PFAS RAPID Response Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to begin interim cleanup actions for PFAS chemicals at no fewer than 100 military sites within two years of the law taking effect. Covered sites are Defense Department installations whose expected investigation or study completion dates were pushed back between a December 2024 and a June 2026 Department publication. The Secretary could start actions at fewer than 100 sites only if not enough sites meet a federal regulatory factor, and would then have to report that finding to Congress. The bill also requires timely completion of cleanup actions already underway and a briefing to the Armed Services Committees within 30 days.
