This legislation authorizes the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to enter into an agreement with the Town of Chincoteague, Virginia. This agreement, which can last up to five years, would allow NASA to reimburse the town for expenses directly related to the removal and replacement of specific drinking water wells . The bill specifies that these wells are currently located on property administered by NASA and need to be relocated to alternative sites under the Town of Chincoteague's administrative control. The reimbursement covers costs associated with developing a plan for removal, establishing new wells, and includes expenses for property acquisition, engineering, design, permitting, and construction. NASA is required to submit any such agreement to the appropriate committees of Congress within 18 months of the Act's enactment.
