SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Safeguarding Treatment for the Restoration of Ecosystems from Abandoned Mines Act” or the “STREAM Act”.

(1) by striking “Grants under” and inserting the following:

“(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in paragraph (2), grants under”; and

“(2) ACID MINE DRAINAGE ABATEMENT AND TREATMENT.—

“(A) IN GENERAL.—Not more than 30 percent of the total amount of a grant made annually under subsection (b)(1) may be retained by the recipient of the grant, if those amounts are deposited into an acid mine drainage abatement and treatment fund established under State law, from which amounts (together with all interest earned on the amounts) are expended by the State for the abatement of the causes and the treatment of the effects of acid mine drainage resulting from coal mining practices, including for the costs of building, operating, maintaining, and rehabilitating acid mine drainage treatment systems.

“(B) REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.—Each recipient of a grant under subsection (b)(1) that deposits grant amounts into an acid mine drainage abatement and treatment fund under subparagraph (A) shall—

“(i) offer amendments to the inventory maintained under section 403(c) of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1233(c)) to reflect the use of the amounts for acid mine drainage abatement and treatment; and

“(ii) include in the annual grant report of the recipient information on the status and balance of amounts in the acid mine drainage abatement and treatment fund.
