Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Environment
Water quality
Under current law, DNR administers a program that provides financial assistance for projects that control pollution that comes from diffuse sources rather than a single concentrated discharge source (nonpoint source water pollution) in areas that qualify as high priority due to water quality problems. DNR also provides financial assistance for animal feeding operations to implement best management practices for animal waste management. This bill increases the general obligation bonding authority for these programs by $7,000,000.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
