Legacy Mine Cleanup Act of 2025
The Legacy Mine Cleanup Act of 2025 establishes a new Office within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to coordinate cleanup efforts at abandoned hardrock mine sites, with special focus on sites on tribal lands like the Navajo Nation's uranium mines. It requires the EPA to annually identify priority mine sites for cleanup, develop interagency plans (including with tribal governments and agencies like Interior and Energy), and create a 10-year plan for Navajo Nation uranium mine sites by 2028. The bill mandates technical assistance for tribes and states, coordination on best practices for cleanup technologies, and regular reporting to Congress on progress. It does not create new regulatory authority but aims to improve existing cleanup coordination under current laws.
