No Radioactive Roads Act of 2024

HR 10304, the No Radioactive Roads Act of 2024, requires the EPA to revise regulations governing the use of phosphogypsum (a byproduct of fertilizer production containing uranium and radium) in road construction. It mandates that any future use must undergo case-by-case EPA approval, with strict limits: no project may increase an individual's lifetime cancer risk above 9.1 per 100,000, and applicants must detail exposure risks to workers, residents, and environmental pathways. The bill also requires public disclosure of all approval requests and detailed monitoring plans for water contamination and ecological impacts throughout a project's lifecycle. This directly affects road construction projects, workers, nearby communities, and environmental regulators, ensuring new uses meet the EPA’s established safety threshold.
