This presidential memorandum exempts federal firefighting activities, including the aerial use of fire retardants, from federal, state, and local water pollution control requirements for one year. The exemption applies to the U.S. Forest Service, Department of the Interior, and their contractors, and is intended to facilitate wildfire suppression without the need for water pollution permits. However, it does not exempt activities from Clean Water Act sections 1316 and 1317, which address water quality standards and toxic pollutants.
