Department of Defense PFAS Discharge Prevention Act
This bill requires the Department of Defense to request modifications to stormwater discharge permits at military facilities, mandating quarterly testing for PFAS (chemicals used in firefighting foams and other military products) and implementation of best practices to reduce discharges. It applies to all DoD facilities with active permits under the Clean Water Act, with exceptions for permits already containing these requirements. The bill also directs that at least 1% of annual funds allocated for PFAS remediation must be used for monitoring and reduction activities at these facilities. These provisions aim to standardize PFAS testing and controls across military sites without creating new regulatory standards.
