Maine's farmers have lost fields, livestock, and livelihoods after decades of sludge spreading, leading to the ban of the practice in 2022. EPA's new draft guidance threatens to undo that hard-won lesson nationally. Instead of finalizing the Biden-era risk assessment, which found farmer health impacts far above EPA's own safety thresholds, the agency is offering only voluntary advice and shifting responsibility onto individual families to protect themselves. Signing this petition tells EPA that Maine's experience should inform stronger federal standards, not get erased in favor of guidance industry groups helped shape. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/say-no-to-epa-guidance-on-pfas-in-sludge
