SF 3091 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Agricultural waste handling regulations modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's agricultural waste handling rules to improve oversight and environmental protection. It requires record retention for sewage sludge transfers (including date, amount, and parties involved) and prohibits applying fertilizer, animal waste, or sewage sludge to impervious surfaces like roads or parking lots. The bill also clarifies the Department of Agriculture's role in regulating PFAS-containing fertilizers and reduces duplication for distributors by allowing shared data submissions. These changes directly affect farmers, fertilizer distributors, and waste handlers by imposing new documentation requirements and restricting certain disposal practices.
