46.1 	Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 114D.10, is amended to read:
46.2 	114D.10 LEGISLATIVE PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.
46.3 		Subdivision 1.Purpose. The purpose of the Clean Water Legacy Act is to protect, 
46.4 	enhance, and restore, and preserve the water quality of Minnesota's surface waters in 
46.5 	lakes, rivers, and streams and to protect groundwater from degradation, by providing 
46.6 	authority, direction, and resources to achieve and maintain water quality standards for 
46.7 	groundwater and surface waters as, including the standards required by section 303(d) 
46.8 	of the federal Clean Water Act, United States Code, title 33, section 1313(d), and other
46.9 	applicable state and federal regulations.
46.10 		Subd. 2.Findings. The legislature finds that:
46.11 	(1) there is a close link between protecting, enhancing, and restoring, and preserving
46.12 	the quality of Minnesota's groundwater and surface waters and the ability to develop the 
46.13 	state's economy, enhance its quality of life, and protect its human and natural resources;
46.14 	(2) achieving the state's water quality goals will require long-term commitment and 
46.15 	cooperation by all state and local agencies, and other public and private organizations 
46.16 	and individuals, with responsibility and authority for water management, planning, and 
46.17 	protection; and
46.18 	(3) all persons and organizations whose activities affect the quality of waters, 
46.19 	including point and nonpoint sources of pollution, have a responsibility to participate in 
46.20 	and support efforts to achieve the state's water quality goals.

46.21 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 114D.20, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
46.22 		Subdivision 1.Coordination and cooperation. In implementing this chapter, 
46.23 	public agencies and private entities shall take into consideration the relevant provisions of 
46.24 	local and other applicable water management, conservation, land use, land management, 
46.25 	and development plans and programs. Public agencies with authority for local water 
46.26 	management, conservation, land use, land management, and development plans shall 
46.27 	take into consideration the manner in which their plans affect the implementation of 
46.28 	this chapter. Public agencies shall identify opportunities to participate and assist in the 
46.29 	successful implementation of this chapter, including the funding or technical assistance 
46.30 	needs, if any, that may be necessary. In implementing this chapter, public agencies shall 
46.31 	endeavor to engage the cooperation of organizations and individuals whose activities 
46.32 	affect the quality of groundwater or surface waters, including point and nonpoint sources 
46.33 	of pollution, and who have authority and responsibility for water management, planning, 
46.34 	and protection. To the extent practicable, public agencies shall endeavor to enter into 
46.35 	formal and informal agreements and arrangements with federal agencies and departments 
47.1 	to jointly utilize staff and educational, technical, and financial resources to deliver 
47.2 	programs or conduct activities to achieve the intent of this chapter, including efforts 
47.3 	under the federal Clean Water Act and other federal farm and soil and water conservation 
47.4 	programs. Nothing in this chapter affects the application of silvicultural exemptions under 
47.5 	any federal, state, or local law or requires silvicultural practices more stringent than those 
47.6 	recommended in the timber harvesting and forest management guidelines adopted by the 
47.7 	Minnesota Forest Resources Council under section 89A.05.

47.8 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 114D.20, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
47.9 		Subd. 2.Goals for implementation. The following goals must guide the 
47.10 	implementation of this chapter:
47.11 	(1) to identify impaired waters in accordance with federal TMDL requirements 
47.12 	within ten years after the effective date of this section and thereafter to ensure continuing 
47.13 	evaluation of surface waters for impairments;
47.14 	(2) to submit TMDL's to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for all 
47.15 	impaired waters in a timely manner in accordance with federal TMDL requirements;
47.16 	(3) to set a reasonable time for implementing restoration of each identified impaired 
47.17 	water;
47.18 	(4) to provide assistance and incentives to prevent waters from becoming impaired 
47.19 	and to improve the quality of waters that are listed as impaired but do not have an 
47.20 	approved TMDL addressing the impairment;
47.21 	(5) to promptly seek the delisting of waters from the impaired waters list when those 
47.22 	waters are shown to achieve the designated uses applicable to the waters; and
47.23 	(6) to achieve compliance with federal Clean Water Act requirements in Minnesota.;
