Bill > HF3314

This bill appropriates $2 million from state bond proceeds to the Pollution Control Agency to provide a grant to Lake Superior College for addressing PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination at its Emergency Response Training Center. The funding is specifically intended to support design, engineering, and construction of improvements for abatement, remediation, mitigation, and treatment of PFAS contamination. The bill authorizes the construction of wells, equipment, and facilities, as well as improvements to existing infrastructure for site remediation and water treatment. To fund this project, the commissioner of management and budget is directed to sell and issue state bonds up to $2 million, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals known for their persistence in the environment and potential health risks, making this bill part of broader efforts to address environmental contamination. The bill will take effect the day after final enactment.
