These include, but are not limited to, PFAS method efforts, a low-resolution GC-MS select ion monitoring method for PCB congeners, continuous monitoring efforts, microbiology method validation, review of Alternate Test Procedures, and other collaborative efforts. EPA will review anticipated projects for fiscal years 2022 and 2023.
