Ohio will receive $46 million to clean up legacy pollution in regions decimated by decades of coal mining.
The Funds will be used to close dangerous mine shafts, reclaim unstable slopes and improve water quality by treating acid mine drainage.
The money is part of $725 million in the Abandoned Mine Land funding package the Biden Administration is providing to more than two dozen states. The funding is the third in a series of federal investments in abandoned mine land funding allowed through the bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed by Congress in 2021.
"The Biden administration has called for these remediation jobs to be good-quality union jobs," he said."We've started to see some of the first union contracts awarded in states like Kentucky and Ohio, and that's extremely encouraging."
