What it does
The bill would amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to exempt certain aerial fire suppression product discharges from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. Specifically, it clarifies that no permit is needed for discharges resulting from the aerial application of fire control and suppression products listed on the Forest Service’s Qualified Products List. The change applies to discharges from such aerial applications and updates related cross-references in the law to reflect the revised structure of Section 402(l)(3). The bill affects wildfire suppression operations involving aerial delivery of approved firefighting products.
