New Jersey Coalition Members Hear from DEP and the Legislature About Efforts to Address PFAS in our Waterways
CDRW’s New Jersey members have been busy the last couple of months. We had the opportunity to hear from both the Department of Environmental Protection and NJ Assemblyman Brandon Umba about ongoing efforts to address the impact of PFAS in New Jersey waterways.
PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are manmade chemical toxins that pose a significant threat to public health, water quality and wildlife. PFAS have been linked to severe human health impacts, including cancer. These substances are present in many of the products that we use in our everyday lives and they have been found virtually everywhere, from the Arctic to the Delaware River.

Unfortunately, as currently written, HB 1300 proposes to transfer $150 million in funding from the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) to the Clean Streams Fund (CSF) for fiscal year 2023-24.
