18.37 	Water Act in accordance with adopted
18.38 	total maximum daily loads (TMDLs),
18.39 	including implementation of approved
18.40 	clean water partnership diagnostic
18.41 	study work plans that will assist in
18.42 	restoration of such impaired waters.
18.43 	$2,324,000 the first year and
18.44 	$2,324,000 the second year must be
18.45 	distributed as grants to delegated
18.46 	counties to administer the county
18.47 	feedlot program.  Distribution of the
18.48 	funds must be conducted according to
18.49 	the following three-part formula:
18.50 	(1) Number of feedlots in the county:
18.51 	60 percent of the total appropriation
18.52 	must be distributed according to the
19.1 	number of feedlots that are required to
19.2 	be registered in the county.  Grants
19.3 	awarded under this clause must be
19.4 	matched with a combination of local
19.5 	cash and in-kind contributions.
19.6 	(2) Minimum program requirements:  25
19.7 	percent of the total appropriation must
19.8 	be distributed based on the county (i)
19.9 	conducting an annual number of
19.10 	inspections at feedlots that is equal
19.11 	to or greater than seven percent of the
19.12 	total number of registered feedlots
19.13 	that are required to be registered in
19.14 	the county; and (ii) meeting
19.15 	noninspection minimum program
19.16 	requirements as identified in the
19.17 	county feedlot workplan form.  Counties
19.18 	that do not meet the inspection
19.19 	requirement must not receive 50 percent
19.20 	of the eligible funding under this
19.21 	clause.  Counties must receive funding
19.22 	for noninspection requirements under
19.23 	this clause according to a scoring
19.24 	system checklist administered by the
19.25 	department.  The commissioner, in
19.26 	consultation with the Minnesota
19.27 	Association of County Feedlot Officers
19.28 	executive team, shall make a final
19.29 	decision regarding any appeal by a
19.30 	county regarding the terms and
19.31 	conditions of this clause.
19.32 	(3) Performance credits:  15 percent of
19.33 	the total appropriation must be
19.34 	distributed according to work that has
19.35 	been done by the counties during the
19.36 	fiscal year.  The amount must be
19.37 	determined by the number of performance
19.38 	credits a county accumulates during the
19.39 	year based on a performance credit
19.40 	matrix jointly agreed upon by the
19.41 	commissioner in consultation with the
19.42 	Minnesota Association of County Feedlot
19.43 	Officers executive team.  To receive an
19.44 	award under this clause the county must
19.45 	meet the requirements of clause (2)(i)
19.46 	and achieve 90 percent of the
19.47 	requirements according to clause
19.48 	(2)(ii) of the formula.  The rate of
19.49 	reimbursement per performance credit
19.50 	item must not exceed $200.
19.51 	Delegated counties are eligible for a
19.52 	minimum grant of $7,500.  To receive
19.53 	the full $7,500 amount a county must
19.54 	meet the requirements under clause (2)
19.55 	of the formula.  Nondelegated counties
19.56 	that apply for delegation shall receive
19.57 	a grant prorated according to the
19.58 	number of full quarters remaining in
19.59 	the program year from the date of
19.60 	commissioner approval of the
19.61 	delegation.  Funds for awards to any
19.62 	newly delegated counties must be made
19.63 	out of the appropriation reserved for
19.64 	clause (3) of the formula.  The
19.65 	commissioner, in consultation with the
19.66 	Minnesota Association of County Feedlot
19.67 	Officers executive team, may decide to
19.68 	use funds reserved for clause (3) of
20.1 	the formula in an amount not to exceed
20.2 	five percent of the total annual
20.3 	appropriation for initiatives to
20.4 	enhance existing delegated county
20.5 	feedlot programs, information and
20.6 	education, or technical assistance
20.7 	efforts to reduce feedlot-related
20.8 	pollution hazards.  Any funds remaining
20.9 	after distribution under clauses (1)
20.10 	and (2) of the formula must be
20.11 	transferred to clause (3) of the
20.12 	formula.  Any money remaining after the
20.13 	first year is available for the second

20.26 	assistance to local units of government
20.27 	through competitive grant programs for
20.28 	ISTS program development.  Any

20.30 	does not cancel but is available in the
