- Shaping technical guidance: Advising on sampling strategies, analytical methods (e.g., EPA Method 1633A), and frequency protocols.
- Defining standards: Helping to set thresholds and identify actionable levels for PFAS in biosolids.
- Ensuring stakeholder buy-in: Balancing agricultural interests, public health concerns, and wastewater utility operations.
- Framing next steps: Guiding Ecology’s interpretation of PFAS test data and future policy recommendations for the 2029 report.
