Bill > SF2782

This bill removes two obsolete provisions related to the Environmental Quality Board from Minnesota Statutes. Specifically, it repeals section 116C.04, subdivision 11, which required the Environmental Quality Board to coordinate implementation of lead regulations and report to the legislature by January 31, 1992 (a deadline that has long since passed), and section 116C.991, which outlined specific environmental review requirements for silica sand projects. The repealed section on silica sand projects previously mandated that environmental assessment worksheets be prepared for large-scale silica sand projects, requiring detailed investigations into groundwater effects, air quality, traffic impacts, and other environmental considerations. By removing these sections, the bill eliminates outdated regulatory requirements that are no longer relevant or necessary, effectively cleaning up the state's statutory code and removing provisions that have either been completed or are no longer applicable.
