The Good Samaritan Remediation of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act is the first step in removing burdensome legal liabilities for groups and state governments that volunteer to clean up abandoned mines and improve water quality.

The pilot program allows nonprofits, state agencies and others to cleanup abandoned mine sites without the burdensome level of liability.

Cleaning up all the leaking mines in the U.S. could cost upward of $50 billion , Trout Unlimited estimates.
