Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act

This legislative proposal mandates the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to establish new regulations aimed at preventing pollution from pre-production plastic materials. Specifically, the Administrator must promulgate a final rule within 60 days of the Act's enactment to address this environmental concern. The core of the rule is to prohibit the discharge of plastic pellets or other pre-production plastic materials , including into wastewater and other runoff. This prohibition extends to facilities regulated under specific parts of the Code of Federal Regulations, as well as any point source that makes, uses, packages, or transports these plastic materials. The requirements of this rule must be incorporated into all relevant wastewater, stormwater, and other permits issued by the EPA and State-delegated programs, in addition to applicable performance standards.
