An Act relative to air monitoring stations

This bill requires at least one Air Monitoring Station within one mile of every working natural gas compressor station to collect air quality data and verify compliance with federal standards. The operating energy corporation must pay for the station's construction and maintenance through building permits paid to the state Department of Environmental Protection. The state Department of Environmental Protection will staff personnel to collect data weekly, with varying morning and evening collection times. This directly affects natural gas compressor station operators and the state's environmental monitoring system.
