Guide for Investigating Historical and Current Uses of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances at Department of Energy Sites

The Guide for Investigating Historical and Current Uses of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances at Department of Energy Sites is designed to help the Department better understand its past and present uses of PFAS, identify areas of potential releases into the environment, and develop information to characterize and assess PFAS risks.

DOE sites are unique in their missions, their agreements with regulators, and their frameworks for regulation.  The approach recommended in the guide is a potential starting point for sites to address potential PFAS contamination in coordination with their regulatory partners.
