ABSTRACT
EPA’s Office of Science and Technology will briefly summarize current Clean Water Act (CWA) method projects, future Methods Update Rules, and discuss priorities for future method projects. EPA will discuss the different pathways for a method to be approved at 40 CFR Part 136. A status update will be given for current EPA-funded laboratory validation activities in support of the CWA. These include, but are not limited to, PFAS method efforts, droplet digital PCR method validation, continuous monitoring efforts, Gross Alpha/Beta method revision, 6-PPDq method validation efforts, review of Alternate Test Procedures, and other collaborative efforts. EPA will review anticipated projects for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
