Columbia River Clean-Up Act

This bill keeps the Columbia River Basin Restoration program going for more years. It updates federal law so the program is authorized through 2026–2030, instead of ending after earlier years. This helps continue clean-up and restoration work for water quality in the basin under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Communities and groups working on water clean-up and restoration in the Columbia River Basin.
• What changes: The program’s authorization dates are extended by replacing “2020 and 2021” with “2026 through 2030” in the law.
• When: The updated authorization covers the years 2026–2030.
