N.C. Gen. Stat. § 58-82B-1
Current through Session Law 2024-58
The General Assembly finds that certain firefighting foams used to fight Class B fires, often referred to as Aqueous Film-Forming Foams (AFFF), are critical for fire suppression and public safety. However, because many AFFF could contain per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, certain foams may require additional research, oversight, and management. The General Assembly further finds that accurate and comprehensive reporting of the use of AFFF by fire departments throughout the State is essential in order to appropriately manage the potential impacts of AFFF on the environment and public health.
