         		<a id="pl.14.6"></a><var>14.6</var>(a) The commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency and the commissioner <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.7"></a><var>14.7</var>of natural resources may jointly conduct a pilot program for an alternative form of <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.8"></a><var>14.8</var>environmental review as specified in this section. This pilot program is in addition to the <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.9"></a><var>14.9</var>alternate forms of environmental review that are authorized under Minnesota Statutes, <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.10"></a><var>14.10</var>section 116D.04, subdivision 4a. Minnesota Rules, part 4410.3600, does not apply to the <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.11"></a><var>14.11</var>pilot program authorized in this section.<br />
         		<a id="pl.14.12"></a><var>14.12</var>(b) The commissioners may select up to three projects to be processed under the <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.13"></a><var>14.13</var>pilot program. The environmental review work for each project must commence before <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.14"></a><var>14.14</var>January 1, 2014, to remain eligible for proceeding under this program.<br />
         		<a id="pl.14.15"></a><var>14.15</var>(c) The pilot program procedures are as follows:<br />
         		<a id="pl.14.16"></a><var>14.16</var>(1) an environmental assessment worksheet is not required;<br />
         		<a id="pl.14.17"></a><var>14.17</var>(2) a scoping document must be prepared that identifies the issues to be analyzed, <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.18"></a><var>14.18</var>the alternatives to be considered, and the studies to be undertaken. The scoping document <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.19"></a><var>14.19</var>results must be published at the same time as the notice of preparation of the pilot program <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.20"></a><var>14.20</var>impact statement;<br />
         		<a id="pl.14.21"></a><var>14.21</var>(3) any person may submit written comments within 20 days of publication of <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.22"></a><var>14.22</var>the notice for preparation of the pilot program impact statement. The responsible <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.23"></a><var>14.23</var>governmental unit must consider modifying the scope of the project based on the <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.24"></a><var>14.24</var>comments;<br />
         		<a id="pl.14.25"></a><var>14.25</var>(4) the pilot program impact statement must be an analytical, rather than an <br />

         		<a id="pl.14.27"></a><var>14.27</var>action's significant environmental impacts, discusses appropriate alternatives to the <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.28"></a><var>14.28</var>proposed action and the alternatives' impacts, and explores methods by which adverse <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.29"></a><var>14.29</var>environmental impacts of an action could be mitigated. The pilot program impact <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.30"></a><var>14.30</var>statement must also analyze those economic, employment, and sociological effects that <br />
         		<a id="pl.14.31"></a><var>14.31</var>cannot be avoided should the action be implemented;<br />

         		<a id="pl.14.34"></a><var>14.34</var>modeling and analysis being contained within the draft pilot program impact statement. <br />
         		<a id="pl.15.1"></a><var>15.1</var>An impact analysis must identify the regulatory requirements, types of impact, and <br />

         		<a id="pl.15.3"></a><var>15.3</var>(6) the responsible governmental unit must follow the procedural notice requirements <br />
         		<a id="pl.15.4"></a><var>15.4</var>for a draft environmental impact statement, final environmental impact statement, and <br />
         		<a id="pl.15.5"></a><var>15.5</var>notice of determination of adequacy for an environmental impact statement.<br />
         		<a id="pl.15.6"></a><var>15.6</var>(d) A project proposed to be processed under the pilot program must meet all of the <br />
         		<a id="pl.15.7"></a><var>15.7</var>following criteria:<br />
         		<a id="pl.15.8"></a><var>15.8</var>(1) the project meets or exceeds the threshold of a project requiring a mandatory <br />
         		<a id="pl.15.9"></a><var>15.9</var>environmental impact statement, or the project proposer and the responsible governmental <br />
         		<a id="pl.15.10"></a><var>15.10</var>unit agree to prepare a pilot program impact statement;<br />
         		<a id="pl.15.11"></a><var>15.11</var>(2) if a combustion source, other than an internal combustion engine, is part of the <br />
         		<a id="pl.15.12"></a><var>15.12</var>project, natural gas is the only fuel that may supply the burners;<br />

         		<a id="pl.15.19"></a><var>15.19</var>(e) A project may not be processed under the pilot program if the project:<br />
