Bill overview
The Appalachian Communities Health Equity Act of 2025 (ACHE Act) places a temporary halt on new federal permits and renewals for mountaintop removal coal mining until a comprehensive health study can be conducted. This study, led by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, will investigate potential health impacts associated with this mining method in communities near these projects. The bill also mandates increased monitoring of pollution from existing mountaintop removal operations and requires a one-time fee from companies currently involved in this type of mining to cover the costs of the study and monitoring.
