Requires advanced planning for dredging activities in areas with known PFAS contamination.

The Clean Ports for Commerce Act mandates that the Corps of Engineers, through the Secretary of the Army, identify disposal sites and mitigation strategies for dredging activities in areas where perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are present. The Act also requires the Secretary to consider any potential delays related to PFAS contamination before initiating dredging. This ensures that the effects on water quality and public health are addressed.
