First permit to clean up old mine waste issued for WA state under 2024 ‘Good Samaritan Act’

I'm really excited to share that the US Environmental Protection Agency has issued its first permit under the new 'Good Samaritan' law! This permit, granted to Trout Unlimited, will help clean up the Bodie Mine in Washington state, which has been polluting Toroda Creek with toxic metals. It's a fantastic step forward after years of advocacy, and it shows how collaboration can lead to real change. With this initiative, we can look forward to healthier rivers and a cleaner environment for everyone.
