Environmental and natural resources trust fund appropriation for a demonstration project to treat landfill leachate for PFAS, chloride, and other contaminants

This bill allocates $5.5 million from the state's environment and natural resources trust fund to support a one-time demonstration project in Lyon County. The funds will be used by the Pollution Control Agency to help the county construct a system that treats wastewater from the regional landfill, specifically targeting harmful substances like PFAS, chloride, and other contaminants. The primary goal of this project is to protect local groundwater from pollution. This legislation directly affects Lyon County and the state's environmental trust fund by authorizing a specific grant for this cleanup initiative.
