78.9 	Sec. 29. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 16B.32, is amended by adding a subdivision 
78.10 	to read:
78.11 		Subd. 1a.Onsite energy generation from renewable sources. A state agency 
78.12 	that prepares a predesign for a new building must consider meeting at least two percent 
78.13 	of the energy needs of the building from renewable sources located on the building site. 
78.14 	For purposes of this subdivision, "renewable sources" are limited to wind and the sun. 
78.15 	The predesign must include an explicit cost and price analysis of complying with the 
78.16 	two-percent requirement compared with the present and future costs of energy supplied 
78.17 	by a public utility from a location away from the building site and the present and future 
78.18 	costs of controlling carbon emissions. If the analysis concludes that the building should 
78.19 	not meet at least two-percent of its energy needs from renewable sources located on the 
78.20 	building site, the analysis must provide explicit reasons why not. The building may not 
78.21 	receive further state appropriations for design or construction unless at least two percent of 
78.22 	its energy needs are designed to be met from renewable sources, unless the commissioner 
78.23 	finds that the reasons given by the agency for not meeting the two-percent requirement 
78.24 	were supported by evidence in the record.

78.25 	Sec. 30. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 16B.325, is amended to read:
78.26 	16B.325 SUSTAINABLE BUILDING GUIDELINES.
78.27 		Subdivision 1.Development of sustainable building guidelines. The Department 
78.28 	of Administration and the Department of Commerce, with the assistance of other agencies, 
78.29 	shall develop sustainable building design guidelines for all new state buildings by January 
78.30 	15, 2003, and for all major renovations of state buildings by February 1, 2009. The 
78.31 	primary objectives of these guidelines are to ensure that all new state buildings, and 
78.32 	major renovations of state buildings, initially exceed existing the state energy code, as 
78.33 	established in Minnesota Rules, chapter 7676, by at least 30 percent. 
79.1 		Subd. 2.Lowest possible cost; energy conservation. The guidelines must focus 
79.2 	on achieving the lowest possible lifetime cost for new buildings and major renovations,
79.3 	and allow for changes in the guidelines that encourage continual energy conservation 
79.4 	improvements in new buildings and major renovations.  The guidelines shall define 
79.5 	"major renovations" for purposes of this section. The definition may not allow "major 
79.6 	renovations" to encompass less than 10,000 square feet or to encompass less than the 
79.7 	complete replacement of the mechanical, ventilation, or cooling system of the building or 
79.8 	a section of the building. The design guidelines must establish sustainability guidelines 
79.9 	that include air quality and lighting standards and that create and maintain a healthy 
79.10 	environment and facilitate productivity improvements; specify ways to reduce material 
79.11 	costs; and must consider the long-term operating costs of the building, including the use of 
79.12 	renewable energy sources and distributed electric energy generation that uses a renewable 
79.13 	source or natural gas or a fuel that is as clean or cleaner than natural gas. 
79.14 		Subd. 3.Development of guidelines; applicability. In developing the guidelines, 
79.15 	the departments shall use an open process, including providing the opportunity for public 
79.16 	comment. The guidelines established under this section are mandatory for all new 
79.17 	buildings receiving funding from the bond proceeds fund after January 1, 2004, and for all 
79.18 	major renovations receiving funding from the bond proceeds fund after January 1, 2009.

79.19 	Sec. 31. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 16B.335, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
79.20 		Subd. 2.Other projects. All other capital projects for which a specific appropriation 
79.21 	is made must not proceed until the recipient undertaking the project has notified the chair 
79.22 	of the senate Finance Committee, the chair of the house Capital Investment Committee, 
79.23 	and the chair of the house Ways and Means Committee that the work is ready to begin. 
79.24 	Notice is not required for capital projects needed to comply with the Americans with 
79.25 	Disabilities Act, for asset preservation projects to which section 16A.307 applies, or 
79.26 	for projects funded by an agency's operating budget or by a capital asset preservation 
79.27 	and replacement account under section 16A.632, or a higher education capital asset 
79.28 	preservation and renewal replacement account under section 135A.046. 

79.29 	Sec. 32. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 103D.335, subdivision 17, is amended to 
79.30 	read:
79.31 		Subd. 17.Borrowing funds. The managers may borrow funds from an agency of 
79.32 	the federal government, a state agency, a county where the watershed district is located 
79.33 	in whole or in part, or a financial institution authorized under chapter 47 to do business 
79.34 	in this state. A county board may lend the amount requested by a watershed district. A 
80.1 	watershed district may not have more than a total of $200,000 $600,000 in loans from 
80.2 	counties and financial institutions under this subdivision outstanding at any time.

80.3 	Sec. 33. Minnesota Statutes 2007 Supplement, section 103G.222, subdivision 1, 
80.4 	is amended to read:
80.5 		Subdivision 1.Requirements. (a) Wetlands must not be drained or filled, wholly 
80.6 	or partially, unless replaced by restoring or creating wetland areas of at least equal 
80.7 	public value under a replacement plan approved as provided in section 103G.2242, a 
80.8 	replacement plan under a local governmental unit's comprehensive wetland protection 
80.9 	and management plan approved by the board under section 103G.2243, or, if a permit to 
80.10 	mine is required under section 93.481, under a mining reclamation plan approved by the 
80.11 	commissioner under the permit to mine. Mining reclamation plans shall apply the same 
80.12 	principles and standards for replacing wetlands by restoration or creation of wetland areas 
80.13 	that are applicable to mitigation plans approved as provided in section 103G.2242. Public 
80.14 	value must be determined in accordance with section 103B.3355 or a comprehensive 
80.15 	wetland protection and management plan established under section 103G.2243. Sections 
80.16 	103G.221 to 103G.2372 also apply to excavation in permanently and semipermanently 
80.17 	flooded areas of types 3, 4, and 5 wetlands. 
80.18 	(b) Replacement must be guided by the following principles in descending order 
80.19 	of priority:
80.20 	(1) avoiding the direct or indirect impact of the activity that may destroy or diminish 
80.21 	the wetland;
80.22 	(2) minimizing the impact by limiting the degree or magnitude of the wetland 
80.23 	activity and its implementation;
80.24 	(3) rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected 
80.25 	wetland environment;
80.26 	(4) reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance 
80.27 	operations during the life of the activity;
80.28 	(5) compensating for the impact by restoring a wetland; and
80.29 	(6) compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute wetland 
80.30 	resources or environments.
80.31 	For a project involving the draining or filling of wetlands in an amount not exceeding 
80.32 	10,000 square feet more than the applicable amount in section 103G.2241, subdivision 9, 
80.33 	paragraph (a), the local government unit may make an on-site sequencing determination 
80.34 	without a written alternatives analysis from the applicant. 
81.1 	(c) If a wetland is located in a cultivated field, then replacement must be 
81.2 	accomplished through restoration only without regard to the priority order in paragraph 
81.3 	(b), provided that a deed restriction is placed on the altered wetland prohibiting 
81.4 	nonagricultural use for at least ten years.
81.5 	(d) If a wetland is drained under section 103G.2241, subdivision 2, paragraphs 
81.6 	(b) and (e), the local government unit may require a deed restriction that prohibits 
81.7 	nonagricultural use for at least ten years unless the drained wetland is replaced as provided 
81.8 	under this section. The local government unit may require the deed restriction if it 
81.9 	determines the wetland area drained is at risk of conversion to a nonagricultural use within 
81.10 	ten years based on the zoning classification, proximity to a municipality or full service 
81.11 	road, or other criteria as determined by the local government unit.
81.12 	(e) Restoration and replacement of wetlands must be accomplished in accordance 
81.13 	with the ecology of the landscape area affected and ponds that are created primarily to 
81.14 	fulfill stormwater management, and water quality treatment requirements may not be 
81.15 	used to satisfy replacement requirements under this chapter unless the design includes 
81.16 	pretreatment of runoff and the pond is functioning as a wetland.
81.17 	(f) Except as provided in paragraph (g), for a wetland or public waters wetland 
81.18 	located on nonagricultural land, replacement must be in the ratio of two acres of replaced 
81.19 	wetland for each acre of drained or filled wetland.
81.20 	(g) For a wetland or public waters wetland located on agricultural land or in a greater 
81.21 	than 80 percent area, replacement must be in the ratio of one acre of replaced wetland 
81.22 	for each acre of drained or filled wetland.
81.23 	(h) Wetlands that are restored or created as a result of an approved replacement plan 
81.24 	are subject to the provisions of this section for any subsequent drainage or filling.
81.25 	(i) Except in a greater than 80 percent area, only wetlands that have been restored 
81.26 	from previously drained or filled wetlands, wetlands created by excavation in nonwetlands, 
81.27 	wetlands created by dikes or dams along public or private drainage ditches, or wetlands 
81.28 	created by dikes or dams associated with the restoration of previously drained or filled 
81.29 	wetlands may be used in a statewide banking program established in rules adopted under 
81.30 	section 103G.2242, subdivision 1. Modification or conversion of nondegraded naturally 
81.31 	occurring wetlands from one type to another are not eligible for enrollment in a statewide 
81.32 	wetlands bank. 
81.33 	(j) The Technical Evaluation Panel established under section 103G.2242, subdivision 
81.34 	2, shall ensure that sufficient time has occurred for the wetland to develop wetland 
81.35 	characteristics of soils, vegetation, and hydrology before recommending that the wetland 
81.36 	be deposited in the statewide wetland bank. If the Technical Evaluation Panel has reason 
82.1 	to believe that the wetland characteristics may change substantially, the panel shall 
82.2 	postpone its recommendation until the wetland has stabilized. 
82.3 	(k) This section and sections 103G.223 to 103G.2242, 103G.2364, and 103G.2365
82.4 	apply to the state and its departments and agencies. 
82.5 	(l) For projects involving draining or filling of wetlands associated with a new public 
82.6 	transportation project, and for projects expanded solely for additional traffic capacity, 
82.7 	public transportation authorities may purchase credits from the board at the cost to the 
82.8 	board to establish credits. Proceeds from the sale of credits provided under this paragraph 
82.9 	are appropriated to the board for the purposes of this paragraph. For the purposes of this 
82.10 	paragraph, "transportation project" does not include an airport project.
82.11 	(m) A replacement plan for wetlands is not required for individual projects that 
82.12 	result in the filling or draining of wetlands for the repair, rehabilitation, reconstruction, 
82.13 	or replacement of a currently serviceable existing state, city, county, or town public road 
82.14 	necessary, as determined by the public transportation authority, to meet state or federal 
82.15 	design or safety standards or requirements, excluding new roads or roads expanded solely 
82.16 	for additional traffic capacity lanes. This paragraph only applies to authorities for public 
82.17 	transportation projects that:
82.18 	(1) minimize the amount of wetland filling or draining associated with the project 
82.19 	and consider mitigating important site-specific wetland functions on-site;
82.20 	(2) except as provided in clause (3), submit project-specific reports to the board, the 
82.21 	Technical Evaluation Panel, the commissioner of natural resources, and members of the 
82.22 	public requesting a copy at least 30 days prior to construction that indicate the location, 
82.23 	amount, and type of wetlands to be filled or drained by the project or, alternatively, 
82.24 	convene an annual meeting of the parties required to receive notice to review projects to 
82.25 	be commenced during the upcoming year; and
82.26 	(3) for minor and emergency maintenance work impacting less than 10,000 square 
82.27 	feet, submit project-specific reports, within 30 days of commencing the activity, to the 
82.28 	board that indicate the location, amount, and type of wetlands that have been filled 
82.29 	or drained.
82.30 	Those required to receive notice of public transportation projects may appeal 
82.31 	minimization, delineation, and on-site mitigation decisions made by the public 
82.32 	transportation authority to the board according to the provisions of section 103G.2242, 
82.33 	subdivision 9. The Technical Evaluation Panel shall review minimization and delineation 
82.34 	decisions made by the public transportation authority and provide recommendations 
82.35 	regarding on-site mitigation if requested to do so by the local government unit, a 
82.36 	contiguous landowner, or a member of the Technical Evaluation Panel. 
83.1 	Except for state public transportation projects, for which the state Department of 
83.2 	Transportation is responsible, the board must replace the wetlands, and wetland areas of 
83.3 	public waters if authorized by the commissioner or a delegated authority, drained or filled 
83.4 	by public transportation projects on existing roads.
83.5 	Public transportation authorities at their discretion may deviate from federal and 
83.6 	state design standards on existing road projects when practical and reasonable to avoid 
83.7 	wetland filling or draining, provided that public safety is not unreasonably compromised. 
83.8 	The local road authority and its officers and employees are exempt from liability for 
83.9 	any tort claim for injury to persons or property arising from travel on the highway and 
83.10 	related to the deviation from the design standards for construction or reconstruction under
