public hearing on a proposed rule regarding the unavoidable use of intentionally added PFAS in products. The rule will help implement a law passed last year that was sponsored by Sen. Henry Ingwersen, D-Arundel, and Assistant House Majority Leader Rep. Lori K. Gramlich, D-Old Orchard Beach, by establishing criteria for currently unavoidable uses of PFAS and implementing notification requirements.
