Minnesota SF4275 mandates an environmental impact statement for large livestock projects.

Minnesota SF4275 requires the Environmental Quality Board to amend state rules, mandating an environmental impact statement for the construction of an animal feedlot facility with a capacity of 10,000 or more animal units. This applies to both new facilities and expansions of existing ones. The commissioner can use a good-cause exemption to adopt these rules. The changes take effect the day after final enactment and apply to applications submitted on or after that date.
