PFAS

The Michigan Supreme Court issued an order Friday returning an industry challenge to the state’s PFAS drinking water standards to a lower court.A divided Supreme Court instructed the Michigan Court of Appeals to consider the fact that the chemical manufacturer 3M challenged a rule drafted in 2019 before the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy adopted final standards in 2020.

President Donald Trump pulled a Biden administration plan to set effluent limits on PFAS. Michigan currently has PFAS regulations for drinking water supplies in place, though they are currently being challenged in court.
