Authorize the Department of Environmental Protection to deposit funds granted pursuant to federal programs

Summary

The bill lets West Virginia’s Department of Environmental Protection deposit money received from federal programs—such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Safeguarding Treatment for the Restoration of Ecosystems from Abandoned Mines Act—into the state’s Acid Mine Drainage Abatement and Treatment Fund and the Reclamation and Restoration Fund. It also permits any other federal abandoned‑mine reclamation money to be deposited in any state‑established reclamation fund, expanding how the state can manage and spend federal cleanup money.
