Community Reclamation Partnerships Act

Bill 115 HR 2937, also known as the Community Reclamation Partnerships Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to establish a program that would facilitate partnerships between local communities and the federal government to reclaim and revitalize abandoned mine lands.

The bill outlines the process for creating these partnerships, which would involve collaboration between federal agencies, state governments, tribal governments, and local community organizations. The partnerships would work together to identify and prioritize abandoned mine lands that are in need of reclamation, develop reclamation plans, and secure funding for these projects.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for monitoring and evaluating the progress of reclamation projects, as well as reporting requirements to ensure transparency and accountability. It also emphasizes the importance of engaging local communities in the decision-making process and ensuring that reclamation efforts benefit the surrounding areas. Overall, the Community Reclamation Partnerships Act aims to address the environmental and public health risks posed by abandoned mine lands, while also promoting economic development and job creation in communities affected by mining activities.
