Wetland replacement ratios modified.

HF 3289 modifies Minnesota's wetland replacement requirements by changing the ratio for agricultural land. It specifies a 1:1 replacement ratio (one acre restored for each acre drained) for wetlands on agricultural land or in areas over 80% agricultural, down from the previous 2:1 ratio required for nonagricultural land. This directly affects developers, farmers, and landowners seeking permits to drain or fill wetlands in agricultural zones. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 103G.222 and 103G.2243 to establish this new standard, clarifying that restored wetlands from previously drained areas may be used for replacement. The change aims to streamline requirements for agricultural land while maintaining wetland protection principles.
