Bill overview
This bill, the Salton Sea Public Health and Environmental Protection Act of 2020, aims to address the environmental and public health challenges posed by the Salton Sea in California. It directs the Secretary of the Interior to establish a program for water quality improvements, dust mitigation, and habitat restoration, and creates a Salton Sea Council to coordinate federal and state efforts. The bill also mandates the federal government to manage an acreage equivalent to California’s dust control and habitat conservation efforts and requires regular reporting on the project’s progress and associated health risks.
