Emerging Contaminants. Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). The AFC write-ups provided below include: • A brief description of the issue/challenge; • The relevant NHDES and EPANE management and technical staff contacts; • A description of what a successful environmental, public health, or efficiency outcome looks like; • Proposed major milestones and/or action steps (with estimated deadlines, where available); and • Anticipated resource needs or constraints, as well as any known barriers or major disinvestments required. To maintain a high level of attention on the new AFCs, and to gain the greatest benefits of a cooperative, problem-solving approach, close communication between both agencies is necessary throughout the Agreement period. Appropriate staff from the two organizations will provide coordinated, narrative updates to senior leadership at least annually to ensure that desired progress is being made on the selected AFCs. At the end of each year, the Areas for Collaboration will be reviewed and amended, as necessary. It should be emphasized that exclusion of a particular issue or program area from the “Areas for Collaboration” section does not indicate a low priority or that significant work is not being accomplished in that area. All core NHDES and EPANE services are ongoing and remain essential to protecting the environment and public health in New Hampshire and in New England. The separate, but closely-related Priorities and Commitments Lists and NHDES Comprehensive Work Plans that will be developed under the authority of the over-arching PPA during FFY 2022 – 2025 will document in writing the specific work tasks associated with each of the Areas for Collaboration, as well as many other critical, ongoing work tasks across a wide range of program areas and issues.
