Presidential Determination Concerning the Department of the Air Force's Rehabilitation and Revitalization of the Joint Base Andrews Golf Course

Memorandum for the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency [and] the Secretary of the Air Force

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 313 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1323), I determine that it is in the paramount interest of the United States to exempt the Department of the Air Force's rehabilitation and revitalization of the golf course at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, from Federal, State, interstate, and local requirements, administrative authority, and process and sanctions respecting the control and abatement of water pollution.

Therefore, pursuant to subsection (a) of section 313 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1323(a)), I hereby exempt each and every effluent source associated with the Department of the Air Force's rehabilitation and revitalization of the golf course at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, from Federal, State, interstate, and local requirements, administrative authority, and process and sanctions respecting the control and abatement of water pollution; except that no exemption is hereby granted from the requirements of 33 U.S.C. 1316 and 1317.

The exemption granted by this memorandum shall be for the 1-year period beginning June 26, 2026, and ending June 26, 2027.

Nothing herein is intended to: (a) imply that in the absence of such a Presidential exemption, the Clean Water Act or any other provision of law would require the Department of the Air Force to obtain permits pertaining to the control and abatement of water pollution for the exempted operations; or (b) limit the applicability or enforcement of any other requirement of law applicable to the Department of the Air Force's revitalization of the golf course at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland.

The Secretary of the Air Force is authorized and directed to publish this determination in the Federal Register.
