The bill appropriates $7,267,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Pollution Control Agency for a grant to the Prairie Lakes Municipal Solid Waste Authority. This funding will be used by Otter Tail County, on behalf of the joint powers board that includes Clay, Becker, Wadena, Otter Tail, and Todd Counties, to predesign, design, and construct an ash recovery and recycling waste processing plant. The facility aims to divert ash from landfills for use in road construction and recover ferrous and nonferrous metals. Additionally, the bill provides for the construction of a waste transfer station to handle municipal solid waste and demolition waste for transfer to regional facilities.

To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $7,267,000, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The effective date of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
