REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTINUOUS MONITORING AND SAMPLING TECHNOLOGIES IN WASTE COMBUSTION FACILITIES AND MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILLS.

This Senate Resolution asks the state's Department of Health and Chief Energy Officer to study how to use advanced technology for continuous air quality monitoring at waste incineration facilities and landfills. The bill highlights that current monitoring methods are often outdated or infrequent, potentially missing significant pollution events that affect public health. It specifically calls for a feasibility study to determine if modern systems can provide more accurate and real-time data on harmful emissions that are currently under-monitored. The resolution does not mandate immediate changes but seeks to gather information on the practicality of upgrading monitoring capabilities across the state.
