Key points
The Moab site will be transferred to Grand County, Utah, at no cost, once cleanup efforts are complete.
The federal government will retain water rights necessary for ongoing remediation activities, if applicable.
Grand County will be prohibited from reselling any portion of the transferred land to private entities or non-profit organizations.
The transfer aims to protect human health and safety, with all necessary use restrictions maintained.
