Minnesota SF4976 requires financial assurance for feedlot permits and mandates reports on abandoned manure storage areas.

Minnesota SF4976 mandates that permit applicants for feedlots with a capacity of 1,000 or more animal units submit proof of financial assurance to cover closure costs. The bill also requires the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to compile lists of abandoned manure storage areas and develop a compliance schedule for permittees.
