Bill Summary
Relative to air monitoring stations
AI Summary
This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to install and maintain an air quality monitoring station on the Fore River Bridge in Weymouth, Massachusetts. The station will measure various air pollutants, including hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, fine particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds, as well as meteorological data. The department must maintain the station for at least 20 years or as long as a natural gas compressor station operates within 1 mile, whichever is greater, and make the data publicly available. The bill also requires any applicant seeking to construct or operate a natural gas compressor station to provide information on existing air quality and the facility's potential emissions, which the department must use to determine if the facility meets air pollution requirements.
