California Orders Public Accounting of PFAS Pesticides
California signed AB 1603 on September 27, requiring the Department of Pesticide Regulation to identify PFAS-containing pesticides in its use-reporting database and publish a list of registered products containing PFAS ingredients. The law turns pesticide-use information into a searchable public record rather than imposing an immediate ban, directing the agency to report PFAS use trends and notify county agricultural commissioners of listed products. For Aqueous Film-Forming Foams Products Liability Litigation (2873), the mandate expands the public evidence trail around PFAS sources and environmental pathways beyond firefighting foam. That disclosure record will give litigants a more concrete basis to distinguish pesticide-related contamination from the releases alleged in the foam cases.
Navy Keeps Jacksonville-Area PFAS Well Testing Open
The Navy’s private-well PFAS sampling program near Outlying Landing Field Whitehouse remains open through October 30, with property owners in the designated area invited to authorize testing by an accredited independent laboratory. The agency is also offering retesting to certain owners whose wells were sampled in 2019 and 2020, extending the investigation beyond an initial round of site screening. For Aqueous Film-Forming Foams Products Liability Litigation (2873), validated well results can sharpen disputes over exposure pathways, source attribution and the scope of remediation. The testing program does not determine liability, but it creates a current government-led record of off-base drinking-water conditions that parties will scrutinize in PFAS contamination cases.
