2005 Minnesota Statutes - 103F.179 — Selection of projects.

     103F.179 Selection of projects. 


    Subdivision 1.    Evaluation of area and sites; federal 
 cooperation.  Before a grant is made, a priority system shall 
 be devised for the selection of projects to receive the aid.  
 The Board of Water and Soil Resources is the granting authority 
 and shall cooperate with the United States Army Corps of 
 Engineers, the Department of Natural Resources, the United 
 States Soil Conservation Service and the Area II Action 
 Committee in analysis of the general floodplain management plan 
 for the area and in hydrological and engineering studies on 
 specific proposed sites.  From that information, the Board of 
 Water and Soil Resources shall determine the relative severity 
 of the flooding problem which would be wholly or partly solved 
 by each project.  The range of priorities based on these 
 findings shall provide a basis for selection of project sites. 


    Subd. 2.    Project requirement for each watershed.  
 Notwithstanding the requirement in subdivision 1 that project 
 selection be based on a priority system, not more than one 
 project may be located within any one of the Cottonwood, Lac Qui 
 Parle, Redwood, Yellow Medicine, and Yellow Bank Rivers' 
 watersheds unless agreed upon by the Area II Action Committee 
 composed of representatives of each of those watersheds.
