This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1992), authored by Representative Pursell, proposes an appropriation of $150,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $150,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the Clean Water Fund. The funds would be allocated to the Commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency for grants to Friends of the Minnesota Valley to enhance and expand the River Watch Program. This program involves water quality and watershed monitoring activities in schools within the Minnesota River Basin watershed. Additionally, Clean River Partners would collaborate to implement a similar program in the Cannon River Basin watershed. By February 15, 2027, Friends of the Minnesota Valley must submit a report detailing the expenditure of these funds to the commissioner and relevant legislative committees overseeing environment, natural resources finance, policy, and the Clean Water Fund.
