49.3 	the needs result from additional traffic 
49.4 	generated by the border-to-border touring 
49.5 	route; and increased use attributable to a 
49.6 	border-to-border touring route has caused at 
49.7 	least a 50 percent increase in maintenance 
49.8 	costs for roads under the claimant's 
49.9 	jurisdiction, based on a ten-year maintenance 
49.10 	average. The commissioner may accept an 
49.11 	alternative to the ten-year maintenance average 
49.12 	if a jurisdiction does not have sufficient 
49.13 	maintenance records. The commissioner has 
49.14 	discretion to accept an alternative based on a 
49.15 	good-faith effort by the jurisdiction. Any 
49.16 	alternative should include baseline 
49.17 	maintenance costs for at least two years before 
49.18 	the year the route begins operating. The 
49.19 	ten-year maintenance average or any 
49.20 	alternative must be calculated from the years 
49.21 	immediately preceding the year the route 
49.22 	begins operating. Before reimbursing a claim 
49.23 	under this paragraph, the commissioner must 
49.24 	consider whether the claim is consistent with 
49.25 	claims made by other entities that administer 
49.26 	roads on the touring route, in terms of the 
49.27 	amount requested for reimbursement and the 
49.28 	frequency of claims made.

96.7 	whole or in part, to the actual value of C, as reported under section 115A.1316, subdivision 
96.8 	2, during any succeeding program year, provided that no more than 25 percent of a 
96.9 	manufacturer's recycling obligation (A x B) for any program year may be met with phase 
96.10 	I and phase II recycling credits, separately or in combination, generated in a prior program 
96.11 	year. A manufacturer may sell any portion or all of its phase I and phase II recycling credits 
96.12 	to another manufacturer, at a price negotiated by the parties, who may use the credits in the 
96.13 	same manner.
96.14 	(e) For the purpose of determining B in calculating a manufacturer's variable recycling 
96.15 	fee using the formula under paragraph (b), starting with the program year beginning July 
96.16 	1, 2019, and continuing each year thereafter, the weight of covered electronic devices

102.11 	(b) The temporary list and the rules required by this subdivision shall be based upon the 
102.12 	relative risk or danger to public health or welfare or the environment, taking into account 
102.13 	to the extent possible the population at risk, the hazardous potential of the hazardous 
102.14 	substances at the facilities, the potential for contamination of drinking water supplies, the 
102.15 	potential for direct human contact, the potential for destruction of sensitive ecosystems, the 
102.16 	administrative and financial capabilities of the Pollution Control Agency, and other 
102.17 	appropriate factors.

102.18 	Sec. 94. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 115B.406, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
102.19 		Subdivision 1.Legislative findings. The legislature recognizes the need to protect the 
102.20 	public health and welfare and the environment at priority qualified facilities. To implement 
102.21 	a timely and effective cleanup and prevent multiparty litigation, the legislature finds it is in 
102.22 	the public interest to direct the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to:
102.23 	(1) take environmental response actions that the commissioner deems reasonable and 
102.24 	necessary to protect the public health or welfare or the environment at priority qualified 
102.25 	facilities and to;
102.26 	(2) acquire real property interests at priority qualified facilities to ensure the completion 
102.27 	and long-term effectiveness of environmental response actions.; and
102.28 	(3) prevent both an unjust financial windfall to and double liability of owners and 
102.29 	operators of priority qualified facilities.

102.30 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment and 
102.31 	applies to actions commenced on or after January 1, 2021.

103.1 	Sec. 95. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 115B.406, subdivision 9, is amended to read:
103.2 		Subd. 9.Environmental response costs; liens. (a) All environmental response costs
103.3 	and reasonable and necessary expenses, including administrative and legal expenses, incurred 
103.4 	by the commissioner at a priority qualified facility constitute a lien in favor of the state upon 
103.5 	any real property located in the state, other than homestead property, owned by the owner 
103.6 	or operator of the priority qualified facility who is subject to the requirements of section 
103.7 	115B.40, subdivision 4 or 5. Notwithstanding section 514.672, a lien under this paragraph 
103.8 	continues until the lien is satisfied or is released according to paragraph (c).
103.9 	(b) If the commissioner conducts an environmental response action at a priority qualified 
103.10 	facility and the environmental response action increases the fair market value of the facility 
103.11 	above the fair market value of the facility that existed before the response action was initiated, 
103.12 	then the state has a lien on the facility for the increase in fair market value of the property 
103.13 	attributable to the response action, valued at the time that construction of the final 
103.14 	environmental response action was completed, not including operation and maintenance. 
103.15 	Notwithstanding section 514.672, a lien under this paragraph continues until the lien is 
103.16 	satisfied or is released according to paragraph (c).
103.17 	(c) A lien under this subdivision paragraph (a) or (b) attaches when the environmental 
103.18 	response costs are first incurred. Notwithstanding section 514.672, a lien under this 
103.19 	subdivision continues until the lien is satisfied or six years after completion of construction 
103.20 	of the final environmental response action, not including operation and maintenance. Notice, 
103.21 	filing, and release, and enforcement of the lien are governed by sections 514.671 to 514.676, 
103.22 	except where those requirements specifically are related to only cleanup action expenses 
103.23 	as defined in section 514.671. The commissioner may release a lien under this subdivision 
103.24 	if the commissioner determines that attachment or enforcement of the lien is not in the 
103.25 	public interest. A lien under this subdivision is not subject to the foreclosure limitation 
103.26 	described in section 514.674, subdivision 2. Relative priority of a lien under this subdivision 
103.27 	is governed by section 514.672, except that a lien attached to property that was included in 
103.28 	any permit for the priority qualified facility takes precedence over all other liens regardless 
103.29 	of when the other liens were or are perfected. Amounts received to satisfy all or a part of a 
103.30 	lien must be deposited in the remediation fund. An environmental lien notice for a lien under 
103.31 	paragraph (a) or (b) must state that it is a lien in accordance with this section and identify 
103.32 	whether the property described in the notice was included in any permit for the priority 
103.33 	qualified facility.

103.34 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment and 
103.35 	applies to actions commenced on or after January 1, 2021.

104.1 	Sec. 96. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 115B.407, is amended to read:
104.2 	115B.407 ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION ACQUIRING AND DISPOSING
104.3 	OF REAL PROPERTY AT PRIORITY QUALIFIED FACILITIES.
104.4 		Subdivision 1.Acquiring and disposing of real property. (a) The commissioner may 
104.5 	acquire interests in real property by donation or eminent domain at all or a portion of a 
104.6 	priority qualified facility. Condemnation under this section includes acquisition of fee title 
104.7 	or an easement. After acquiring an interest in real property under this section, the 
104.8 	commissioner must take environmental response actions at the priority qualified facility 
104.9 	according to sections 115B.39 to 115B.414 after the legislature makes an appropriation for 
104.10 	that purpose.
104.11 	(b) The commissioner may dispose of real property acquired under this section according 
104.12 	to section 115B.17, subdivision 16.
104.13 	(c) Except as modified by this section, chapter 117 governs condemnation proceedings 
104.14 	by the commissioner under this section. The exceptions under section 117.189 apply to the 
104.15 	use of eminent domain authority under this section. Section 117.226 does not apply to 
104.16 	properties acquired by the use of eminent domain authority under this section.
104.17 	(d) The state is not liable under this chapter solely as a result of acquiring an interest in 
104.18 	real property under this section.
104.19 		Subd. 2.Eminent domain damages. (a) For purposes of this subdivision, the following 
104.20 	terms have the meanings given:
104.21 	(1) "after-market value" means the property value of that portion of the subject property 
104.22 	remaining after a partial taking;
104.23 	(2) "as remediated" means the condition of the property assuming the environmental 
104.24 	response actions selected by the commissioner have been completed, including environmental 
104.25 	covenants and easements and other institutional controls that may apply;
104.26 	(3) "before-market value" means the property value of the entire subject property before 
104.27 	the taking, less the remediation costs;
104.28 	(4) "property value" means the fair market value of the real property, as remediated, less 
104.29 	any reduction in value attributable to the stigma of pollution; and
104.30 	(5) "remediation costs" means the reasonably foreseeable costs and expenses, including 
104.31 	administrative and legal expenses, that the commissioner will incur to implement the 
104.32 	environmental response actions that the commissioner selected for the property according 
105.1 	to section 115B.406, subdivision 3, less the amount, if any, that the property owner 
105.2 	demonstrates was released under section 115B.443, subdivision 8, which must not be greater 
105.3 	than the extent of insurance coverage under policies for the property included in a settlement 
105.4 	consistent with section 115B.443, subdivision 8.
105.5 	(b) The damages awarded for condemnation of real property under this section is the 
105.6 	greater of $500 or:
105.7 	(1) for a total taking of the subject property, the before-market value; or
105.8 	(2) for a partial taking of the subject property, the before-market value less the 
105.9 	after-market value.
105.10 	(c) When awarding damages in a condemnation proceeding under this section, in addition 
105.11 	to any other requirement of chapter 117, the finder of fact must report:
105.12 	(1) the amount determined for the property value of the entire subject property before 
105.13 	the taking; and
105.14 	(2) the itemized amount determined for remediation costs.
105.15 	(d) The commissioner may seek recovery of environmental response costs only to the 
105.16 	extent the costs exceed the lower of the remediation costs or the property value of the entire 
105.17 	subject property before the taking as reported under paragraph (c).
105.18 	(e) If the actual expenses incurred by the commissioner to take environmental response 
105.19 	actions at the priority qualified facility as determined at the time construction of the final 
105.20 	environmental response action was completed would have yielded a higher award of damages 
105.21 	under this section, then the commissioner must reimburse the owner an amount equal to the 
105.22 	amount of damages as if the actual expenses were used instead of the remediation costs, 
105.23 	less any damages already awarded.

105.24 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment and 
105.25 	applies to actions commenced on or after January 1, 2021.

105.28 	(a) The closed landfill investment fund is established in the state treasury. The fund 
105.29 	consists of money credited to the fund, and interest and other earnings on money in the 
105.30 	fund. Beginning July 1, 2003, Funds must be deposited as described in section 115B.445. 
105.31 	The fund shall must be managed to maximize long-term gain through the State Board of 
106.1 	Investment. Money in the fund may be spent by the commissioner after fiscal year 2020 in 
106.2 	accordance with sections 115B.39 to 115B.444.
106.3 	(b) Each fiscal year, up to $4,500,000 is appropriated from the closed landfill investment 
106.4 	fund to the commissioner for the purposes of sections 115B.39 to 115B.444.
106.5 	(c) If the commissioner determines that a release or threatened release from a qualified 
106.6 	facility for which the commissioner has assumed obligations for environmental response 
106.7 	actions under section 115B.40 or 115B.406 constitutes an emergency requiring immediate 
106.8 	action to prevent, minimize, or mitigate damage either to the public health or welfare or the 
106.9 	environment or to a system designed to protect the public health or welfare or the 
106.10 	environment, up to $9,000,000 in addition to the amount appropriated under paragraph (b) 
106.11 	is appropriated to the commissioner in the first year of the biennium and may be spent by 
106.12 	the commissioner to take reasonable and necessary emergency response actions. Money 
106.13 	not spent in the first year of the biennium may be spent in the second year. If money is 
106.14 	appropriated under this paragraph, the commissioner must notify the chairs of the senate 
106.15 	and house of representatives committees having jurisdiction over environment policy and 
106.16 	finance as soon as possible. The commissioner must maintain the fund balance to ensure 
106.17 	long-term viability of the fund and reflect the responsibility of the landfill cleanup program 
106.18 	in perpetuity.
106.19 	(d) Paragraphs (b) and (c) expire June 30, 2025.

106.20 	Sec. 98. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 116.07, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
106.21 	read:
106.22 		Subd. 4l.Real property interests. (a) The commissioner may acquire interests in real 
106.23 	property at a solid waste disposal facility, limited to environmental covenants under chapter 
106.24 	114E and easements for the environmental covenants, when the commissioner determines 
106.25 	the property interests are related to:
106.26 	(1) closure;
106.27 	(2) postclosure care; and
106.28 	(3) any other actions needed after the postclosure care period expires.

106.30 	an interest in real property under this section.
107.1 	(c) An environmental covenant under this subdivision must be in accordance with chapter 
107.2 	114E and must be signed and acknowledged by every owner of the fee simple title to the 
107.3 	real property subject to the covenant.

107.4 	Sec. 99. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 116.07, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
107.5 		Subd. 7.Counties; processing applications for animal lot permits. (a) Any Minnesota 
107.6 	county board may, by resolution, with approval of the Pollution Control Agency, assume 
107.7 	responsibility for processing applications for permits required by the Pollution Control 
107.8 	Agency under this section for livestock feedlots, poultry lots or other animal lots. The 
107.9 	responsibility for permit application processing, if assumed by a county, may be delegated 
107.10 	by the county board to any appropriate county officer or employee.
107.11 	(b) For the purposes of this subdivision, the term "processing" includes:
107.12 	(1) the distribution to applicants of forms provided by the Pollution Control Agency;
107.13 	(2) the receipt and examination of completed application forms, and the certification, 
107.14 	in writing, to the Pollution Control Agency either that the animal lot facility for which a 
107.15 	permit is sought by an applicant will comply with applicable rules and standards, or, if the 
107.16 	facility will not comply, the respects in which a variance would be required for the issuance 
107.17 	of a permit; and
107.18 	(3) rendering to applicants, upon request, assistance necessary for the proper completion 
107.19 	of an application.
107.20 	(c) For the purposes of this subdivision, the term "processing" may include, at the option 
107.21 	of the county board, issuing, denying, modifying, imposing conditions upon, or revoking 
107.22 	permits pursuant to the provisions of this section or rules promulgated pursuant to it, subject 
107.23 	to review, suspension, and reversal by the Pollution Control Agency. The Pollution Control 
107.24 	Agency shall, after written notification, have 15 days to review, suspend, modify, or reverse 
107.25 	the issuance of the permit. After this period, the action of the county board is final, subject 
107.26 	to appeal as provided in chapter 14. For permit applications filed after October 1, 2001, 
107.27 	section 15.99 applies to feedlot permits issued by the agency or a county pursuant to this 
107.28 	subdivision.
107.29 	(d) For the purpose of administration of rules adopted under this subdivision, the 
107.30 	commissioner and the agency may provide exceptions for cases where the owner of a feedlot 
107.31 	has specific written plans to close the feedlot within five years. These exceptions include 
107.32 	waiving requirements for major capital improvements.
108.1 	(e) For purposes of this subdivision, a discharge caused by an extraordinary natural event 
108.2 	such as a precipitation event of greater magnitude than the 25-year, 24-hour event, tornado, 
108.3 	or flood in excess of the 100-year flood is not a "direct discharge of pollutants."
108.4 	(f) In adopting and enforcing rules under this subdivision, the commissioner shall 
108.5 	cooperate closely with other governmental agencies.
108.6 	(g) The Pollution Control Agency shall work with the Minnesota Extension Service, the 
108.7 	Department of Agriculture, the Board of Water and Soil Resources, producer groups, local 
108.8 	units of government, as well as with appropriate federal agencies such as the Natural 
108.9 	Resources Conservation Service and the Farm Service Agency, to notify and educate 
108.10 	producers of rules under this subdivision at the time the rules are being developed and 
108.11 	adopted and at least every two years thereafter.
108.12 	(h) The Pollution Control Agency shall adopt rules governing the issuance and denial 
108.13 	of permits for livestock feedlots, poultry lots or other animal lots pursuant to this section. 
108.14 	Pastures are exempt from the rules authorized under this paragraph. No feedlot permit shall 
108.15 	include any terms or conditions that impose any requirements related to any pastures owned 
108.16 	or utilized by the feedlot operator other than restrictions under a manure management plan.
108.17 	A feedlot permit is not required for livestock feedlots with more than ten but less than 50 
108.18 	animal units; provided they are not in shoreland areas. A livestock feedlot permit does not 
108.19 	become required solely because of a change in the ownership of the buildings, grounds, or 
108.20 	feedlot. These rules apply both to permits issued by counties and to permits issued by the 
108.21 	Pollution Control Agency directly. No feedlot permit issued by the Pollution Control Agency 
108.22 	shall include terms or conditions that:
108.23 	(1) impose requirements related to pastures owned or used by the feedlot operator other 
108.24 	than restrictions under a manure management plan; or
108.25 	(2) require implementing nitrogen best management practices as a condition of allowing 
108.26 	application of manure in October.
108.27 	(i) The Pollution Control Agency shall exercise supervising authority with respect to 
108.28 	the processing of animal lot permit applications by a county.
108.29 	(j) Any new rules or amendments to existing rules proposed under the authority granted 
108.30 	in this subdivision, or to implement new fees on animal feedlots, must be submitted to the 
108.31 	members of legislative policy and finance committees with jurisdiction over agriculture and 
108.32 	the environment prior to final adoption. The rules must not become effective until 90 days 
108.33 	after the proposed rules are submitted to the members.
109.1 	(k) Until new rules are adopted that provide for plans for manure storage structures, any 
109.2 	plans for a liquid manure storage structure must be prepared or approved by a registered 
109.3 	professional engineer or a United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources 
109.4 	Conservation Service employee.
109.5 	(l) A county may adopt by ordinance standards for animal feedlots that are more stringent 
109.6 	than standards in Pollution Control Agency rules.
109.7 	(m) After January 1, 2001, a county that has not accepted delegation of the feedlot permit 
109.8 	program must hold a public meeting prior to the agency issuing a feedlot permit for a feedlot 
109.9 	facility with 300 or more animal units, unless another public meeting has been held with 
109.10 	regard to the feedlot facility to be permitted.
109.11 	(n) After the proposed rules published in the State Register, volume 24, number 25, are 
109.12 	finally adopted, the agency may not impose additional conditions as a part of a feedlot 
109.13 	permit, unless specifically required by law or agreed to by the feedlot operator.
109.14 	(o) For the purposes of feedlot permitting, a discharge from land-applied manure or a 
109.15 	manure stockpile that is managed according to agency rule must not be subject to a fine for 
109.16 	a discharge violation.
109.17 	(p) For the purposes of feedlot permitting, manure that is land applied, or a manure 
109.18 	stockpile that is managed according to agency rule, must not be considered a discharge into 
109.19 	waters of the state, unless the discharge is to waters of the state, as defined by section 
109.20 	103G.005, subdivision 17, except type 1 or type 2 wetlands, as defined in section 103G.005, 
109.21 	subdivision 17b, and does not meet discharge standards established for feedlots under agency 
109.22 	rule.
109.23 	(q) Unless the upgrade is needed to correct an immediate public health threat under 
109.24 	section 145A.04, subdivision 8, or the facility is determined to be a concentrated animal 
109.25 	feeding operation under Code of Federal Regulations, title 40, section 122.23, in effect on 
109.26 	April 15, 2003, the agency may not require a feedlot operator:
109.27 	(1) to spend more than $3,000 to upgrade an existing feedlot with less than 300 animal 
109.28 	units unless cost-share money is available to the feedlot operator for 75 percent of the cost 
109.29 	of the upgrade; or
109.30 	(2) to spend more than $10,000 to upgrade an existing feedlot with between 300 and 
109.31 	500 animal units, unless cost-share money is available to the feedlot operator for 75 percent 
109.32 	of the cost of the upgrade or $50,000, whichever is less.
110.1 	(r) A feedlot operator who stores and applies up to 100,000 gallons per calendar year of 
110.2 	private truck wash wastewater resulting from trucks that transport animals or supplies to 
110.3 	and from the feedlot does not require a permit to land-apply industrial by-products if the 
110.4 	feedlot operator stores and applies the wastewater in accordance with Pollution Control 
110.5 	Agency requirements for land applications of industrial by-product that do not require a 
110.6 	permit.
110.7 	(s) A feedlot operator who holds a permit from the Pollution Control Agency to 
110.8 	land-apply industrial by-products from a private truck wash is not required to have a certified 
110.9 	land applicator apply the private truck wash wastewater if the wastewater is applied by the 
110.10 	feedlot operator to cropland owned or leased by the feedlot operator or by a commercial 
110.11 	animal waste technician licensed by the commissioner of agriculture under chapter 18C. 
110.12 	For purposes of this paragraph and paragraph (r), "private truck wash" means a truck washing 
110.13 	facility owned or leased, operated, and used only by a feedlot operator to wash trucks owned 
110.14 	or leased by the feedlot operator and used to transport animals or supplies to and from the 
110.15 	feedlot.

110.16 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 31, 2021, unless the federal 
110.17 	Environmental Protection Agency disapproves the changes under Code of Federal 
110.18 	Regulations, title 40, section 123.62(b)(3), or other applicable federal law. The commissioner 
110.19 	of the Pollution Control Agency must notify the revisor of statutes if this occurs.

110.20 	Sec. 100. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 116G.07, is amended by adding a subdivision 
110.21 	to read:
110.22 		Subd. 4.Exemption; Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area. Plans and regulations 
110.23 	of local units of government within the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area are exempt 
110.24 	from subdivisions 1 to 3 and are subject to section 116G.15, subdivision 8.

110.25 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.

110.26 	Sec. 101. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 116G.15, is amended by adding a subdivision

110.30 	carrying out the duties of the board and the Metropolitan Council is responsible for carrying 
110.31 	out the duties of the regional development commission under sections 116G.07 to 116G.10. 
110.32 	Notwithstanding sections 116G.07, subdivisions 2 and 3, and 116G.10, subdivision 3, the

114.1 	Sec. 103. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 290C.01, is amended to read:
114.2 	290C.01 PURPOSE.
114.3 	It is the policy of this state to promote sustainable forest resource management on the 
114.4 	state's public and private lands. The state's private forests comprise approximately one-half 
114.5 	of the state forest land resources. These forests play a critical role in protecting water quality 
114.6 	and soil resources, and provide extensive wildlife habitat, natural carbon sequestration, 
114.7 	diverse recreational experiences, and significant forest products that support the state's 
114.8 	economy. Ad valorem property taxes represent a significant annual cost that can discourage 
114.9 	long-term forest management investments. In order to foster silviculture investments and 
114.10 	retain these forests for their economic and ecological benefits, this chapter, hereafter referred 
114.11 	to as the "Sustainable Forest Incentive Act," is enacted to encourage the state's private forest 
114.12 	landowners to make a long-term commitment to sustainable forest management.

114.13 	Sec. 104. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 290C.04, is amended to read:
114.14 	290C.04 APPLICATIONS.
114.15 	(a) A landowner may apply to enroll forest land for the sustainable forest incentive 
114.16 	program under this chapter. The claimant must complete, sign, and submit an application 
114.17 	to the commissioner by October 31 in order for the land to become eligible beginning in 
114.18 	the next year. The application shall be on a form prescribed by the commissioners of revenue 
114.19 	and natural resources and must include the information the commissioners deem necessary. 
114.20 	At a minimum, the application must show the following information for the land and the 
114.21 	claimant: (i) the claimant's Social Security number or state or federal business tax registration 
114.22 	number and date of birth, (ii) the claimant's address, (iii) the claimant's signature, (iv) the 
114.23 	county's parcel identification numbers for the tax parcels that completely contain the 
114.24 	claimant's forest land that is sought to be enrolled, (v) the number of acres eligible for 
114.25 	enrollment in the program, (vi) the approved plan writer's signature and identification 
114.26 	number, (vii) (vi) proof, in a form specified by the commissioner, that the claimant has 
114.27 	executed and acknowledged in the manner required by law for a deed, and recorded, a 
114.28 	covenant that the land is not and shall not be developed in a manner inconsistent with the 
114.29 	requirements and conditions of this chapter, and (viii) (vii) a registration number for the 
114.30 	forest management plan, issued by the commissioner of natural resources. The covenant 
114.31 	shall state in writing that the covenant is binding on the claimant and the claimant's successor 
114.32 	or assignee, and that it runs with the land for a period of not less than eight years unless the 
114.33 	claimant requests termination of the covenant after a reduction in payments due to changes 
114.34 	in the payment formula under section 290C.07 or as a result of executive action, the amount 
115.1 	of payment a claimant is eligible to receive under section 290C.07 is reduced or limited. 
115.2 	The commissioner shall specify the form of the covenant and provide copies upon request. 
115.3 	The covenant must include a legal description that encompasses all the forest land that the 
115.4 	claimant wishes to enroll under this section or the certificate of title number for that land if 
115.5 	it is registered land. The commissioner of natural resources shall record the area eligible 
115.6 	for enrollment into the Sustainable Forest Incentive Act as electronic geospatial data, as 
115.7 	defined in section 16E.30, subdivision 10.
115.8 	(b) The commissioner shall provide by electronic means data sufficient for the 
115.9 	commissioner of natural resources to determine whether the land qualifies for enrollment. 
115.10 	The commissioner must make the data available within 30 days of receipt of the application 
115.11 	filed by the claimant or by October 1, whichever is sooner. The commissioner of natural 
115.12 	resources must notify the commissioner whether the land qualifies for enrollment within 
115.13 	30 days of the data being available, and if the land qualifies for enrollment, the commissioner 
115.14 	of natural resources shall specify the number of qualifying acres per tax parcel.
115.15 	(c) The commissioner shall notify the claimant within 90 days after receipt of a completed 
115.16 	application that either the land has or has not been approved for enrollment. A claimant 
115.17 	whose application is denied may appeal the denial as provided in section 290C.13.
115.18 	(d) Within 90 days after the denial of an application, or within 90 days after the final 
115.19 	resolution of any appeal related to the denial, the commissioner shall execute and 
115.20 	acknowledge a document releasing the land from the covenant required under this chapter. 
115.21 	The document must be mailed to the claimant and is entitled to be recorded.
115.22 	(e) The Social Security numbers collected from individuals under this section are private 
115.23 	data as provided in section 13.355. The federal business tax registration number and date 
115.24 	of birth data collected under this section are also private data on individuals or nonpublic 
115.25 	data, as defined in section 13.02, subdivisions 9 and 12, but may be shared with county 
115.26 	assessors for purposes of tax administration and with county treasurers for purposes of the 
115.27 	revenue recapture under chapter 270A.
