The Military PFAS Transparency Act requires the Department of Defense to provide Congress with detailed annual reports on how it is funding and managing cleanup efforts for PFAS (a class of toxic chemicals) at military installations. These reports must include information about money spent at each site, the current status of cleanup work, project timelines, reasons for any delays longer than 12 months, and barriers preventing progress. Additionally, the Secretary of Defense must develop a remediation acceleration strategy within six months that prioritizes which installations need cleanup first based on health and environmental risks, identifies how to speed up the process, and sets performance benchmarks for the military departments. Within one year, the Pentagon must also create a publicly accessible online dashboard that military communities and the general public can use to track funding, cleanup progress, completion timelines, and contact information for base-specific questions—with updates at least twice per year.
