1. Short title This Act may be cited as the PFAS User Fee Act of 2019 . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances have emerged as pervasive contaminants in sources of drinking water and water to be treated by treatment works. (2) Such substances are not naturally occurring, but are present in water because of manufacturing and distribution of PFAS in commerce. (3) Such substances pose serious risks to health, including risks of cancer, reproductive and developmental effects, and effects on the immune system, liver, and kidneys. (4) Because of these risks, regulatory limits continue to be established for PFAS in drinking water and effluent from treatment works. (5) Removing PFAS from water results in significant ongoing operation and maintenance costs. (6) Those costs are currently borne by community water systems and treatment works, and in turn by ratepayers. (7) Those costs should rightly be borne by the manufacturers of PFAS, who are using community water systems and treatment works to remove their pollution from the environment. 3.
