This bill appropriates a total of $50,306,251 for the development of a nine-county regional waste management system in northwest Minnesota, which includes funding from both bond proceeds and the general fund. Specifically, $34,588,148 is allocated from the bond proceeds fund to the Pollution Control Agency for grants to nine counties, enabling the construction of a new lined regional debris disposal facility in Hubbard County and 12 mixed-use collection and processing facilities across the counties of Beltrami, Cass, Clearwater, Hubbard, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Polk, and Red Lake. The bill outlines specific grant amounts for each county to support various aspects of the waste management system, including the design and construction of new buildings, site improvements, and the acquisition of capital equipment.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $15,718,103 from the general fund for grants to the same nine counties to acquire heavy equipment, containers, or trailers for spoke facilities within the regional waste management system. The funding is designated for specific counties to enhance their capabilities in managing waste, with detailed allocations provided for each county's needs. The bill emphasizes that these appropriations are one-time and will remain available until they are encumbered or expended, ensuring that the funds are utilized effectively for the intended purpose of improving waste management infrastructure in the region.
