S 1970, The Clean Water for Military Families Act, will require the Secretary of Defense to conduct testing for and remediation of perfluoroalkyl substances and polyfluoroalkyl substances at or surrounding installations of the Department of Defense located in the United States, formerly used defense sites, and State-owned facilities of the National Guard. Fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS are hazardous "forever" chemicals that create serious health problems. The presence of PFAS has been confirmed at more than 300 Department of Defense installations, and is likely detectable at many more. The Department has testified that it could take approximately 30 years to clean up the PFAS pollution at affected sites. This is simply too long a timeline. Our military members and their families deserve at a bare minimum access to clean water at Department of Defense installations.
