border-to-border touring route has caused at
least a 50 percent increase in maintenance
costs for roads under the claimant's
jurisdiction, based on a ten-year maintenance
average. The commissioner may accept an
alternative to the ten-year maintenance average
if a jurisdiction does not have sufficient
maintenance records. The commissioner has
discretion to accept an alternative based on a
good-faith effort by the jurisdiction. Any
alternative should include baseline
maintenance costs for at least two years before
the year the route begins operating. The
ten-year maintenance average or any
alternative must be calculated from the years
immediately preceding the year the route
begins operating. Before reimbursing a claim
under this paragraph, the commissioner must
consider whether the claim is consistent with
claims made by other entities that administer
roads on the touring route, in terms of the
amount requested for reimbursement and the
frequency of claims made.

ARTICLE 4

POLLUTION CONTROL

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 16A.151, subdivision 2, is amended to read:


Subd. 2.

Exceptions.

(a) If a state official litigates or settles a matter on behalf of specific
injured persons or entities, this section does not prohibit distribution of money to the specific
injured persons or entities on whose behalf the litigation or settlement efforts were initiated.
If money recovered on behalf of injured persons or entities cannot reasonably be distributed
to those persons or entities because they cannot readily be located or identified or because
the cost of distributing the money would outweigh the benefit to the persons or entities, the
money must be paid into the general fund.

(b) Money recovered on behalf of a fund in the state treasury other than the general fund
may be deposited in that fund.

(c) This section does not prohibit a state official from distributing money to a person or
entity other than the state in litigation or potential litigation in which the state is a defendant
or potential defendant.

(d) State agencies may accept funds as directed by a federal court for any restitution or
monetary penalty under United States Code, title 18, section 3663(a)(3), or United States
Code, title 18, section 3663A(a)(3). Funds received must be deposited in a special revenue
account and are appropriated to the commissioner of the agency for the purpose as directed
by the federal court.

(e) Tobacco settlement revenues as defined in section 16A.98, subdivision 1, paragraph
(t), may be deposited as provided in section 16A.98, subdivision 12.

(f) Any money received by the state resulting from a settlement agreement or an assurance
of discontinuance entered into by the attorney general of the state, or a court order in litigation
brought by the attorney general of the state, on behalf of the state or a state agency, against
one or more opioid manufacturers or opioid wholesale drug distributors related to alleged
violations of consumer fraud laws in the marketing, sale, or distribution of opioids in this
state or other alleged illegal actions that contributed to the excessive use of opioids, must
be deposited in a separate account in the state treasury and the commissioner shall notify
the chairs and ranking minority members of the Finance Committee in the senate and the
Ways and Means Committee in the house of representatives that an account has been created.
This paragraph does not apply to attorney fees and costs awarded to the state or the Attorney
General's Office, to contract attorneys hired by the state or Attorney General's Office, or to
other state agency attorneys. If the licensing fees under section 151.065, subdivision 1,
clause (16), and subdivision 3, clause (14), are reduced and the registration fee under section
151.066, subdivision 3, is repealed in accordance with section 256.043, subdivision 4, then
the commissioner shall transfer from the separate account created in this paragraph to the
opiate epidemic response fund under section 256.043 an amount that ensures that $20,940,000
each fiscal year is available for distribution in accordance with section 256.043, subdivisions
2
and 3.

new text begin (g) If the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency recovers $250,000 or more in litigation
or in settlement of a matter that could have resulted in litigation for a civil penalty from
violations of a permit issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, then 40 percent
of the money recovered must be distributed to the community health board, as defined in
section 145A.02, where the permitted facility is located. The commissioner of the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency must notify the applicable community health board within 30
days of a final court order in the litigation or the effective date of the settlement agreement
that the litigation has concluded or a settlement has been reached. The commissioner of the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency must collect the money and transfer it to the applicable
community health board. The community health board must meet directly with the residents
potentially affected by the pollution that was the subject of the litigation or settlement to
understand the residents' concerns and incorporate those concerns into a project that addresses
residents' health concerns resulting from their exposure to pollution. The project must be
implemented by the community health board and funded as directed in this paragraph. The
Department of Health shall assist the community health board with project development
and implementation, if requested by the community health board. The community health
board may use up to five percent of the funds transferred to it under this paragraph for the
reasonable direct costs it incurs to administer the provisions of this paragraph and for
assistance from the Department of Health under this paragraph. This paragraph directs the
transfer and use of money only and does not create a right of intervention in the litigation
or settlement of the enforcement action for any person or entity.

powers and duties:

(a) to administer and enforce all laws relating to the pollution of any of the waters of
the state;

(b) to investigate the extent, character, and effect of the pollution of the waters of this
state and to gather data and information necessary or desirable in the administration or
enforcement of pollution laws, and to make such classification of the waters of the state as
it may deem advisable;

(c) to establish and alter such reasonable pollution standards for any waters of the state
in relation to the public use to which they are or may be put as it shall deem necessary for
the purposes of this chapter and, with respect to the pollution of waters of the state, chapter
116;

(d) to encourage waste treatment, including advanced waste treatment, instead of stream
low-flow augmentation for dilution purposes to control and prevent pollution;

(e) to adopt, issue, reissue, modify, deny, deleted text beginordeleted text end revoke, new text beginreopen, new text endenter intonew text begin,new text end or enforce
reasonable orders, permits, variances, standards, rules, schedules of compliance, and
stipulation agreements, under such conditions as it may prescribe, in order to prevent, control
or abate water pollution, or for the installation or operation of disposal systems or parts
thereof, or for other equipment and facilities:

(1) requiring the discontinuance of the discharge of sewage, industrial waste or other
wastes into any waters of the state resulting in pollution in excess of the applicable pollution
standard established under this chapter;

(2) prohibiting or directing the abatement of any discharge of sewage, industrial waste,
or other wastes, into any waters of the state or the deposit thereof or the discharge into any
municipal disposal system where the same is likely to get into any waters of the state in
violation of this chapter and, with respect to the pollution of waters of the state, chapter
116, or standards or rules promulgated or permits issued pursuant thereto, and specifying
the schedule of compliance within which such prohibition or abatement must be
accomplished;

(3) prohibiting the storage of any liquid or solid substance or other pollutant in a manner
which does not reasonably assure proper retention against entry into any waters of the state
that would be likely to pollute any waters of the state;

(4) requiring the construction, installation, maintenance, and operation by any person
of any disposal system or any part thereof, or other equipment and facilities, or the
reconstruction, alteration, or enlargement of its existing disposal system or any part thereof,
or the adoption of other remedial measures to prevent, control or abate any discharge or
deposit of sewage, industrial waste or other wastes by any person;

(5) establishing, and from time to time revising, standards of performance for new sources
taking into consideration, among other things, classes, types, sizes, and categories of sources,
processes, pollution control technology, cost of achieving such effluent reduction, and any
nonwater quality environmental impact and energy requirements. Said standards of
performance for new sources shall encompass those standards for the control of the discharge
of pollutants which reflect the greatest degree of effluent reduction which the agency
determines to be achievable through application of the best available demonstrated control
technology, processes, operating methods, or other alternatives, including, where practicable,
a standard permitting no discharge of pollutants. New sources shall encompass buildings,
structures, facilities, or installations from which there is or may be the discharge of pollutants,
the construction of which is commenced after the publication by the agency of proposed
rules prescribing a standard of performance which will be applicable to such source.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law of this state, any point source the construction
of which is commenced after May 20, 1973, and which is so constructed as to meet all
applicable standards of performance for new sources shall, consistent with and subject to
the provisions of section 306(d) of the Amendments of 1972 to the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, not be subject to any more stringent standard of performance for new sources
during a ten-year period beginning on the date of completion of such construction or during
the period of depreciation or amortization of such facility for the purposes of section 167
or 169, or both, of the Federal Internal Revenue Code of 1954, whichever period ends first.
Construction shall encompass any placement, assembly, or installation of facilities or
equipment, including contractual obligations to purchase such facilities or equipment, at
the premises where such equipment will be used, including preparation work at such
premises;

(6) establishing and revising pretreatment standards to prevent or abate the discharge of
any pollutant into any publicly owned disposal system, which pollutant interferes with,
passes through, or otherwise is incompatible with such disposal system;

(7) requiring the owner or operator of any disposal system or any point source to establish
and maintain such records, make such reports, install, use, and maintain such monitoring
equipment or methods, including where appropriate biological monitoring methods, sample
such effluents in accordance with such methods, at such locations, at such intervals, and in
such a manner as the agency shall prescribe, and providing such other information as the
agency may reasonably require;

(8) notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, and with respect to the pollution
of waters of the state, chapter 116, requiring the achievement of more stringent limitations
than otherwise imposed by effluent limitations in order to meet any applicable water quality
standard by establishing new effluent limitations, based upon section 115.01, subdivision
13
, clause (b), including alternative effluent control strategies for any point source or group
of point sources to insure the integrity of water quality classifications, whenever the agency
determines that discharges of pollutants from such point source or sources, with the
application of effluent limitations required to comply with any standard of best available
technology, would interfere with the attainment or maintenance of the water quality
classification in a specific portion of the waters of the state. Prior to establishment of any
such effluent limitation, the agency shall hold a public hearing to determine the relationship
of the economic and social costs of achieving such limitation or limitations, including any
economic or social dislocation in the affected community or communities, to the social and
economic benefits to be obtained and to determine whether or not such effluent limitation
can be implemented with available technology or other alternative control strategies. If a
person affected by such limitation demonstrates at such hearing that, whether or not such
technology or other alternative control strategies are available, there is no reasonable
relationship between the economic and social costs and the benefits to be obtained, such
limitation shall not become effective and shall be adjusted as it applies to such person;

(9) modifying, in its discretion, any requirement or limitation based upon best available
technology with respect to any point source for which a permit application is filed after July
1, 1977, upon a showing by the owner or operator of such point source satisfactory to the
agency that such modified requirements will represent the maximum use of technology
within the economic capability of the owner or operator and will result in reasonable further
progress toward the elimination of the discharge of pollutants; deleted text beginand

by a certified fish health inspector. Testing must be conducted according to laboratory
methods of the Fish Health Blue Book or the Diagnostic Manual for Aquatic Animal
Diseases, published by the International Office of Epizootics (OIE).

(b) An aquatic farm propagating any species on the VHS susceptible list and having an
effluent discharge from the aquatic farm into public waters must test for VHS virus using
the guidelines of the Fish Health Blue Book or the Diagnostic Manual for Aquatic Animal
Diseases. The commissioner may, by written order published in the State Register, prescribe
alternative testing time periods and methods from those prescribed in the Fish Health Blue
Book or the OIE Diagnostic Manual if the commissioner determines that biosecurity measures
will not be compromised. These alternatives are not subject to the rulemaking provisions
of chapter 14 and section 14.386 does not apply. The commissioner must provide reasonable
notice to affected parties of any changes in testing requirements.

(c) Results of fish health inspections must be provided to the commissioner for all fish
that remain in the state. All data used to prepare and issue a fish health certificate must be
maintained for three years by the issuing fish health inspector, approved laboratory, or
accredited veterinarian.

(d) A health inspection fee must be charged based on each lot of fish sampled. The fee
by check or money order payable to the Department of Natural Resources must be prepaid
or paid at the time a bill or notice is received from the commissioner that the inspection and
processing of samples is completed.

(e) Upon receipt of payment and completion of inspection, the commissioner shall notify
the operator and issue a fish health certificate. The certification must be made according to
the Fish Health Blue Book or the Diagnostic Manual for Aquatic Animal Diseases by a
person certified as a fish health inspector.

(f) All aquatic life in transit or held at transfer stations within the state may be inspected
by the commissioner. This inspection may include the collection of stock for purposes of
pathological analysis. Sample size necessary for analysis will follow guidelines listed in
the Fish Health Blue Book or the Diagnostic Manual for Aquatic Animal Diseases.

(g) Salmonids, catfish, or species on the VHS susceptible list must have a fish health
inspection before being transported from a containment facility, unless the fish are being
transported directly to an outlet for processing or other food purposes or unless the
commissioner determines that an inspection is not needed. A fish health inspection conducted
for this purpose need only be done on the lot or lots of fish that will be transported. The
commissioner must conduct a fish health inspection requested for this purpose within five
working days of receiving written notice. Salmonids and catfish may be immediately
transported from a containment facility to another containment facility once a sample has
been obtained for a health inspection or once the five-day notice period has expired.

sections 92.122 and 127A.31. The commissioner shall deleted text beginbiannuallydeleted text endnew text begin bienniallynew text end report to the
Legislative Permanent School Fund Commission and the legislature on the management of
the school trust lands that shows how the commissioner has and will continue to achieve
the following goals:

(1) manage the school trust lands efficiently and in a manner that reflects the undivided
loyalty to the beneficiaries consistent with the commissioner's fiduciary duties;

(2) reduce the management expenditures of school trust lands and maximize the revenues
deposited in the permanent school trust fund;

(3) manage the sale, exchange, and commercial leasing of school trust lands, requiring
returns of not less than fair market value, to maximize the revenues deposited in the
permanent school trust fund and retain the value from the long-term appreciation of the
school trust lands;

(4) manage the school trust lands to maximize the long-term economic return for the
permanent school trust fund while maintaining sound natural resource conservation and
management principles;

(5) optimize school trust land revenues and maximize the value of the trust consistent
with balancing short-term and long-term interests, so that long-term benefits are not lost in
an effort to maximize short-term gains; and

(6) maintain the integrity of the trust and prevent the misapplication of its lands and its
revenues.

(b) When the commissioner finds an irresolvable conflict between maximizing the
long-term economic return and protecting natural resources and recreational values on
school trust lands, the commissioner shall give precedence to the long-term economic return
in managing school trust lands. By July 1, 2018, the permanent school fund must be
compensated for all school trust lands included under a designation or policy provision that
prohibits long-term economic return. The commissioner shall submit recommendations to
the appropriate legislative committees and divisions on methods of funding for the
compensation required under this paragraph, including recommendations for appropriations
from the general fund, nongeneral funds, and the state bond fund. Any uncompensated
designation or policy provision restrictions on the long-term economic return on school
trust lands remaining after July 1, 2018, must be compiled and submitted to the Legislative
Permanent School Fund Commission for review.

(c) By December 31, 2013, the report required under paragraph (a) must provide an
inventory and identification of all school trust lands that are included under a designation
or policy provision that prohibits long-term economic return. The report must include a plan
to compensate the permanent school fund through the purchase or exchange of the lands or
a plan to manage the school trust land to generate long-term economic return to the permanent
school fund. Subsequent reports under paragraph (a) must include a status report of the
commissioner's progress in maximizing the long-term economic return on lands identified
in the 2013 report.

(d) When management practices, policies, or designations by the commissioner diminish
or prohibit the long-term economic return on school trust land, the conflict must be resolved
as provided in section 92.122.

Sec. 90.

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 290C.01, is amended to read:


290C.01 PURPOSE.

It is the policy of this state to promote sustainable forest resource management on the
state's public and private lands. The state's private forests comprise approximately one-half
of the state forest land resources. These forests play a critical role in protecting water quality
and soil resources, and provide extensive wildlife habitat, new text beginnatural carbon sequestration,
new text end diverse recreational experiences, and significant forest products that support the state's
economy. Ad valorem property taxes represent a significant annual cost that can discourage
long-term forest management investments. In order to foster silviculture investments and
retain these forests for their economic and ecological benefits, this chapter, hereafter referred
to as the "Sustainable Forest Incentive Act," is enacted to encourage the state's private forest
landowners to make a long-term commitment to sustainable forest management.
