The Act reauthorizes funding for a national partnership to produce advanced digital geologic maps and three-dimensional models. The Committee reviewed and debated several aspects of the bill that Rep. Lamborn introduced. The mapping in consideration contributes to responsible land management nationwide, mitigate natural hazards, foster economic growth, and provide tools to educate the next generation of mappers. Increased quality of life and economic vitality depend on these measures. Congressman Lamborn (CO-05) issued the following statement: “This legislation ensures continued collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey, state surveys, and universities to ensure responsible use natural resources and to mitigate the impact of geologic hazards,” said Rep. Doug Lamborn. “Forty-nine states and Puerto Rico have participated to date, resulting in 8,500 new maps. Those of us on the Natural Resources Committee are working to produce the most efficient bill possible. We realize the importance this carries for many land, water, and mineral resources across the nation. The program data routinely impacts decisions protecting ground water, locating new municipal wells, identifying potential mineral resources, and protecting homeowners from geologic hazards in my home state of Colorado. Renewing the Act will solve a broad spectrum of land-use concerns.” The program in Colorado is credited for production of an advanced geologic map and companion report that consolidated years of research to showcase recreational and mining history. It opened up opportunities for efficiency in a major economic region from Leadville to Salida. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
