Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Mr. Lawler, asks a government watchdog group to find out exactly how many homes are located within one mile of "Superfund" sites. These are areas the government has identified as being contaminated with hazardous waste that needs a long-term cleanup.
  • The study will pay special attention to public housing units. This is important because people living in government-assisted housing often have fewer choices about where they live and may be more likely to live near industrial pollution.
  • If passed, the government would have six months to complete the report and share it with Congress. While the bill doesn't fix the pollution itself, it provides the data needed to help leaders decide where to focus future health and environmental protection efforts.
