EMRTAI Authorization Act Passes the U.S. House of Representatives

This past week, the U.S. House took a critical step toward ending our dependence on foreign adversaries by passing my legislation to recover critical minerals from contaminated sites and waste streams. The "Environmental Monitoring and Remediation Technology Assessment Initiative (EMRTAI) Authorization Act", co-led by Congressman Greg Landsman (OH-01), would direct the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to broaden and authorize the EMRTAI program to identify, evaluate, and support the recovery of critical minerals from contaminated land and waste streams, strengthening domestic critical mineral supply chains while advancing cleanup efforts.

Strengthening America’s critical mineral supply chain is essential to our economic and national security. I’m proud to lead this bipartisan effort to encourage innovation and support domestic critical minerals development while advancing technologies that clean up contaminated sites.
