Antea Group Contributes to Environment Analyst Report on PFAS

ST. PAUL, Minn., March 28, 2023 /3BL Media/ - Antea Group consultants Caron Koll, Jack Sheldon, and Scott Recker shared their insights on future PFAS regulation in Environment Analyst’s recently published report “Why PFAS rulemaking is a game-changer for US consultants,” written by Steven Gilmore. This report discusses the ever-changing litigation landscape surrounding PFAS and how it’s driving more work toward consulting firms. New regulations include the recent EPA proposed rule that aims to establish legally enforceable levels for six PFAS known to be found in drinking water.

New regulations such as this one, consistent public pressure, worry about PFAS in drinking water, and the fact that regulations may soon expand beyond drinking water into other industries – such as wastewater and biosolids, are leading more businesses to seek out specialized environmental consulting help on PFAS issues, including identifying PFAS sources across supply chains, advising on risk management strategies, treating PFAS contamination and providing environmental litigation support.

Scott Recker, Senior Consultant and Environmental Remediation Practice Leader at Antea Group USA, is quoted in the Environment Analyst publication, saying “Our clients are nervous and their level of nervousness depends on who they are, what their risk tolerance is and what their brand image looks like.”

Additionally, treating PFAS is complex, and different technologies are often used. In the publication, Caron Koll notes that, “Treatment trains require a series of different technologies that are continually evolving. We don’t want to be locked into one particular vendor whose technology might not always be the best fit for our client.”

Lastly, as the US government slowly moves toward more PFAS regulations, consultants can expect an influx in demand for PFAS management services. However, not all firms are truly invested in comprehensive PFAS solutions. As Jack Sheldon notes in the report, “We expect an onslaught of PFAS work at some juncture due to regulatory change. Then it's going to be very interesting to see which consultants are true players and which ones are not.”
