The purpose of the CLEANER Act of 2025 is to enhance the regulation of waste produced during the exploration, development, or production of crude oil, natural gas, and geothermal energy. This legislation aims to close existing gaps in waste management regulations, ensuring that harmful substances are properly identified and managed to protect human health and the environment. Key provisions of the Act require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take specific actions within one year of the law's enactment.
