Bonding for urban storm water, flood control, and riparian restoration
Under current law, the state may contract up to $57,600,000 in public debt to provide financial assistance for projects that manage urban storm water and runoff and for flood control and riparian restoration projects. This bill increases the bonding authority for these projects by $12,000,000 and allocates $8,000,000 of those amounts in fiscal biennium 2021-23 for cost-sharing grants under the municipal flood control and riparian restoration program administered by DNR under current law. The program provides financial assistance to local units of government for facilities and structures for the collection and transmission of storm water and groundwater and for the floodproofing of public and private structures that remain in the 100-year floodplain.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
