The bill proposes an appropriation of funds to enhance water quality in Upper Twin Lake, located in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates an unspecified amount from the general fund to the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency for a two-year water-quality improvement project. This funding is intended for the Twin Lake Association to implement innovative nonchemical technologies, infrastructure improvements, invasive weed control, carp management, training, and maintenance, with the appropriation available until June 30, 2028.
Additionally, the bill includes a separate appropriation from the general fund to the commissioner of natural resources to support the Twin Lake Association in addressing increased weed-harvesting needs at Upper Twin Lake. This dual funding approach aims to comprehensively tackle water quality issues and enhance the ecological health of the lake.
