Modifies notice requirements for water discharges in Minnesota, exempting small petroleum discharges and requiring prompt notification to downstream.

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to modify notice requirements for water discharges. It exempts discharges of five gallons or less of petroleum from the notification requirement. It mandates that owners of publicly or privately owned domestic sewer systems must promptly notify potentially impacted downstream users, including the public and Tribal governments, of any discharge. The notice must include details such as the date and time of the discharge, a description of the material, a warning of potential public health risks, and the permittee's contact information.
