Sponsor: Rep. Hurd, Jeff (R-CO)Introduced Feb 13, 2025
✆
In plain English
Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-CO) sponsors this bill to compensate homeowners, livestock grazers, farmers, and companies harmed by the Gold King Mine spill in August 2015 in southwest Colorado. Eligible claimants must have filed an administrative claim with the EPA by August 2017 that was denied or only partially compensated, and cannot have already settled with the federal government for more than $2,500. Covered damages include lost business income, costs of relocating livestock and providing alternative water, and crop losses or reduced yields. The bill appropriates federal funds to pay these compensation awards.
