The bill appropriates $500,000 from the clean water fund for a water quality project in the city of Beardsley. This funding is designated for the Board of Water and Soil Resources to provide a grant aimed at removing, replacing, or repairing a section of the drain line within the gravity pipe system that facilitates the removal of excess water from Dry Lake. The project is intended to enhance water quality and mitigate flooding risks.
Additionally, the city of Beardsley is required to collaborate with the Upper Minnesota River Watershed District in executing this project. This partnership is essential for ensuring that the project aligns with broader watershed management goals and effectively addresses water quality concerns in the area.
