Help advance bills on clean water, fighting petroleum pollution, and fixing up feedlots

Please contact your state Representative and Senator to encourage them to support these three bills now working their way past the committee process:

  • HF4377 invests 47 million dollars in clean water projects to help protect Minnesota’s lakes, rivers, streams and groundwater. This bill will address lead in water service lines, and other contaminants. More information on this initiatives here.
  • HF4190 will improve the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Petroleum Remediation Program, which oversees the cleanup of leaks and spills from petroleum tanks.
  • HF3947 ensures that feedlots are cleaned up after they are closed. People who apply for a feedlot permit would need to demonstrate that they have the resources to remove all manure and manure-contaminated soil from the feedlot and to plant crops that will help the land recover. This will help make sure these sites are cleaned up and taxpayers aren’t stuck paying the bill.
