Grant appropriation for purchasing and installing a continuous emission monitoring system to measure lead emissions from a permitted facility

This bill authorizes funding for a grant program to help a permitted facility purchase and install equipment that continuously monitors lead emissions in the air. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will administer the program, prioritizing facilities that have frequently exceeded lead emission limits and are located near residential areas. The grant can cover up to 100 percent of the costs for buying and installing the monitoring system, with additional funds available for administrative expenses and technical support. This one-time appropriation is available until June 30, 2029, and the bill takes effect the day after it is enacted.
