Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a federal program to clean up and restore the Ohio River, which flows through or borders six states and serves millions of people. The program would likely fund projects to remove pollution, improve water quality, protect wildlife habitats, and address environmental damage from industrial activity and urban development. Communities that depend on the river for drinking water, fishing, and recreation would be the primary beneficiaries of these restoration efforts.
