S 1321 requires the federal government to transfer the former Moab uranium mill site to Grand County, Utah, free of cost once cleanup is safe.
45-second read · 4 questions answered below
The bill amends existing law to require that once the Department of Energy determines cleanup of the former Moab uranium mill site is safe enough, the land must be transferred to Grand County, Utah, at no cost. It sets conditions: the DOE keeps water rights needed for ongoing groundwater monitoring or cleanup, can impose land-use restrictions for public health and safety, and bars the county from selling or transferring the land to private companies or nonprofits.
Residents of Grand County, Utah, and the surrounding area, along with state and local land-use planners and environmental regulators overseeing the site.
The bill establishes a clear legal requirement for local public ownership of a formerly contaminated federal site, which could shape how similar contaminated sites are handled elsewhere in the future.
