Guidance development process

Guidance development process and timeline

The guidance document uses an evidence-based approach that builds upon the framework and strategies presented in previous MPCA publications.

The MPCA hosted a voluntary public comment period in September – October of 2023.  Comments received during the voluntary public comment period have been incorporated into the final Remediation PFAS Guidance and MPCA responses to the public comments are provided below.

Stakeholder advisory group

In order to efficiently develop the PFAS guidance with an aggressive timeline, a dedicated stakeholder advisory group was assembled from sectors that will be affected by PFAS at remediation sites. The stakeholder advisory group meets approximately every other month in a closed session meeting to discuss the components of the guidance document. Stakeholders for each sector provide written comments on draft materials prepared by MPCA. These comments will reflect the input from all engaged sectors. If you have feedback, questions, concerns, etc. please reach out to the designated stakeholder representative for your sector so they can share your feedback at the stakeholder advisory group meetings.

Members of the PFAS stakeholder advisory group represent all the sectors engaged in PFAS remediation. For more information about your sector, please coordinate with member(s) representing your stakeholder group.
