new text begin Appropriation. new text end

new text begin $4,500,000 is appropriated from the bond proceeds fund
to the commissioner of natural resources for a grant to the city of Hutchinson to predesign,
design, engineer, and construct capital improvements and betterments of Otter Lake,
Campbell Lake, the South Fork Crow River, and other tributaries to the lakes in order to
improve water quality, increase the areas for recreational activities, and restore fish and
wildlife habitat. The project includes stream and shoreline restoration and the installation
of a forebay at the mouth of the lake basin to collect from the river sediment originating
from outside the city before it enters the lakes and to allow for periodic removal of the
sediment collected. This appropriation is not available until the commissioner of management
and budget determines that at least $500,000 has been committed from nonstate sources to
complete the project. In addition, approximately $2,455,000 in expenditures made by the
city before enactment of this subdivision on the lake and river restoration study, regional
storm water ponds to treat city storm water before it enters the river and lakes, and
construction of the rock riffle and fish ladder dam between the river and lakes are included
in the nonstate contribution to the project.
