     103F.405 Soil loss ordinances. 


    Subdivision 1.    Authority.  Each statutory or home 
 rule charter city, town, or county that has planning and zoning 
 authority under sections 366.10 to 366.19, 394.21 to 394.37, or 
 462.351 to 462.365 is encouraged to adopt a soil loss 
 ordinance.  The soil loss ordinance must use the soil loss 
 tolerance for each soil series described in the United States 
 Soil Conservation Service Field Office Technical Guide to 
 determine the soil loss limits, but the soil loss limits must be 
 attainable by the best practicable soil conservation practice.  
 Ordinances adopted by local governments within the metropolitan 
 area defined in section 473.121 must be consistent with local 
 water management plans adopted under section 103B.235.  


    Subd. 2.    Agents of local governments.  A local 
 government that adopts a soil loss ordinance may enter an 
 agreement with its agent allowing the agent to administer the 
 functions and perform the duties of the local government as 
 provided by sections 103F.401 to 103F.455.
