155.4 	Alexandria Lake Area Sanitary District may fund or perform lake management activities 
155.5 	in Lake Winona and in Lake Agnes. Lake management activities may include, but are not 
155.6 	limited to, carp removal and alum treatment. If the district agrees to fund or perform lake 
155.7 	management activities in Lake Winona and in Lake Agnes, the commissioner of the Pollution 
155.8 	Control Agency shall do one of the following unless the district chooses another path to 
155.9 	compliance that conforms to state and federal law, such as facility construction:
155.10 	(1) approve an offset of the phosphorous loading proportional to the reduction achievable 
155.11 	through lake management activities in Lake Winona and Lake Agnes creditable to the 
155.12 	Alexandria Lake Area Sanitary District's wastewater treatment facility and issue or amend 
155.13 	the district's NPDES permit MN004738 to include the offset. The approved offset may be 
155.14 	related to the lake eutrophication response variable chlorophyll-a, but shall ensure the district 
155.15 	can achieve compliance with phosphorus effluent limits through wastewater optimization 
155.16 	techniques without performing capital upgrades to the wastewater treatment facility. The 
155.17 	lake management activities contemplated under this paragraph need not be completed before 
155.18 	the commissioner approves the offset and related discharge limits or issues the permit, but 
155.19 	the permit may include a schedule of compliance outlining the required lake management 
155.20 	activities and requiring that lake management activities in Lake Winona and Lake Agnes 
155.21 	begin immediately upon permit issuance. The approved offset and related permit language 
155.22 	must be consistent with Clean Water Act requirements and Minnesota Statutes, section 
155.23 	115.03, subdivision 10; or
155.24 	(2) amend the district's NPDES permit MN004738 in a manner consistent with state and 
155.25 	federal law to include an integrated and adaptive lake management plan and to extend the 
155.26 	final compliance deadline for the final phosphorus concentration effluent limit related to 
155.27 	the site specific standard for Lake Winona contained in the district's permit until the time 
155.28 	that the adaptive lake management plan, including carp removal in Lake Winona, can be 
155.29 	completed and the lake can be reassessed. The permit may include a schedule of compliance 
155.30 	outlining the required lake management activities and requiring that lake management 
155.31 	activities in Lake Winona and Lake Agnes begin immediately upon permit issuance.
155.32 	(b) If the district agrees to fund or perform the lake management activities identified in 
155.33 	paragraph (a), the district may cooperate with the city of Alexandria in those efforts. The 
155.34 	district's responsibility for lake management activities in Lake Winona and Lake Agnes 
156.1 	terminates upon completion of the lake management activities identified in the schedule of 
156.2 	compliance contemplated under paragraph (a).

156.3 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day after the governing body of the 
156.4 	Alexandria Lake Area Sanitary District and its chief clerical officer timely complete their 
156.5 	compliance with Minnesota Statutes, section 645.021, subdivisions 2 and 3.

158.13 	any redemption premiums on the bonds, any interest accrued or to accrue to the redemption 
158.14 	date, and costs related to the issuance and sale of the refunding bonds. The proceeds of any 
158.15 	refunding bonds may, in the discretion of the commissioner, be applied to the purchase or 
158.16 	payment at maturity of the appropriation bonds to be refunded, to the redemption of the 
158.17 	outstanding appropriation bonds on any redemption date, or to pay interest on the refunding 
158.18 	bonds and may, pending application, be placed in escrow to be applied to the purchase,

158.20 	invested and reinvested in obligations that are authorized investments under section 11A.24. 
158.21 	The income earned or realized on the investment may also be applied to the payment of the 
158.22 	appropriation bonds to be refunded or interest or premiums on the refunded appropriation 
158.23 	bonds, or to pay interest on the refunding bonds. After the terms of the escrow have been 
158.24 	fully satisfied, any balance of the proceeds and any investment income may be returned to 
158.25 	the trust fund or, if applicable, the special appropriation trust fund bond proceeds fund for 
158.26 	use in any lawful manner. All refunding bonds issued under this subdivision must be

159.5 		Subd. 6.No full faith and credit; state not required to make appropriations. The 
159.6 	appropriation bonds are not public debt of the state, and the full faith, credit, and taxing 
159.7 	powers of the state are not pledged to the payment of the appropriation bonds or to any 
159.8 	payment that the state agrees to make under this section. Appropriation bonds shall not be 
159.9 	obligations paid directly, in whole or in part, from a tax of statewide application on any 
159.10 	class of property, income, transaction, or privilege. Appropriation bonds shall be payable 
159.11 	in each fiscal year only from amounts that the legislature may appropriate for debt service 
159.12 	for any fiscal year, provided that nothing in this section shall be construed to require the 
159.13 	state to appropriate money sufficient to make debt service payments with respect to the 
159.14 	appropriation bonds in any fiscal year. Appropriation bonds shall be canceled and shall no 
159.15 	longer be outstanding on the earlier of (1) the first day of a fiscal year for which the
