Description We released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) about the collection and disposal of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). As directed by the Washington State Legislature, we’re developing a program to assist municipal fire departments with safer disposal of unused AFFF. Learn about the alternatives at the information session on January 17, 2024, and the public hearing on January 31, 2024.
