9.20effects resulting from any major governmental action, the action shall be preceded by a
9.21detailed environmental impact statement prepared by the responsible governmental unit.
9.22The environmental impact statement shall be an analytical rather than an encyclopedic
9.23document which describes the proposed action in detail, analyzes its significant
9.24environmental impacts, discusses appropriate alternatives to the proposed action and
9.25their impacts, and explores methods by which adverse environmental impacts of an
9.26action could be mitigated. The environmental impact statement shall also analyze those
9.27economic, employment and sociological effects that cannot be avoided should the action
9.28be implemented. To ensure its use in the decision-making process, the environmental
9.29impact statement shall be prepared as early as practical in the formulation of an action.

10.7the ethanol plant meets or exceeds thresholds of other categories of actions for which
10.8environmental assessment worksheets must be prepared. The responsible governmental
10.9unit for an ethanol plant project for which an environmental assessment worksheet is
10.10prepared shall be the state agency with the greatest responsibility for supervising or
10.11approving the project as a whole. A mandatory environmental impact statement shall
10.12not be required for a facility or plant located outside the seven-county metropolitan
10.13area, that produce less than 125,000,000 gallons of ethanol, biobutanol, or cellulosic
10.14biofuel annually, if the facility or plant is: an ethanol plant, as defined in section 41A.09,
10.15subdivision 2a, paragraph (b); a biobutanol facility, as defined in section 41A.105,
10.16subdivision 1a, clause (1); or a cellulosic biofuel facility as defined in section 41A.10,
10.17subdivision 1, paragraph (d).

10.22may be submitted to the responsible governmental unit during a 30-day period following
10.23publication of the notice that an environmental assessment worksheet has been completed.
10.24The responsible governmental unit's decision on the need for an environmental impact
10.25statement shall be based on the environmental assessment worksheet and the comments
10.26received during the comment period, and shall be made within 15 days after the close of
10.27the comment period. The board's chair may extend the 15-day period by not more than 15
10.28additional days upon the request of the responsible governmental unit.
10.29    (c) An environmental assessment worksheet shall also be prepared for a proposed
10.30action whenever material evidence accompanying a petition by not less than 100
10.31individuals who reside or own property in the state, submitted before the proposed
10.32project has received final approval by the appropriate governmental units, demonstrates
10.33that, because of the nature or location of a proposed action, there may be potential for
10.34significant environmental effects. Petitions requesting the preparation of an environmental
10.35assessment worksheet shall be submitted to the board. The chair of the board shall
10.36determine the appropriate responsible governmental unit and forward the petition to it.
11.1A decision on the need for an environmental assessment worksheet shall be made by
11.2the responsible governmental unit within 15 days after the petition is received by the
11.3responsible governmental unit. The board's chair may extend the 15-day period by not
11.4more than 15 additional days upon request of the responsible governmental unit.
11.5    (d) Except in an environmentally sensitive location where Minnesota Rules, part
11.64410.4300, subpart 29, item B, applies, the proposed action is exempt from environmental
11.7review under this chapter and rules of the board, if:
11.8    (1) the proposed action is:
11.9    (i) an animal feedlot facility with a capacity of less than 1,000 animal units; or
11.10    (ii) an expansion of an existing animal feedlot facility with a total cumulative
11.11capacity of less than 1,000 animal units;
11.12    (2) the application for the animal feedlot facility includes a written commitment by
11.13the proposer to design, construct, and operate the facility in full compliance with Pollution
11.14Control Agency feedlot rules; and
11.15    (3) the county board holds a public meeting for citizen input at least ten business
11.16days prior to the Pollution Control Agency or county issuing a feedlot permit for the
11.17animal feedlot facility unless another public meeting for citizen input has been held with
11.18regard to the feedlot facility to be permitted. The exemption in this paragraph is in
11.19addition to other exemptions provided under other law and rules of the board.
11.20    (e) The board may, prior to final approval of a proposed project, require preparation
11.21of an environmental assessment worksheet by a responsible governmental unit selected
11.22by the board for any action where environmental review under this section has not been
11.23specifically provided for by rule or otherwise initiated.
11.24    (f) An early and open process shall be utilized to limit the scope of the environmental
11.25impact statement to a discussion of those impacts, which, because of the nature or location
11.26of the project, have the potential for significant environmental effects. The same process
11.27shall be utilized to determine the form, content and level of detail of the statement as well
11.28as the alternatives which are appropriate for consideration in the statement. In addition,
11.29the permits which will be required for the proposed action shall be identified during the
11.30scoping process. Further, the process shall identify those permits for which information
11.31will be developed concurrently with the environmental impact statement. The board
11.32shall provide in its rules for the expeditious completion of the scoping process. The
11.33determinations reached in the process shall be incorporated into the order requiring the
11.34preparation of an environmental impact statement.
11.35    (g) The responsible governmental unit shall, to the extent practicable, avoid
