Sec. 18.

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 116.07, subdivision 2, is amended to read:


Subd. 2.

Adopting standards.

(a) The Pollution Control Agency shall improve air
quality by promoting, in the most practicable way possible, the use of energy sources and
waste disposal methods which produce or emit the least air contaminants consistent with
the agency's overall goal of reducing all forms of pollution. The agency shall also adopt
standards of air quality, not including maximum allowable standards of emission of air
contaminants from motor vehicles, recognizing that due to variable factors, no single standard
of purity of air is applicable to all areas of the state. In adopting standards the Pollution
Control Agency shall give due recognition to the fact that the quantity or characteristics of
air contaminants or the duration of their presence in the atmosphere, which may cause air
pollution in one area of the state, may cause less or not cause any air pollution in another
area of the state, and it shall take into consideration in this connection such factors, including
others which it may deem proper, as existing physical conditions, zoning classifications,
topography, prevailing wind directions and velocities, and the fact that a standard of air
quality which may be proper as to an essentially residential area of the state, may not be
proper as to a highly developed industrial area of the state. Such standards of air quality
shall be premised upon scientific knowledge of causes as well as effects based on technically
substantiated criteria and commonly accepted practices. No local government unit shall set
standards of air quality which are more stringent than those set by the Pollution Control
Agency.

(b) The Pollution Control Agency shall promote solid waste disposal control by
encouraging the updating of collection systems, elimination of open dumps, and
improvements in incinerator practices. The agency shall also adopt standards for the control
of the collection, transportation, storage, processing, and disposal of solid waste and sewage
sludge for the prevention and abatement of water, air, and land pollution, recognizing that
due to variable factors, no single standard of control is applicable to all areas of the state.
In adopting standards, the Pollution Control Agency shall give due recognition to the fact
that elements of control which may be reasonable and proper in densely populated areas of
the state may be unreasonable and improper in sparsely populated or remote areas of the
state, and it shall take into consideration in this connection such factors, including others
which it may deem proper, as existing physical conditions, topography, soils and geology,
climate, transportation, and land use. Such standards of control shall be premised on technical
criteria and commonly accepted practices.

(c) The Pollution Control Agency shall also adopt standards describing the maximum
levels of noise in terms of sound pressure level which may occur in the outdoor atmosphere,
recognizing that due to variable factors no single standard of sound pressure is applicable
to all areas of the state. Such standards shall give due consideration to such factors as the
intensity of noises, the types of noises, the frequency with which noises recur, the time
period for which noises continue, the times of day during which noises occur, and such
other factors as could affect the extent to which noises may be injurious to human health
or welfare, animal or plant life, or property, or could interfere unreasonably with the
enjoyment of life or property. In adopting standards, the Pollution Control Agency shall
give due recognition to the fact that the quantity or characteristics of noise or the duration
of its presence in the outdoor atmosphere, which may cause noise pollution in one area of
the state, may cause less or not cause any noise pollution in another area of the state, and
it shall take into consideration in this connection such factors, including others which it
may deem proper, as existing physical conditions, zoning classifications, topography,
meteorological conditions and the fact that a standard which may be proper in an essentially
residential area of the state, may not be proper as to a highly developed industrial area of
the state. Such noise standards shall be premised upon scientific knowledge as well as effects
based on technically substantiated criteria and commonly accepted practices. No local
governing unit shall set standards describing the maximum levels of sound pressure which
are more stringent than those set by the Pollution Control Agency.

(d) The Pollution Control Agency shall adopt standards for the identification of hazardous
waste and for the management, identification, labeling, classification, storage, collection,
transportation, processing, and disposal of hazardous waste, recognizing that due to variable
factors, a single standard of hazardous waste control may not be applicable to all areas of
the state. In adopting standards, the Pollution Control Agency shall recognize that elements
of control which may be reasonable and proper in densely populated areas of the state may
be unreasonable and improper in sparsely populated or remote areas of the state. The agency
shall consider existing physical conditions, topography, soils, and geology, climate,
transportation and land use. Standards of hazardous waste control shall be premised on
technical knowledge, and commonly accepted practices. Hazardous waste generator licenses
may be issued for a term not to exceed five years. No local government unit shall set
standards of hazardous waste control which are in conflict or inconsistent with those set by
the Pollution Control Agency.

(e) A person who generates less than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste per month is
exempt from the following agency hazardous waste rules:

(1) rules relating to transportation, manifesting, storage, and labeling for photographic
fixer and x-ray negative wastes that are hazardous solely because of silver content; and

(2) any rule requiring the generator to send to the agency or commissioner a copy of
each manifest for the transportation of hazardous waste for off-site treatment, storage, or
disposal, except that counties within the metropolitan area may require generators to provide
manifests.

Nothing in this paragraph exempts the generator from the agency's rules relating to on-site
accumulation or outdoor storage. A political subdivision or other local unit of government
may not adopt management requirements that are more restrictive than this paragraph.

(f) In any rulemaking proceeding under chapter 14 to adopt standards for air quality,
solid waste, or hazardous waste under this chapter, or standards for water quality under
chapter 115, the statement of need and reasonableness must include:

(1) an assessment of any differences between the proposed rule and:

(i) existing federal standards adopted under the Clean Air Act, United States Code, title
42, section 7412(b)(2); the Clean Water Act, United States Code, title 33, sections 1312(a)
and 1313(c)(4); and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, United States Code, title
42, section 6921(b)(1);

(ii) similar standards in states bordering Minnesota; and

(iii) similar standards in states within the Environmental Protection Agency Region 5;
and

(2) a specific analysis of the need and reasonableness of each difference.

or other disqualifying offense, or been adjudicated mentally incompetent, or, if so, my voting
rights have been reinstated; and I am not registering, requesting a ballot, or voting in any
other jurisdiction in the United States except the jurisdiction cited in this voting form. In
voting, I have marked and sealed my ballot in private and have not allowed any person to
observe the marking of the ballot, except for those authorized to assist voters under state or
federal law. I have not been influenced.

The information on this form is true, accurate, and complete to the best of my knowledge.

or certificates of voter eligibility that are attached to the secrecy envelopes and mark them
"accepted" or "rejected" during the 45 days before the election. If an envelope has been
rejected at least five days before the election, the ballots in the envelope must be considered
spoiled ballots and the official in charge of the absentee ballot board must provide the voter
with a replacement absentee ballot and return envelope envelopes in place of the spoiled
ballot.

(c) If a county has delegated the responsibility for administering absentee balloting to
a municipality under section 203B.05, accepted absentee ballots must be delivered to the

Subdivision 1.

Check of voter eligibility; proper execution of certificate.

Upon receipt
of an absentee ballot returned as provided in sections 203B.16 to 203B.27, the election
judges shall compare the voter's name with the names recorded under section 203B.19 in
the statewide registration system to insure that the ballot is from a voter eligible to cast an
absentee ballot under sections 203B.16 to 203B.27. The election judges shall mark the
signature envelope "Accepted" and initial or sign the signature envelope below the word
"Accepted" if the election judges are satisfied that:

(1) the voter's name and address on the signature envelope appears in substantially the
same form as on the application records provided to the election judges by the county auditor;

(2) the voter has signed the federal oath prescribed pursuant to section 705(b)(2) of the
Help America Vote Act, Public Law 107-252;

(3) the voter has set forth the same voter's passport number, or Minnesota driver's license
or state identification card number, or the last four digits of the voter's Social Security
number as submitted on the application, if the voter has one of these documents;

(4) the voter is not known to have died; and

(5) the voter has not already voted at that election, either in person or by absentee ballot.

If the identification number described in clause (3) does not match the number as
submitted on the application, the election judges must make a reasonable effort to satisfy
themselves through other information provided by the applicant, or by an individual
authorized to apply on behalf of the voter, that the ballots were returned by the same person
to whom the ballots were transmitted.

An absentee ballot cast pursuant to sections 203B.16 to 203B.27 may only be rejected
for the lack of one of clauses (1) to (5). In particular, failure to place the ballot within the
secrecy envelope before placing it in the outer white signature envelope is not a reason to
reject an absentee ballot.

Election judges must note the reason for rejection on the back of the envelope in the
space provided for that purpose.

Failure to return unused ballots shall not invalidate a marked ballot, but a ballot shall
not be counted if the certificate on the return signature envelope is not properly executed.
In all other respects the provisions of the Minnesota Election Law governing deposit and
counting of ballots shall apply. Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the counting
of the absentee ballot of a deceased voter does not invalidate the election.

does not interfere with a tabulator's ability to accurately read the ballot. At a federal or state
election, the form of the security marking must be prescribed by the secretary of state. At
a local election, the form of the security marking must be prescribed by the county auditor

Subdivision 1.

Definitions.

For the purposes of this section, the following definitions
apply.

(a) "Life-cycle cost" is the sum of the cost of the initial pavement project and all
anticipated costs for maintenance, repair, and resurfacing over the life of the pavement.
Anticipated costs must be based on Minnesota's actual or reasonably projected maintenance,
repair, and resurfacing schedules, and costs determined by the Department of Transportation
district personnel based upon recently awarded local projects and experience with local
material costs.

(b) (a) "Life-cycle cost analysis" or "analysis" is a comparison of life-cycle costs among
competing paving materials using equal design lives and equal comparison periods. process
for evaluating the total economic worth of a usable project segment by analyzing initial
costs and discounted future costs, such as maintenance, user costs, reconstruction,
rehabilitation, restoring, and resurfacing costs, over the life of the project segment.

(b) "Minimum requirements" is a combination of pavement, base, and subbase materials
that minimizes the total system cost to achieve the specified design performance
requirements. Design performance requirements are based on design traffic volumes,
reliability, standard deviation, pavement structural characteristics, and various material
properties for structural design.

(c) "Pavement" is any material used for paved traffic lanes, typically asphalt or concrete,
including the underlying materials inherent to each pavement alternative considered.

(d) "Rounded value" means a measurement that is rounded to the nearest half-inch
increment.

(e) "Shoulder" is the portion of the roadway contiguous with the traveled way, outside
of the edge of the pavement for accommodation of stopped vehicles, emergency use, and
lateral support of base and surface courses.

(f) "Substantial plan development" is the point in time during the plan development
process after which any further activities would preclude any of the feasible alternatives
from being selected or constructed.

(g) "Superfluous materials" are materials that are in excess of rounded values and that
are not necessary to meet the minimum requirements for a feasible alternative.

Subd. 2.

Required analysis.

(a) For each project in the reconditioning, resurfacing, and
road repair funding categories any project with 15,000 or more square yards of paving, the
commissioner shall must perform a life-cycle cost analysis and shall document the lowest
life-cycle costs and all alternatives considered. The commissioner shall document the chosen
pavement strategy and, if the lowest life cycle is not selected, document the justification
for the chosen strategy. A life-cycle cost analysis is required for projects to be constructed
after July 1, 2011. For projects to be constructed prior to July 1, 2011, when feasible, the
department will use its best efforts to perform life-cycle cost analyses. and document the
chosen pavement strategy as provided by this section. The commissioner must perform the
life-cycle cost analysis prior to substantial plan development.

(b) When conducting a life-cycle cost analysis, the commissioner must:

(1) derive initial and future costs from Minnesota-based historical data of roadways with
similar characteristics, including but not limited to similar geographical location, rural or
urban classification, traffic volumes, construction practices, staging, and vehicle classification
percentages;

(2) determine the analysis period based on the longest design life of all feasible
alternatives or 60 years, whichever is longer;

(3) compensate for any life added or lost due to rounding if pavement thickness is rounded
up or down;

(4) ensure that each feasible alternative being considered in the analysis meets the
minimum requirements for that alternative and must consider only the pavement, base, and
subbase materials that are required to meet the minimum criteria for that alternative;

(5) identify all feasible alternatives, including a full range of rehabilitation strategies for
both rigid and flexible pavements, which must, at a minimum, include thin asphalt overlay
of less than four inches, thin concrete overlay of four inches to six inches, thick asphalt of
greater than or equal to four inches, and thick concrete options greater than six inches;

(6) include agency costs, including but not limited to initial pavement, future rehabilitation
and maintenance projects, overhead, design, contract administration, and routine maintenance;

(7) mobilization costs related to construction, maintenance, or rehabilitation;

(8) costs for traffic control to protect workers and the public during each construction,
maintenance, or rehabilitation activity in the analysis;

(9) add the annual excess fuel consumption costs, as calculated in subdivision 2a, as an
annual pavement cost;

(10) identify and use realistic timing of future maintenance and construction practices
using similar characteristics, including but not limited to similar geographical location, rural
or urban classification, traffic volumes, construction practices, staging, and vehicle
classification percentages;

(11) for each feasible alternative with residual service life at the end of the analysis
period, calculate the value of any residual service life and include it as a credit in the final
year of the analysis period;

(12) include an explanation of the methodology used to produce the cost estimate and
why that method was selected; and

(13) include an explanation of the timing selected of rehabilitation and maintenance and
why that timing was selected.

(1) elements that are the same for all alternatives;

(2) life-cycle calculations for shoulder pavement, shoulder base, or shoulder subbase;
and

(3) any superfluous material that is included as part of the feasible alternative but is not
required to meet the minimum requirements of the feasible alternative, including any material
that may be included due to the designer's preference or recommendation in the department's
Pavement Design Manual. This clause does not preclude the commissioner from selecting
a pavement strategy that uses superfluous materials, but the superfluous materials must not
be a factor in making the selection.
