$2,348,000 the first year and
$2,348,000 the second year are for the
clean water partnership program. Any
balance remaining in the first year
does not cancel and is available for
the second year. This appropriation
may be used for grants to local units
of government for the purpose of
restoring impaired waters listed under
section 303(d) of the federal Clean
Water Act in accordance with adopted
total maximum daily loads (TMDLs),
including implementation of approved
clean water partnership diagnostic
study work plans that will assist in
restoration of such impaired waters.

$2,324,000 the first year and
$2,324,000 the second year must be
distributed as grants to delegated
counties to administer the county
feedlot program. Distribution of the
funds must be conducted according to
the following three-part formula:

(1) Number of feedlots in the county:
60 percent of the total appropriation
must be distributed according to the
number of feedlots that are required to
be registered in the county. Grants
awarded under this clause must be
matched with a combination of local
cash and in-kind contributions.

(2) Minimum program requirements: 25
percent of the total appropriation must
be distributed based on the county (i)
conducting an annual number of
inspections at feedlots that is equal
to or greater than seven percent of the
total number of registered feedlots
that are required to be registered in
the county; and (ii) meeting
noninspection minimum program
requirements as identified in the
county feedlot workplan form. Counties
that do not meet the inspection
requirement must not receive 50 percent
of the eligible funding under this
clause. Counties must receive funding
for noninspection requirements under
this clause according to a scoring
system checklist administered by the
department. The commissioner, in
consultation with the Minnesota
Association of County Feedlot Officers
executive team, shall make a final
decision regarding any appeal by a
county regarding the terms and
conditions of this clause.

(3) Performance credits: 15 percent of
the total appropriation must be
distributed according to work that has
been done by the counties during the
fiscal year. The amount must be
determined by the number of performance
credits a county accumulates during the
year based on a performance credit
matrix jointly agreed upon by the
commissioner in consultation with the
Minnesota Association of County Feedlot
Officers executive team. To receive an
award under this clause the county must
meet the requirements of clause (2)(i)
and achieve 90 percent of the
requirements according to clause
(2)(ii) of the formula. The rate of
reimbursement per performance credit
item must not exceed $200.

Delegated counties are eligible for a
minimum grant of $7,500. To receive
the full $7,500 amount a county must
meet the requirements under clause (2)
of the formula. Nondelegated counties
that apply for delegation shall receive
a grant prorated according to the
number of full quarters remaining in
the program year from the date of
commissioner approval of the
delegation. Funds for awards to any
newly delegated counties must be made
out of the appropriation reserved for
clause (3) of the formula. The
commissioner, in consultation with the
Minnesota Association of County Feedlot
Officers executive team, may decide to
use funds reserved for clause (3) of
the formula in an amount not to exceed
five percent of the total annual
appropriation for initiatives to
enhance existing delegated county
feedlot programs, information and
education, or technical assistance
efforts to reduce feedlot-related
pollution hazards. Any funds remaining
after distribution under clauses (1)
and (2) of the formula must be
transferred to clause (3) of the
formula. Any money remaining after the
first year is available for the second
year.

$335,000 the first year and $335,000
the second year are for community
technical assistance and education,
including grants and technical
assistance to communities for local and
basinwide water quality protection.

the second year are for individual
sewage treatment system (ISTS)
administration and grants. Of this
amount, $86,000 in each year is for
assistance to local units of government
through competitive grant programs for
ISTS program development. Any
unexpended balance in the first year
does not cancel but is available in the
second year.

$480,000 the first year and $480,000
the second year are from the
environmental fund to address the need
for continued increased activity in the
areas of new technology review,
technical assistance for local
governments, and enforcement under
Minnesota Statutes, sections 115.55 to
115.58, and to complete the
requirements of Laws 2003, chapter 128,
article 1, sections 164 and 165. Of
this amount, $48,000 each year is for
administration of individual septic
tank fees, as provided in Minnesota
Statutes, section 115.551.
