Minnesota SF1406 adds the installation of permeable synthetic turf to best management practices for controlling stormwater runoff. The commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency must include using permeable synthetic turf that meets specific requirements in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. These requirements include being fully permeable, passing a flammability test, containing no perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, not being installed in residential projects with rubber infill, and being manufactured to replicate natural turf for outdoor use.
