H.R. 4675, the Columbia River Clean-Up Act, extends federal funding for the Columbia River Basin Restoration program by updating its authorization period. The bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to allow the program to continue operating through 2030, replacing the previous authorization that ended in 2021. This legislation affects the Columbia River region—primarily Oregon and Washington—and the environmental and fishing communities that depend on the river's health. The bill provides continued federal support for restoration efforts aimed at cleaning up the river and improving water quality, though the specific funding amount is not detailed in the text provided. By reauthorizing this program, Congress is signaling its commitment to ongoing Columbia River cleanup and restoration activities over the next several years.
