"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will hold a virtual listening session on EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap March 2 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. for residents of the Mid-Atlantic region, including Virginia. The Roadmap lays out an approach to addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, and sets timelines by which EPA plans to take specific actions and commits to bolder new policies to safeguard public health, protect the environment, and hold polluters accountable.

In November 2022, EPA released “A Year of Progress Under EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap,” which underscores key actions taken by the agency during the first year of implementing the PFAS Roadmap. The March 2 Zoom meeting will provide information about EPA’s ongoing work under the Roadmap and what it means for the Mid-Atlantic region, which includes Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. The session will provide opportunities for communities to share feedback directly with EPA representatives about the actions described in the Roadmap.

Residents interested in participating can register online at pfascommunityengagement.org/register. For details about EPA’s PFAS efforts, visit www.epa.gov/pfas."
