§2712 Reporting on Usage and Spills of Aqueous Film-forming Foam

Summary

The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Environment must tell the Senate and House Armed Services Committees within 48 hours after learning of a use or spill of aqueous film‑forming foam at any military installation if it involves greater than 10 gallons of concentrate or greater than 300 gallons of mixed foam. The notice must name the installation, give the date, state the amount, type and concentration, explain the cause, and include a short narrative. Within 60 days after that notice, the Deputy Assistant Secretary must send the same committees an action plan describing what was done to stop and clean up the spill and any coordination with local and State environmental protection agencies.
