Wetland replacement requirements modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's wetland replacement rules to establish a specific priority order for where new wetlands must be created when existing ones are damaged. It requires that replacement wetlands be sited in the same minor watershed, then the same watershed, then the same wetland bank service area, and finally in other service areas, unless certain older banking credits are used for public transportation projects. The law also defines what counts as a reasonable replacement opportunity, emphasizing sites that work with natural conditions, are likely to function long-term, and won't harm other habitats. Additionally, it mandates collaboration between agencies to find replacement sites and requires the state board to set replacement ratios and prioritize high-value areas for restoration.
