Buffer Initiative Update
WOT SWCD Manager Brad Mergens reported that when Otter Tail County approved the Buffer Initiative in
2014, 1,100 parcels were identified that were potentially out of compliance. Governor Dayton signed the
State Buffer law in June of 2015. Discussion took place regarding notices that have been provided to
property owners, funding available to obtain compliance, and the State requirement to monitor the Buffer
plan over a three-year period and report back to the County Board. If a complaint is received, the SWCD
will be responsible to validate the complaint. County offices; i.e. Land & Resource and County Attorney,
cannot proceed unless the SWCD has issued a corrective action. Generally, as long as property owners
are working with the SWCD to become compliant, they will be considered compliant under the law.
