PROPOSED RESOLUTION
A RESOLUTION REGARDING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE MINNESOTA WETLAND CONSERVATION ACT
body
The Rock County Land Management Office is requesting cities in Rock County to adopt a resolution allowing the Rock Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to continue administering the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) within city boundaries, following a review by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) that found the original designation did not explicitly include city areas. The proposed resolution delegates the authority and administrative responsibility to implement the WCA within the legal boundaries of the City of Luverne to the Rock SWCD. This resolution supersedes a previous resolution from 1993 and requires notification to BWSR, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Soil and Water Conservation District within 15 business days of adoption. The resolution aims to ensure compliance with WCA regulations and maintain effective wetland conservation management.
recommendation
