Bill > HF945

This bill appropriates $3,500,000 from Minnesota's clean water fund to the commissioner of natural resources in fiscal year 2026, specifically to provide a grant to the city of Hutchinson for a lake restoration project. The funding is designated for Phase 2 of an environmental improvement initiative that will focus on Otter Lake and Campbell Lake, as well as the south fork of the Crow River and its associated tributaries. The project's scope includes comprehensive water quality enhancement efforts, encompassing predesign, design, engineering, and construction activities, with a specific mention of installing a forebay (a type of sediment control structure that helps improve water quality by trapping pollutants and sediment before they enter a larger water body). This appropriation represents a continued investment in local environmental restoration and water resource management.
