Abandoned Uranium Mine Cleanup

This bill appropriates $50 million from the general fund to the New Mexico Department of Environment for fiscal years 2027 through 2029. The money will be used to assess and clean up abandoned or neglected contaminated sites across the state, including old uranium mining sites, where no one responsible for the pollution can be found to pay for the cleanup. Any money not spent by the end of fiscal year 2029 will return to the general fund.
