The bill appropriates $1,250,000 from the clean water fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the Board of Water and Soil Resources. This funding is designated for grants to Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Wabasha, and Winona Counties, aimed at cleaning out and reestablishing upslope earthen dams and associated flood protection structures.

Additionally, the bill mandates that by October 1, 2026, any county receiving a grant must submit a report to the legislative committees overseeing environment and natural resources detailing how the grant funds were utilized. Importantly, the bill stipulates that none of the appropriated funds may be used by the Board of Water and Soil Resources or the counties for administrative costs.
