Key Points

  • Congress directs the Energy Department to transfer the federal Moab site to Grand County, Utah, once cleanup is far enough along for a safe handoff.
  • The transfer would be free, but it could come with safety rules or land-use limits to protect people’s health, set by the Energy Department and nuclear regulators.
  • Even after the land transfer, the federal government would keep certain water rights and access it needs to continue any required groundwater cleanup and well work.
  • Grand County would be barred from selling or giving any of the transferred land to a private company or nonprofit group.
  • The Energy Department can add extra conditions to protect federal interests as part of the transfer deal.
