§ Subdivision 1. Site management practices.

§ Subd. 2. Recognition of beneficial habitat.

An owner making a beneficial habitat claim must: (1) make the site's vegetation management plan available to the public; (2) provide a copy of the plan to a Minnesota nonprofit solar industry trade association; and (3) report on its site management practices to the Board of Water and Soil Resources, on a standard reporting form developed by the board for solar site management practices, by June 1, 2020, and every third year thereafter.
