Jim,
After further discussions with Mary, we're moving to draft a naval advisory that's geared towards removal and proper disposal of the 3M PFOS AFFF that's still in cans and drums. We can direct the removal for Navy ships, and make a recommendation to the other services that they take similar action.
In looking for some references that would support our position, I came across the attached OSD risk alert that appears to date to 2011. I'm thinking of referencing the attached in the advisory, as it does explain the environmental concerns, however it does state that PFOS AFFF can still be used. Are you aware of any additional OSD or Navy directives that may have been issued that would be a better reference?
V/r,
