114C.10 ESTABLISHMENT OF MINNESOTA XL PERMIT PROJECT.
Subdivision 1.
Project. The Pollution Control Agency is authorized to establish and
implement a permit project under sections
114C.10 to
114C.19. The purpose of the project is to
work toward the policy goals listed in section
114C.01 by issuing and studying the effect of
permits that require permittees to reduce overall levels of pollution below what is required by
applicable law, but which grant greater operational flexibility than current law would otherwise
allow. Permits issued under this project shall be called Minnesota XL permits.
Subd. 2.
Report to legislature. By January 15, 1998, the commissioner of the Pollution
Control Agency shall report to the legislature on implementation of the project, the environmental
results of the project, and recommendations for future legislation to further the policy of this
chapter.
