Columbia River Clean-Up Act of 2025

The Columbia River Clean-Up Act of 2025 (S. 2415) would amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize the Columbia River Basin Restoration program. The sole change in the text provided is to extend the authorization period for the program by adjusting the years in which funding/authorization applies—from the prior window of 2020–2021 to a new window of 2026–2030. In other words, the bill keeps federal support for restoration activities in the Columbia River Basin going, but pushes the eligible/authorized period forward by several years. The bill’s short title is the Columbia River Clean-Up Act of 2025.
