Today, Governor Roy Cooper joined a bipartisan group of 15 governors in calling on Congress to do more to protect drinking water in and around military bases, specifically by including water quality measures in the current year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Specifically, the governors urged the legislators to include provisions to protect water sources from contamination by per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
