Rob Portman announced this week.
“Cleaning up orphaned oil and gas wells is an important way to keep our communities ... clean and safe,” said a statement from Portman. White House infrastructure coordinator Mitch Landrieu told reporters that the money released this week would be used to clean up 277 high-priority polluting wells in California, Kentucky and Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.
