Financial assurance requirement for certain feedlot permits

Summary

The bill adds a new rule that any feedlot with 1,000 or more animal units must show the state it has enough money set aside to cover closure and cleanup costs before a permit is issued or renewed. It also directs the Pollution Control Agency to identify and report abandoned manure storage areas across Minnesota. The goal is to ensure that feedlots can be properly closed and that neglected manure sites are tracked for remediation.
