to construct, reconstruct, modify, or operate a facility needing any permit from the
commissioner of natural resources may offer to reimburse the department for the costs
of staff time or consultant services needed to expedite the permit development process,
including the analysis of environmental review documents. The reimbursement shall be in
addition to permit application fees imposed by law. When the commissioner determines
that additional resources are needed to develop the permit application in an expedited
manner, and that expediting the development is consistent with permitting program
priorities, the commissioner may accept the reimbursement. Reimbursements accepted
by the commissioner are appropriated to the commissioner for the purpose of developing
the permit or analyzing environmental review documents. Reimbursement by a permit
applicant shall precede and not be contingent upon issuance of a permit; shall not affect
the commissioner's decision on whether to issue or deny a permit, what conditions are
included in a permit, or the application of state and federal statutes and rules governing
permit determinations; and shall not affect final decisions regarding environmental review.
The agency is hereby given and charged with the
(b) to investigate the extent, character, and effect of the pollution of the waters of
this state and to gather data and information necessary or desirable in the administration
or enforcement of pollution laws, and to make such classification of the waters of the
state as it may deem advisable;
(c) to establish and alter such reasonable pollution standards for any waters of
the state in relation to the public use to which they are or may be put as it shall deem
necessary for the purposes of this chapter and, with respect to the pollution of waters
of the state, chapter 116;
(d) to encourage waste treatment, including advanced waste treatment, instead of
(1) requiring the discontinuance of the discharge of sewage, industrial waste or
other wastes into any waters of the state resulting in pollution in excess of the applicable
pollution standard established under this chapter;

discharge or deposit of sewage, industrial waste or other wastes by any person;
(5) establishing, and from time to time revising, standards of performance for new
of sources, processes, pollution control technology, cost of achieving such effluent
reduction, and any nonwater quality environmental impact and energy requirements.
Said standards of performance for new sources shall encompass those standards for the
control of the discharge of pollutants which reflect the greatest degree of effluent reduction
which the agency determines to be achievable through application of the best available
demonstrated control technology, processes, operating methods, or other alternatives,
including, where practicable, a standard permitting no discharge of pollutants. New
sources shall encompass buildings, structures, facilities, or installations from which there
is or may be the discharge of pollutants, the construction of which is commenced after the
publication by the agency of proposed rules prescribing a standard of performance which
will be applicable to such source. Notwithstanding any other provision of the law of this
state, any point source the construction of which is commenced after May 20, 1973, and
which is so constructed as to meet all applicable standards of performance for new sources
shall, consistent with and subject to the provisions of section 306(d) of the Amendments
of 1972 to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, not be subject to any more stringent
standard of performance for new sources during a ten-year period beginning on the date
of completion of such construction or during the period of depreciation or amortization
of such facility for the purposes of section 167 or 169, or both, of the Federal Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, whichever period ends first. Construction shall encompass any
placement, assembly, or installation of facilities or equipment, including contractual
obligations to purchase such facilities or equipment, at the premises where such equipment
will be used, including preparation work at such premises;

of best available technology, would interfere with the attainment or maintenance of
the water quality classification in a specific portion of the waters of the state. Prior to
determine the relationship of the economic and social costs of achieving such limitation
or limitations, including any economic or social dislocation in the affected community
or communities, to the social and economic benefits to be obtained and to determine
whether or not such effluent limitation can be implemented with available technology or
other alternative control strategies. If a person affected by such limitation demonstrates at
such hearing that, whether or not such technology or other alternative control strategies
are available, there is no reasonable relationship between the economic and social costs
and the benefits to be obtained, such limitation shall not become effective and shall be
adjusted as it applies to such person;

available technology with respect to any point source for which a permit application is
filed after July 1, 1977, upon a showing by the owner or operator of such point source

use of technology within the economic capability of the owner or operator and will result
in reasonable further progress toward the elimination of the discharge of pollutants; and

requirements of this chapter and Minnesota Rules, parts 7050.0150, subpart 8; 7053.0205;

nonpermitted source offset credits make progress toward ensuring attainment of water
quality standards. The agreement of a source to participate in an offset is voluntary. The
agency shall track the pollutant offsets or "trades" implemented under this subdivision.
