The bill would require the Secretary of Defense to ask for changes to stormwater discharge permits for Defense facilities. Within one year of enactment, the Secretary would request that permits require PFAS discharge monitoring at least quarterly and appropriate practices or technologies to reduce discharges. No request would be needed if a permit already includes both requirements.
The bill concerns stormwater permits at Defense facilities. It does not specify particular facilities or explain how the requirements might affect nearby communities.
At least 1% of funds available each year to the Secretary of Defense for PFAS remediation would have to be used for the monitoring and discharge-reduction activities. No total funding amount is specified.
