The National Mining Association (NMA) said it applauds the passage of the Good Samaritan Remediation of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act of 2024 out of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and urges the U.S. House of Representatives to take up this important bipartisan, bicameral legislation.
“With today’s passage of bipartisan Good Samaritan legislation out of Committee, we are one step closer to securing a key solution to tackle the long-overdue cleanup of legacy abandoned mine sites,” said Rich Nolan, NMA president and CEO.
“This bill, which passed the Senate unanimously, has been more than a decade in the making and will encourage the involvement of mining companies, conservation groups and local stakeholders in abandoned mine cleanup without fear of incurring additional legal liability. I strongly urge the House to pass this bipartisan bill and clear the way for responsible, much-needed land and water remediation efforts,” added Nolan.
The National Mining Association (NMA) is the only national trade organization that serves as the voice of the U.S. mining industry and the hundreds of thousands of American workers it employs before Congress, the federal agencies, the judiciary and the media, advocating for public policies that will help America fully and responsibly utilize its vast natural resources. We work to ensure America has secure and reliable supply chains, abundant and affordable energy, and the American-sourced materials necessary for U.S. manufacturing and economic security, all delivered under world-leading environmental, safety and labor standards. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the NMA has a membership of more than 250 companies and organizations involved in every aspect of mining, from producers and equipment makers to service providers.
