Concerning the safe management of radioactive waste and cleanup of hazardous substance releases into the environment.

Summary

The bill orders the state to investigate and remediate the leaking low‑level radioactive waste landfill that threatens tribal lands and the Columbia River. It obligates waste generators and the landfill operator to cover all cleanup costs, and bars new waste disposal at the site until it is fully fixed. Future disposal facilities must have proper liners and monitoring, with costs borne by users, not taxpayers.
