Minnesota HF4764 modifies wetland replacement requirements, prioritizing specific areas for replacement.

Minnesota HF4764 amends wetland replacement requirements by establishing priority areas for replacement. The bill mandates that wetland replacement sites be identified within the same minor watershed, watershed, or wetland bank service area as the impacted wetland. It also allows for the use of wetland banking credits for public transportation projects. The board must establish wetland-replacement ratios and wetland bank service area priorities to implement the siting and targeting of wetland replacement. The bill encourages the use of high priority areas for wetland replacement.
