Appropriation amendment for a Litchfield wastewater industrial pretreatment facility

SF 1299 appropriates $10 million from the general fund for the First District Association, a Litchfield dairy cooperative, to design and build a new wastewater treatment facility. The facility will process up to 1.75 million gallons daily of high-strength wastewater from dairy operations, including biosolids handling and renewable gas production. This bill amends prior funding to add the new appropriation specifically for this project in Litchfield, directly supporting the cooperative's infrastructure needs.
