Stormwater runoff structural practices implemented relating to permeable synthetic turf.

HF 713 adds permeable synthetic turf as an approved stormwater management practice in Minnesota, equivalent to permeable pavement. The bill requires that such turf must meet specific standards: a minimum permeability rate of 25 inches per hour, pass flammability tests, contain no PFAS chemicals, avoid rubber infill in residential projects, and be manufactured to replicate natural turf with UV stabilization. This affects developers, contractors, and local governments implementing stormwater control solutions, particularly for commercial or municipal projects using permeable synthetic turf.
