Contaminated Wells Relocation Act

This bill allows NASA to make an agreement to pay back the town of Chincoteague, Virginia, for the costs of moving drinking water wells that are currently on NASA property. The wells need to be moved because they have been contaminated with chemicals called PFAS, which came from firefighting foams used at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility since the 1970s. Any agreement must include details like where the wells will be moved, how much it will cost, and the new wells must be placed on land controlled by the town of Chincoteague.
