The regulation of PFAS chemicals is of great importance. HB 245 (Bulova) and HB 1085 (Rasoul) will address this issue. Any compromise with a substitution that weakens the legislation is not in the best interest of citizens. People should know if harmful chemicals are in their drinking water. --Tyla Matteson, Chesterfield County

House Agriculture, Chesapeake & Natural Resources Chesapeake Subcommittee Testimony in Favor of HB245 and HB1085 January 29, 2024 Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony on critical bills to regulate PFAS, the forever chemicals. I am Robin Broder, Deputy Director of Waterkeepers Chesapeake, the coalition of 17 Waterkeeper programs in the Chesapeake and Coastal Bays region. I'm also here as a Virginia resident and mother of two young women. As a mother, I’m very concerned about how families have been exposed to these chemicals for decades – and future generations will be exposed -- unless we act today. Four bills – HB245 & SB462 and HB1085 & SB243 -- have been filed this session to assess and regulate the sources of PFAS -- this is critical as we need to stop use of and discharge of PFAS at the source before it reaches public drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities. The substitute proposal before the committee is not one or any of those bills. While likely well intended in trying to consolidate the bills, the substitute is flawed, and will do little to identify sources of PFAS pollution in Virginia. This substitute bill does not require public water systems (of any size) to test for and/or report PFAS in their raw water. The substitute is focused on maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for large public drinking water systems only and excludes facilities that serve fewer the 3,300 people (more than 2600 facilities) which are more likely to be located in environmental justice communities. The critical flaw is there is that requirements in the substitute bill do not apply unless two things happen: 1. the large public drinking water facility monitors for PFAS using EPA approved methods; and 2. they report the results of their monitoring that exceeds EPA's proposed MCL for PFAS to DEQ. In contrast, the four bills that were filed are all self-executing, meaning that upon adoption, they will require initial assessment of PFAS sources and reporting to DEQ. The common-sense bill introduced by Delegate Bulova and Senator Marsden offers a path forward to develop a more complete picture of industrial PFAS discharges to Virginia waters in a targeted way. It will provide useful data to help shape DEQ and VDH action in the future. Virginia should join other Chesapeake Bay states and become a leader on protecting families and drinking water from toxic forever chemicals. We oppose the substitute and support the original four bills. Robin Broder robin@waterkeeperschesapeake.org

HB 245 PFAS - This bill should become law. Human health and environmental health are threatened by human ability to produce chemicals faster than we can determine their long term harms. Let's start to act in our own best interest by getting this situation under control.

HB47 Please support this bill. Invasive plants should not be available for sale in Virginia nurseries. Our state government has estimated that invasive plants are costing Virginia's economy upwards of $1 billion per year. I walk around our neighborhood clipping English Ivy off of trees as these invasive vines slowly kill trees. Much of the general public, landscapers and nurseries are ignorant about the cost of invasive plants. They spread and over take our landscape destroying habitat and food for our birds, pollinators and other wildlife. HB320 Please support this bill which would allow the many volunteers that are tackling the invasives problem to do an effective job in eliminating them once and for all by using herbicides. HB316 Please support this bill so we can move to a circular economy. We need a recycling vision and facilities so that Virginians can keep plastic out of the ocean, re-use glass, paper and aluminum. Business opportunities exist at the local levels. Food waste and compostable packaging need a digester. Plastics can be recycled into toys and other consumer products. There should be no single use products that pollute our land and our oceans. Without commitment this won't happen. HB245 Please support this bill and let's see what chemical companies are dumping into our environment. PFAs are dangerous and are accumulating in all of our bodies. They are everywhere. We need to stop and protect ourselves and our children. The toxic chemicals surround us and we allow the chemical companies to dupe us into thinking that they are safe.
