GWMAP will <br />monitor and assess statewide groundwater <br />quality trends in areas where groundwater is <br />vulnerable due to land uses and geology; <br />accelerate the statewide assessment of baseline <br />groundwater quality in Minnesota's 14 principal <br />aquifers; and, in conjunction with local <br />governments, investigate unique groundwater <br />quality problems and conduct regional <br />monitoring.

These include new <br />funds for Clean Water Partnership projects; for a <br />statistically-based monitoring network for the <br />state's rivers to provide an accurate overall <br />picture of river quality; and a program to monitor <br />the use and effectiveness of feedlot best <br />management practices. New projects funded <br />through the Legislature Commission on <br />Minnesota Resources (LCMR) will evaluate <br />earthen manure storage basins and vegetated <br />filter strips for effects on ground and surface <br />water quality; and will develop and demonstrate <br />alternative designs for septic systems in areas <br />with seasonally high water tables anal for <br />removal of nitrogen by septic systems. <br />Point source programs <br />The Legislature established a Blue Ribbon <br />Commission, to be appointed by the Governor, to <br />address the structure and funding of the state's <br />point source program (wastewater discharges). <br />The Commission will report to the Governor and <br />Legislature by November 30, 1996, on various <br />issues, including characteristics of an adequate <br />point source permitting program, costs and how <br />costs should be allocated, permit fees, and <br />improving public access to information on toxic <br />pollutants in permitted discharges. <br />elf auditing for small <br />business <br />Anew law will provide amnesty to small <br />businesses that voluntarily review their <br />compliance with environmental laws, report <br />violations to the MPCA, and commit to a <br />schedule to correct those violations.
