In a statement Tuesday, the White House said they 'strongly oppose' a bill that would help prevent PFAS, a type of chemical linked to certain cancers that has been found in drinking water sources across the country, because it would undermine 'public confidence in the EPA's decisions.'
Tuesday, the White House indicated that it would veto the PFAS Action Act of 2019 legislation designed to keep harmful chemicals out of groundwater should it pass through the House and the Senate.
"PFAS is a clear threat to human health and our environment," wrote Dingell in a November 2019 statement. But the Trump administration"strongly opposes" the passage of the act because it would not be cost-effective. "By doing so," the statement read,"the bill would create considerable litigation risk, set problematic and unreasonable rulemaking timelines and precedents, and impose substantial, unwarranted costs on Federal, State, and local agencies and other key stakeholders in both the public and private sectors."
