Contaminated Wells Relocation Act

This bill allows NASA to make an agreement to pay the town of Chincoteague, Virginia for costs related to moving drinking water wells that are currently on NASA property. The drinking water wells at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility have tested positive for certain chemicals called PFAS that came from firefighting foams used at the site starting in the 1970s. Any agreement must include plans for removing and relocating the wells from NASA property, describe where the wells will be moved to, and estimate the costs. The new wells must be placed on property controlled by the town of Chincoteague.
