HR7283 opens the innovation door by making up to 30% of all AML funds available for such acid mine drainage projects. If states want to go that way, there is no mandate here. It's their choice, and Nothing in current law or the STREAM act is mandatory and nothing in the bill raises or authorizes any additional federal spending for abandoned mine land or acid mine drainage work. What it gives states is the important option of restoring waterways and maintaining those restoration projects for many years to come. (03:48–04:04)
