Eastern Santa Clara River Basin Protection Act

The Eastern Santa Clara River Basin Protection Act (H.R. 3053) would authorize the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assist in the cleanup of perchlorate contamination in the groundwater of Santa Clarita, California. The bill directs federal resources toward the planning, design, and construction of projects intended to provide a long-term solution for removing this chemical from the local water supply. For residents, this legislation aims to protect public health and ensure a reliable source of clean drinking water by addressing pollution at its source within the river basin.
