Director warns new PFAS bills will require landfill leachate treatment by 2032
Summary
Landfill Director Paul Klose told the Mar-Oco Committee that recently introduced Assembly bills would obligate municipal solid waste landfills to install or arrange PFAS leachate treatment by Dec. 31, 2032, or have formal disposal agreements with WDNR-approved facilities.
Landfill Director Paul Klose told the Mar-Oco Landfill Committee on April 10 that newly introduced state Assembly bills address identification, sampling, treatment and remediation of PFAS in waters and would affect municipal solid waste landfill leachate handling.
Klose said the bills would require landfills to have a treatment or pretreatment system, work toward installing a pretreatment system, or have "a formal agreement in place to dispose of leachate at a WDNR approved PFAS treatment facility by December 31, 2032." The committee record does not list bill numbers or specific statutory citations; members discussed the timeline as a planning and compliance issue for future operations. "Assembly bills that deal with identifying, sampling, treating, and remediating waters containing PFAS" were cited as the legislative focus in the meeting minutes.
