Congressman Scott Tipton (CO-03) cosponsored both pieces of legislation. The National Landslide Preparedness Act would direct the U.S. Geological Survey to establish a National Landslide Hazards Reduction Program to identify and reduce landslide risks. In his statement before the committee, Tipton highlighted the importance of this legislation to Colorado, recognizing the three Coloradans who lost their lives in a massive landslide near Grand Junction in 2014. The men had been investigating a previous, smaller landslide when the fatal landslide occurred. Of this legislation, Tipton said, “The 3D Elevation program created by the National Landslide Preparedness Act will help state and local officials evaluate the effects of landslides before putting boots on the ground, as well as develop safe and effective search and rescue strategies.” The Endangered Fish Recovery Programs Extension Act of 2017 would extend funding for the Upper Colorado and San Juan fish recovery programs through fiscal year 2023. Under current law, the program is set to expire in 2019. “The Upper Colorado and San Juan fish recovery programs showcase the ability of federal, state and local partners to carry out effective conservation,” Tipton said. “This legislation will ensure the recovery programs continue to protect four primary endangered species in the Upper Colorado River Basin.” Of the bills’ passage, Tipton said, “Both pieces of legislation are wins for Colorado, and I look forward to seeing them considered by the full House soon.” Tipton’s statement can be viewed here.
