According to an article on Cleveland.com the Ohio’s Cuyahoga Valley National Park will clean up three abandoned oil and gas wells with its share of a $33 million Interior Department investment to plug, remediate and reclaim orphaned oil and gas wells and well sites on federally owned lands. The article states that the money would come from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law in November. The bill provides $21 billion to address legacy pollution, including funding to clean up brownfield and superfund sites, reclaim abandoned mine lands and plug orphan oil and gas wells.
