Legislation Information
Ohio River Restoration Program Act - Dec. 17, 2024
Once passed, this historic bill will establish an Ohio River National Program Office within the United States Environmental Protection Agency to convene states, local governments, interstate compact agencies, tribal nations, and non-governmental organizations to work in conjunction to secure federal funding opportunities and design an action plan to carry out pollution prevention, workforce development, community resiliency, habitat restoration, and other clean water objectives for the region. Although this is the first of likely several iterations, the release of the Ohio River Restoration Program Act is an immeasurably important milestone for the Ohio River Basin and its communities.
