This bill tells the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the federal government's independent research agency, to count homes located within one mile of federally designated Superfund sites. The count must separately identify how many of those homes are public housing units. The GAO must deliver a written report to Congress within six months of the bill becoming law.
This affects people who live near Superfund sites, especially residents of public housing close to those contaminated areas. Lawmakers would receive the resulting data.
Congress would have factual numbers about how many people may be living near seriously contaminated sites. That information could inform future decisions about those areas.
