Bill > S5300

This bill, the Contaminated Wells Relocation Act, authorizes the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to reimburse the Town of Chincoteague, Virginia, for costs directly associated with the removal and replacement of certain drinking water wells situated on property administered by NASA. The bill allows NASA to enter into an agreement with the town for up to five years to cover the costs of developing a plan for well removal, establishing alternative drinking water wells on property under the town's control, and relocating the three remaining wells. The bill requires NASA to submit any such agreement to the appropriate congressional committees within 18 months of the bill's enactment.
