2.34 	$2,348,000 the first year and

2.36 	clean water partnership program.  Any
2.37 	balance remaining in the first year
2.38 	does not cancel and is available for
2.39 	the second year.  This appropriation
2.40 	may be used for grants to local units
2.41 	of government for the purpose of
2.42 	restoring impaired waters listed under
2.43 	section 303(d) of the federal Clean

3.1 	$2,324,000 the first year and
3.2 	$2,324,000 the second year must be
3.3 	distributed as grants to delegated
3.4 	counties to administer the county
3.5 	feedlot program.  Distribution of the
3.6 	funds must be conducted according to
3.7 	the following three-part formula:
3.8 	(1) Number of feedlots in the county:
3.9 	60 percent of the total appropriation
3.10 	must be distributed according to the
3.11 	number of feedlots that are required to
3.12 	be registered in the county.  Grants
3.13 	awarded under this clause must be
3.14 	matched with a combination of local
3.15 	cash and in-kind contributions.
3.16 	(2) Minimum program requirements:  25
3.17 	percent of the total appropriation must
3.18 	be distributed based on the county (i)
3.19 	conducting an annual number of
3.20 	inspections at feedlots that is equal
3.21 	to or greater than seven percent of the
3.22 	total number of registered feedlots
3.23 	that are required to be registered in
3.24 	the county; and (ii) meeting
3.25 	noninspection minimum program
3.26 	requirements as identified in the
3.27 	county feedlot workplan form.  Counties
3.28 	that do not meet the inspection
3.29 	requirement must not receive 50 percent
3.30 	of the eligible funding under this
3.31 	clause.  Counties must receive funding
3.32 	for noninspection requirements under
3.33 	this clause according to a scoring
3.34 	system checklist administered by the
3.35 	department.  The commissioner, in
3.36 	consultation with the Minnesota
3.37 	Association of County Feedlot Officers
3.38 	executive team, shall make a final
3.39 	decision regarding any appeal by a
3.40 	county regarding the terms and
3.41 	conditions of this clause.
3.42 	(3) Performance credits:  15 percent of
3.43 	the total appropriation must be
3.44 	distributed according to work that has
3.45 	been done by the counties during the
3.46 	fiscal year.  The amount must be
3.47 	determined by the number of performance
3.48 	credits a county accumulates during the
3.49 	year based on a performance credit
3.50 	matrix jointly agreed upon by the
3.51 	commissioner in consultation with the
3.52 	Minnesota Association of County Feedlot
3.53 	Officers executive team.  To receive an
3.54 	award under this clause the county must
3.55 	meet the requirements of clause (2)(i)
3.56 	and achieve 90 percent of the
3.57 	requirements according to clause
3.58 	(2)(ii) of the formula.  The rate of
3.59 	reimbursement per performance credit
3.60 	item must not exceed $200.
3.61 	Delegated counties are eligible for a
3.62 	minimum grant of $7,500.  To receive
3.63 	the full $7,500 amount a county must
3.64 	meet the requirements under clause (2)
3.65 	of the formula.  Nondelegated counties
3.66 	that apply for delegation shall receive
3.67 	a grant prorated according to the
4.1 	number of full quarters remaining in
4.2 	the program year from the date of
4.3 	commissioner approval of the
4.4 	delegation.  Funds for awards to any
4.5 	newly delegated counties must be made
4.6 	out of the appropriation reserved for
4.7 	clause (3) of the formula.  The
4.8 	commissioner, in consultation with the
4.9 	Minnesota Association of County Feedlot
4.10 	Officers executive team, may decide to
4.11 	use funds reserved for clause (3) of
4.12 	the formula in an amount not to exceed
4.13 	five percent of the total annual
4.14 	appropriation for initiatives to
4.15 	enhance existing delegated county
4.16 	feedlot programs, information and
4.17 	education, or technical assistance
4.18 	efforts to reduce feedlot-related
4.19 	pollution hazards.  Any funds remaining
4.20 	after distribution under clauses (1)
4.21 	and (2) of the formula must be
4.22 	transferred to clause (3) of the
4.23 	formula.  Any money remaining after the
4.24 	first year is available for the second
4.25 	year.
4.26 	$335,000 the first year and $335,000
4.27 	the second year are for community

4.38 	through competitive grant programs for
