Bill > SF3677

This bill exempts certain agricultural land in specific Minnesota counties from the requirement to create a wetland replacement plan when impacts occur, meaning landowners in Clay, Koochiching, Lake of the Woods, Norman, Roseau, Stearns, or St. Louis County will not need to replace wetlands if the land was consistently used for annually seeded crops or crop rotation for pasture, cover crops, or legumes, or was fallow for crop production, in eight out of the ten years prior to the impact. This exemption is intended to provide relief for agricultural activities on land that has a history of such uses, aligning with existing federal farm program restrictions and agreements.
