AECOM to provide enhanced support to clients in response to U.S. EPA’s latest PFAS regulatory compliance requirements
11 Abril 2024 - 7:55AM
Business Wire
With now over 1,200 successful PFAS projects at more than 600
locations globally, the Company is advising clients through its
industry-leading emerging contaminants expertise following the
EPA’s finalization of its National Primary Drinking Water
Regulation rule.
AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced that it is engaging with clients across the
United States as they seek to respond to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) recently announced final regulatory rules
establishing maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for six per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water.
As a leading global water, environment, and program management
design firm with nearly 25 years of experience providing PFAS
solutions, the Company is well positioned to extend its track
record of success in supporting clients in their stewardship of the
nation’s clean drinking water. AECOM boasts one of the world’s
largest PFAS technical teams and is a global leader in emerging
contaminant services, consistently ranked as one of the top
environmental and water consulting firms.
“The EPA’s new regulations are expected to generate significant
infrastructure investment across the water sector — something our
teams have prepared for intensively through an unrivaled track
record spanning multiple decades and hundreds of sites,” said Lara
Poloni, AECOM’s president. “By continually expanding PFAS expertise
across our business lines, we’re well positioned to deliver
best-in-class, programmatic solutions to our clients as we expand
our presence in one of our fastest growing markets.”
AECOM’s PFAS clients across the water, wastewater and industrial
sectors include municipal governments, utilities, airports,
manufacturers, and defense agencies. The Company offers an array of
comprehensive, holistic PFAS solutions that can address client
needs at each step of the mitigation process, from source
identification and mitigation to water treatment and, ultimately,
destruction.
“EPA’s latest standards are a bold step toward protecting
individuals from the health impacts of these prevalent compounds,”
said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water
business. “We look forward to providing our clients with a balanced
suite of PFAS solutions, helping them mitigate risks while meeting
the urgent demands for clean water in all of our communities.”
“Our PFAS expertise and market leadership position us as a
partner of choice for both public and private sector clients as
they meet these conservative limits,” said Frank Sweet, chief
executive of AECOM’s global Environment business. “Our world-class
environmental capabilities complement our engineered solutions to
mitigate and remove PFAS, enabling us to support our clients in
decision-making for the broadest range of PFAS solutions needed to
protect human health.”
In addition to designing and implementing state-of-the-art water
treatment facilities for PFAS globally, the Company’s
industry-leading, patented PFAS destruction technology,
DE-FLUOROTM, has been successfully employed by clients around the
world. The technology utilizes an innovative electrochemical
oxidation process to sustainably and economically destroy PFAS mass
in contaminated liquids.
