omnibus 1768 through 1800

1768

the Build Act

I found this interesting but not necessarily new. It talks about these abandoned sites that can be contaminated or not. privately owned, or publicly. and the requirements for rehabbing the properties.

It contains a section devoted to Alaskan properties. the original bill has some updates to the language. The bill was originally written in 1980.,

they cover redevelopment of petroleum fields and other properties. who can apply for grants, how many properties one entity can work with. leasing and purchasing are also covered as well as who is liable for cleanup costs, if anyone. interesting but not what we are looking for.

they are increasing the funding from 200,000 to 500,000 for each site to be re-mediated but the limit can be waived but not to exceed 650,000. it also discusses native territory as well.

1787

wildfire suppression funding act

basically just talking about funding and how they calculate it, based on previous years needs. the budget for 2020 is 2,250,000,000.

it increases, each yr, 100,000,000 until 2027.

1794

forest management

talking about forest restoration, putting in temporary roads and maintaining permanent road

1800

talk of firebreaks on public land.
