Re: PFAS Response Review
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
On April 10, 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the National Primary
Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR), establishing maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for
certain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl) compounds in drinking water. Prior to the adoption of
these new PFAS rules, Kalispell conducted PFAS sampling of source waters. Proactive testing
was performed twice in 2022, UCMR sampling was conducted twice in 2023, and voluntary
sampling occurred again in 2024. PFAS has been detected in four of the city's eleven well
sources: Grandview Well 91, Grandview Well 92, Armory Well, and Old School Well 1. Among
these sources, the Grandview Well 92 location exceeds the EPA's MCL for two PFAS
compounds, PFOS and PFHxS.

The upcoming presentation aims to provide a comprehensive review of the new PFAS NPDWR
and the City's action items in response to PFAS detection. The primary goals are to protect
public health and comply with the EPA regulations in both the short and long term.
Action items for long-term mitigation include conducting an alternatives analysis in a
Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) and subsequent implementation of projects to
permanently reduce or remove PFAS from the water supply. To limit exposure and meet current
federal regulations, the City may replace the wells, treat at the source, blend, or implement a
hybrid of alternatives. The two primary options currently under consideration by the City are
constructing new wells to replace the contaminated sources and installing treatment units. These
project alternatives will be evaluated for their effectiveness, timely completion, constructability,
compatibility with the existing water system, and both short-term and long-term operational
costs.
In the short term, considering recent tests that detected PFOS and PFHxS levels above the EPA's
MCL at Grandview Well 92, the City is reviewing two main options: minimizing the operation
of the Grandview Wells and/or providing temporary treatment during the summer months. The
City's consultant team is working on acquiring a cost estimate for temporary treatment, as well
as reviewing the availability and construction feasibility at the Grandview Wells location.
City staff will provide a brief overview of the funding necessary to complete the mitigation
projects. Efforts to procure funding including state grants and loan forgiveness, are underway
and will support the sampling, engineering, and construction phases of the projects. Finally, the
presentation will conclude with an outline of the next steps required to mitigate PFAS exposure
as quickly as possible.
Staff aims to gather Council insights and feedback during the work session discussion and from
public input to support a collaborative approach in shaping the next steps for implementation of
both short-term and long-term strategies.
