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, detailing the intended use of funds for building construction, site improvements, and capital equipment acquisition.

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 their respective spoke facilities. The funding is designated for various equipment needs, including material-hauling trucks and mobile processing equipment, to enhance the efficiency of waste management operations. The appropriations are one-time and will remain available until they are fully encumbered or expended. The bill also defines terms such as "spoke," "heavy equipment," "capital equipment," "site improvements," and "building" to clarify the scope of the projects funded.
