McLeod County, MN | I was browsing through the text of the bill passed out of the MN special session last night. I think I got most of the talking points correct, but DO NOT rely on my word 100%.
1. For lakes, rivers, swamps, natural streams a buffer of at least 30-50 ft will need to be installed in perennial rooted vegetation by Nov 1, 2017 with a minimum of 50 ft average.
2. For all man made drainage ditches a buffer of at least 16.5ft will need to be installed in perennial rooted vegetation by Nov 1, 2018.
3. Looks like Soil, Water and Conservation is gonna be in charge of administering this.
4. This land can be enrolled in CRP program
5. Water access, beaches, landing, and all kinds of other stuff are exempt (140.6)
You can read through on your own. Find it starting on page 138. 138.7 to be exact:
