What This Bill Does

This bill allows the Department of Energy (DOE) to convey the Moab site to Grand County, Utah, at no cost when it finishes cleaning up uranium mill tailings (i.e., radioactive waste) at the site. (The Moab site is a uranium milling site located approximately three miles northwest of Moab, Utah.)

DOE must retain certain water rights that are necessary to carry out its responsibilities, such as maintaining access to wells and the associated surface footprint of the wells if the remediation of groundwater is ongoing at the time of the conveyance.

The conveyance of the site must include a provision that prohibits Grand County from reconveying to a private entity or nonprofit organization any portion of the land conveyed to the county.
