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, which includes the use of innovative nonchemical technologies, infrastructure development, invasive weed control, carp management, training, and maintenance. This funding is 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 initiative aims to improve the overall ecological health of the lake and ensure sustainable management of its resources.
