Funding from environment and natural resources trust fund provided for a demonstration project to treat landfill leachate for PFAS, chloride, and other contaminants; and money appropriated.

This bill allocates $5.5 million from Minnesota's environment and natural resources trust fund to support a demonstration project at the Lyon County Regional Landfill. The funds are designated for the Pollution Control Agency to grant money to Lyon County for constructing a system that treats landfill leachate to remove PFAS, chloride, and other contaminants. The primary goal of this one-time appropriation is to protect groundwater from potential contamination. The legislation does not authorize any new taxes or change existing laws, but rather directs specific existing funds toward this environmental initiative.
