The responsible governmental 87.32unit for an ethanol plant project for which an environmental assessment worksheet is 87.33prepared shall be the state agency with the greatest responsibility for supervising or 87.34approving the project as a whole.88.1    (b) The responsible governmental unit shall promptly publish notice of the 88.2completion of an environmental assessment worksheet in a manner to be determined by 88.3the board and shall provide copies of the environmental assessment worksheet to the board 88.4and its member agencies. Comments on the need for an environmental impact statement 88.5may be submitted to the responsible governmental unit during a 30-day period following 88.6publication of the notice that an environmental assessment worksheet has been completed. 88.7The responsible governmental unit's decision on the need for an environmental impact 88.8statement shall be based on the environmental assessment worksheet and the comments 88.9received during the comment period, and shall be made within 15 days after the close of 88.10the comment period. The board's chair may extend the 15-day period by not more than 15 88.11additional days upon the request of the responsible governmental unit.88.12    (c) An environmental assessment worksheet shall also be prepared for a proposed 88.13action whenever material evidence accompanying a petition by not less than 25 10088.14individuals who reside or own property in the county or an adjoining county where the 88.15proposed action will be located, submitted before the proposed project has received final 88.16approval by the appropriate governmental units, demonstrates that, because of the nature 88.17or location of a proposed action, there may be potential for significant environmental 88.18effects. Petitions requesting the preparation of an environmental assessment worksheet 88.19shall be submitted to the board. The chair of the board shall determine the appropriate 88.20responsible governmental unit and forward the petition to it. A decision on the need for 88.21an environmental assessment worksheet shall be made by the responsible governmental 88.22unit within 15 days after the petition is received by the responsible governmental unit. 88.23The board's chair may extend the 15-day period by not more than 15 additional days upon 88.24request of the responsible governmental unit.88.25    (d) Except in an environmentally sensitive location where Minnesota Rules, part 88.264410.4300, subpart 29, item B, applies, the proposed action is exempt from environmental 88.27review under this chapter and rules of the board, if:88.28    (1) the proposed action is:88.29    (i) an animal feedlot facility with a capacity of less than 1,000 animal units; or88.30    (ii) an expansion of an existing animal feedlot facility with a total cumulative 88.31capacity of less than 1,000 animal units;88.32    (2) the application for the animal feedlot facility includes a written commitment by 88.33the proposer to design, construct, and operate the facility in full compliance with Pollution 88.34Control Agency feedlot rules; and88.35    (3) the county board holds a public meeting for citizen input at least ten business 88.36days prior to the Pollution Control Agency or county issuing a feedlot permit for the 89.1animal feedlot facility unless another public meeting for citizen input has been held with 89.2regard to the feedlot facility to be permitted. The exemption in this paragraph is in 89.3addition to other exemptions provided under other law and rules of the board.89.4    (e) The board may, prior to final approval of a proposed project, require preparation 89.5of an environmental assessment worksheet by a responsible governmental unit selected 89.6by the board for any action where environmental review under this section has not been 89.7specifically provided for by rule or otherwise initiated.89.8    (f) An early and open process shall be utilized to limit the scope of the environmental 89.9impact statement to a discussion of those impacts, which, because of the nature or location 89.10of the project, have the potential for significant environmental effects. The same process 89.11shall be utilized to determine the form, content and level of detail of the statement as well 89.12as the alternatives which are appropriate for consideration in the statement. In addition, 89.13the permits which will be required for the proposed action shall be identified during the 89.14scoping process. Further, the process shall identify those permits for which information 89.15will be developed concurrently with the environmental impact statement. The board 89.16shall provide in its rules for the expeditious completion of the scoping process. The 89.17determinations reached in the process shall be incorporated into the order requiring the 89.18preparation of an environmental impact statement.89.19    (g) The responsible governmental unit shall, to the extent practicable, avoid 89.20duplication and ensure coordination between state and federal environmental review 89.21and between environmental review and environmental permitting. Whenever practical, 89.22information needed by a governmental unit for making final decisions on permits or 89.23other actions required for a proposed project shall be developed in conjunction with the 89.24preparation of an environmental impact statement.89.25    (h) An environmental impact statement shall be prepared and its adequacy 89.26determined within 280 days after notice of its preparation unless the time is extended by 89.27consent of the parties or by the governor for good cause. The responsible governmental 89.28unit shall determine the adequacy of an environmental impact statement, unless within 60 89.29days after notice is published that an environmental impact statement will be prepared, 89.30the board chooses to determine the adequacy of an environmental impact statement. If an 89.31environmental impact statement is found to be inadequate, the responsible governmental 89.32unit shall have 60 days to prepare an adequate environmental impact statement.89.33    (i) The proposer of a specific action may include in the information submitted to the 89.34responsible governmental unit a preliminary draft environmental impact statement under 89.35this section on that action for review, modification, and determination of completeness and 89.36adequacy by the responsible governmental unit. A preliminary draft environmental impact 90.1statement prepared by the project proposer and submitted to the responsible governmental 90.2unit shall identify or include as an appendix all studies and other sources of information 90.3used to substantiate the analysis contained in the preliminary draft environmental impact 90.4statement. The responsible governmental unit shall require additional studies, if needed, 90.5and obtain from the project proposer all additional studies and information necessary for 90.6the responsible governmental unit to perform its responsibility to review, modify, and 90.7determine the completeness and adequacy of the environmental impact statement.90.8    Sec. 32.
