The Three Kids Mine Remediation and Reclamation Act (H.R. 697; Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 113–135 (text) (PDF)) is a U.S. public law that authorizes the sale of approximately 950 acres of federal land to the city of Henderson, Nevada.[1] The land used to be a mine and now needs significant environmental remediation and reclamation.[2] The bill was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress; a previous version (H.R. 2512) passed the House during the 112th United States Congress, but never received a vote in the Senate.[3] Cleanup efforts of the land are expected to cost between $300 million and $1.2 billion, depending on various estimates and cleanup targets.[3]
