Climate Workgroup

January 2024 - December 2024

In recent years we have received several project proposals identifying the need for an ITRC project on a wide range of challenges related to climate resilience and adaptation. In 2022-2023, several States through ERIS’s Biennial Survey identified specific issues of concern, and in 2022, ECOS launched a new Climate & Energy Workgroup to identify best practices and strategies for climate resilience.

The formation of the Climate Workgroup is a new mechanism for ITRC. The Workgroup will be tasked with assembling interested ITRC community members and experts to review current climate resilience and adaptation resources and knowledge to identify gaps and opportunities for ITRC. The Workgroup will convene for no more than one year to develop recommendations and proposals for ITRC’s BOA to consider for future projects.

PFAS

January 2024 - December 2025

The ITRC PFAS Team will continue to produce guidance and training updates and new resources to help regulators and other stakeholders improve their understanding of the current science regarding PFAS. A focus for the next two years will be an expansion of content in the PFAS Technical and Regulatory Guidance Document (PFAS-1) and fact sheets specific to remediation and treatment technologies (Chapter 12). The Team will also develop enhancements to the usability of the PFAS-1 document website and increase the frequency of updates.
