Published Date: 7/1/2026
Presidential Document
Summary
The President has given the Air Force a special 1-year pass (from June 26, 2026, to June 26, 2027) to fix up the Joint Base Andrews golf course without having to follow usual water pollution rules. This means the Air Force can speed up their work without worrying about certain permits or penalties. The project affects the Air Force and local communities near the base, aiming to make the golf course better while keeping other laws in place.

One‑Year Clean Water Exemption for Andrews Project
The President exempted the Department of the Air Force's rehabilitation and revitalization of the Joint Base Andrews golf course from Federal, State, interstate, and local requirements, administrative authority, process, and sanctions regarding control and abatement of water pollution for the 1‑year period June 26, 2026 to June 26, 2027. The exemption applies to "each and every effluent source" associated with that Air Force project.
Statutory Limits Preserved (33 U.S.C. 1316, 1317)
The Presidential exemption does not remove or waive the requirements of 33 U.S.C. 1316 and 33 U.S.C. 1317; those statutory provisions continue to apply to the Department of the Air Force's golf course revitalization at Joint Base Andrews during the exemption period.
