Clean Ports for Commerce Act

This bill would require the Army Corps of Engineers to plan ahead before dredging in areas where it has information that the dredged material will contain PFAS chemicals. Before the dredging starts, the Corps would have to identify where the dredged material will be disposed of. It would also have to identify how it will reduce the effects of the dredging on water quality and public health related to PFAS. The Corps would also have to identify any possible delays in the work caused by the presence of PFAS.
