- '^~ater BilllBoard <br />lean tr rtnrshi <br />application cycle will begin i <br />t r <br />project proposals. Ranking is based on criteria <br />set forth in Minn. Rules pt. 7076.0170. One of <br />the ranking criteria requires identification of the <br />water of concern and the pollution problem in an <br />approved local water plan. <br />The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) <br />will announce the eighth application cycle for the <br />Clean Water Partnership (CWP) program in the <br />September 18, 1995, State Register. <br />Applications will be accepted for CWP projects <br />until November 29, 1995. <br />The purpose of the CWP program is to improve <br />water quality by providing financial and technical <br />assistance to local units of government. <br />Assistance is provided for projects that address <br />nonpoint source pollution of lakes, streams, and <br />aquifers. Projects can be of two types: resource <br />investigation projects that involve completion of a <br />diagnostic study and implementation plan (Phase <br />I project); or project implementation (Phase II <br />project). <br />CWP projects are funded through grants and <br />loans. The CWP Loan Program was established <br />by the 1994 Minnesota Legislature to provide <br />low-interest loans to local units of govemment for <br />the implementation of best management <br />practices (BMPs) that are designed to reduce <br />nonpoint source pollution. The loans are funded <br />through the State Revolving Fund (SRF). The <br />CWP Loan Program supplements the CWP <br />Grant Program by increasing the amount of <br />financial assistance available for nonpoint source <br />pollution control projects. <br />The loans can be used for projects that have <br />completed the resource investigation phase <br />(Phase I) and are entering the implementation <br />phase (Phase II). It is not required that the <br />project go through the CWP resource <br />investigation phase; however, a diagnostic study <br />and implementation plan must first be approved <br />by the MPCA before a Phase II application will <br />be considered. <br />The grants are for a maximum of 50 percent of <br />the eligible cost of the project.. Funding of <br />projects will be based on priority ranking of the <br />If you are interested in applying for this program, <br />application packets for Phase I or Phase II <br />projects will be available by mid-September and <br />may be obtained by calling 612-296-7221. If you <br />have any further questions, please call Celine <br />Lyman at 612-296-8862. <br />begins revision the <br />feedlot rule (c. 7020) <br />Over the next several years, the MPCA will <br />revise the state's animal feedlot rules (Minn. <br />Rules Chapter 7020). Minnesota's Feedlot Rules <br />Chapter 7020 were first adopted during the early <br />1970s. Although the rules have been amended <br />twice, the last. major revision occurred in 1978; <br />changes in Minnesota agriculture since then <br />have led the MPCA to make revision of the <br />feedlot rule a priority. <br />The MPCA began its rulemaking process in May <br />1995. During the spring and summer of 1995, <br />the MPCA has been asking the public to submit <br />comments regarding the changes they wish to <br />see in the feedlot rule. By the end of the <br />summer, using public comments, the MPCA will <br />finalize the list of issues that should be <br />addressed over the course of the rule revision <br />process. During the fall and winter, the MPCA <br />will begin to draft rule amendments. By the <br />spring of 1996, MPCA staff will have developed <br />a first draft of the amended feedlot rule. Public <br />hearings on the feedlot rule will take place in the <br />fall of 1996. <br />MPCA is aware that the feedlot rule revision will <br />be of great interest to agricultural producers and <br />other organizations in Minnesota. For that <br />reason, the MPCA will do its best to inform <br />interested parties of critical issues and will <br />sponsor a number of events to familiarize the <br />public with the content of the proposed rule. <br />10 <br />
