LSPA PFAS Task Force
April 19, 2019 - POSTED BY Kristi Lefebvre POSTED IN Blog The LSPA Board realizes the need for an LSPA PFAS Task Force to cover the ever-changing and consuming topic of PFAS, and are in the process of setting out goals and a charter. We would like to gauge interest and ask for volunteers now so that we can start to get organized. This sense of urgency stems in part from the formation of a MassDEP PFAS stakeholder group, and the fact that this group already had their first meeting.
Information on the MassDEP PFAS stakeholder group can be found here.
The LSPA should have been on the invite list since we submitted a letter at the "PFAS Petition" hearing. We have been in touch with the Drinking Water Program, Bureau of Water Resources who tells us the next stakeholder group meeting will be the week of June 17 - no definite date yet.
Attending these stakeholder meetings (which are open to the public) will be an initial key task for the group.
Please contact Wendy Rundle at [email protected] if you would like to join the LSPA Task Force.

MassDEP Finalizes Guidelines for Five PFAS in Drinking Water
June 11, 2018 - POSTED BY Kristi Lefebvre POSTED IN Blog MassDEP released drinking water guidelines today for five PFAS chemicals and sent the following information to Public Water Suppliers and other parties.
From the Waste Site Cleanup perspective, the background information on the development of the guideline will also serve as background information for Waste Site Cleanup’s soon-to-be-proposed MCP Method 1 GW-1 Standard for PFAS. MassDEP expects to keep us up-to-date throughout the summer on the status of the proposed MCP revisions and MassDEP’s approach to PFAS.
September Compliance Tip
September 27, 2017 - POSTED BY Kristi Lefebvre POSTED IN Blog The LSPA presented the following compliance tip at the September Membership Meeting at Marriott Newton Hotel in Newton, MA on September 26, 2017. When a property with a Notice of Activity and Use Limitation (AUL) has been sold, the Responsible Party must submit to MassDEP a Form BWSC 113 with a copy of the recorded deed conveying the record title. Remember it is essential that subsequent property owners be given notice of the AUL. |
