The Department of Defense (DoD) conducts cleanup under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Defense
Environmental Restoration Program (DERP). Their goal is protection of human health and the
environment in a risk-based, fiscally sound manner. This memorandum provides clarifying
technical guidance on the investigation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) based on
updated U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) information. This guidance is applicable
to investigating these chemicals at Environmental Restoration Account-funded, Base
Realignment and Closure Account-funded, and federal Air and Army Guard Operation and
Maintenance account-funded sites.
