## Summary

**Local transfer of the Moab UMTRA site and key water infrastructure to Grand County** would happen only after the Department of Energy determines cleanup is complete enough for land conveyance. The bill ties free conveyance of the Moab site, the Green River pipeline, pump stations, and the Crescent Junction holding pond to meeting remediation milestones while preserving federal cleanup rights and conditions. - Grand County officials would receive the Moab site at no cost but could not transfer it to private or nonprofit entities. This gives the county control of the land while limiting future ownership changes. - The Grand County Water Conservancy District would receive the Green River pipeline, associated pump stations, diesel pumps, easements, and the Crescent Junction holding pond at no cost. The infrastructure must be used to address water deficits in communities the District serves. - The federal government would keep water rights and access needed to finish groundwater remediation and may impose additional terms to protect U.S. interests. Conveyances are conditioned on achieving remedial action completion status and subject to regulatory protections under the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act.
