Bill overview
This bill, titled the ‘On or Under Act,’ would require the federal government to purchase all existing mineral rights beneath federally owned sites on the National Priorities List (NPL), which are locations contaminated with hazardous substances. It also prohibits any drilling, excavation, or other disturbance of these subsurface mineral rights unless for the purpose of cleaning up the contamination. The goal is to ensure that cleanup efforts at these sites are not hindered by mineral extraction activities.
