EPA identifies the Raritan Bay Slag site in Old Bridge and Sayreville, New Jersey; says EPA cleaned up the Margaret's Creek sector in 2018; and states that the current cleanup sequence includes the Seawall Sector and then the Jetty Sector.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 2467 passed the House 241-183 but was referred to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. The bill would require EPA action to remediate PFAS in the environment, publish Clean Water Act water-quality criteria, limit PFAS discharges into U.S. waters, issue a drinking-water regulation for PFOA and PFOS, and add PFOA/PFOS as hazardous air pollutants.

The PFAS bill was a concrete House-passed effort to protect water and air, but it did not become law in that Congress, so it supports effort and partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.

Pallone's official site reports that at a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee markup, he supported a national AI data center moratorium until Congress can ensure data centers do not harm air, water, or power bills.

This current-term official statement supports that Pallone continues to prioritize air and water protection, though it is advocacy rather than enacted cleanup funding.
