Resource Management PFAS Liability Protection Act of 2023
This bill protects certain waste and compost facilities from federal environmental liability for PFAS releases under CERCLA. It exempts owners/operators of solid waste facilities and compost processors from lawsuits if PFAS was released during permitted disposal of municipal waste residuals, biosolids management, or compost processing under state law. The exemption does not apply if the facility acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. This directly affects waste management companies, compost businesses, and government entities operating these facilities.
