3.1 Jurisdiction. The provisions of this ordinance apply to all waters, including public drainage systems for
which the County is not the drainage authority under Minn. Stat. chapter 103E, shown on the buffer
protection map.
4.0 BUFFER REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Buffer width. Except as provided in subsection 4.4 and 4.5, a landowner owning property adjacent to a
water body identified on the buffer protection map must establish and maintain a buffer area as follows:
(a) For waters shown on the buffer protection map requiring a fifty (50) foot width buffer, the buffer
width will be fifty (50) foot average and thirty (30) foot minimum width as provided in Minn. Stat.
§103F.48, subd. 3 and as measured according to subsection 4.2; and
(b) For waters shown on the buffer protection map requiring a sixteen and a half (16.5) foot minimum
width buffer, the buffer width will be sixteen and a half (16.5) feet as provided in Minn. Stat. §103F.48,
subd. 3 and as measured according to subsection 4.2 (or a more restrictive width as determined locally).
4.2 Measurement.
(a) The width of any required buffer on land adjacent to a water requiring a fifty (50) foot average width
and a thirty (30) foot minimum width buffer shall be measured from the top or crown of the bank. Where
there is no defined bank, measurement must be from the edge of the normal water level as provided in
Minn. Stat. §103F.48, subd. 3(c).
(b) The width of any required buffer on land adjacent to a water requiring a sixteen and a half (16.5) foot
minimum width buffer shall be measured in the same manner as for measuring the vegetated grass strip

4.3 Use of buffer area. Except as provided in sections 4.4 and 4.5 a buffer as defined in this ordinance may
not be put to any use, included but not limited to cultivation farming, which would remove or prevent the
permanent growth of perennial vegetation.
4.4 Exemptions. The requirement of section 4.1 does not apply to land that is exempted from the water
resources riparian protection requirements under Minn. Stat. §103F.48, subd. 5.
4.5. Alternative practices. As provided in Minn. Stat. §103F.48, subd. 3(b) an owner of land that is used for
cultivation farming may demonstrate compliance with subsection 4.1 by establishing and maintaining an
alternative riparian water quality practice(s), or combination of structural, vegetative, and management
practice(s) which provide water quality protection comparable to the water quality protection provided
by a required buffer as defined in sections 4.1 to 4.3. The adequacy of any alternative practice allowed
under this section shall be based on:
(a) the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Field Office Technical Guide (FOTG);
(b) common alternative practices adopted and published by BWSR;
(c) practices based on local conditions approved by the SWCD that are consistent with the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Field Office Technical Guide (FOTG); or
(d) other practices adopted by BWSR.
4.6 Grandfathering. Where the provisions of any statute, other ordinance or regulation imposes greater
restrictions than this ordinance, the provisions of such statute, other ordinance or regulation shall be
controlling. Parcels grandfathered in for other preexisting land uses shall not be grandfathered in with
respect to these provisions and with respect to compliance with the Buffer Law, Minn. Stat. § 103F.48.
5.0 COMPLIANCE DETERMINATIONS
5.1 Compliance determinations. Compliance with the buffer requirements set forth in section 4 will be
determined by the SWCD on a parcel by parcel basis. The compliance status of each bank, or edge of a
waterbody on an individual parcel will be determined independently.
5.2 Investigation and notification of noncompliance. When the County identifies a potential noncompliance
with the buffer requirements or receives a third party complaint from a private individual or entity, or
from another public agency, it will consult with the SWCD to determine the appropriate course of action
to document compliance status. This may include communication with the landowner, inspection or
other appropriate steps necessary to verify the compliance status of the parcel. On the basis of the
evidence gathered in this process, the SWCD may issue a Notification of Noncompliance to the County. If
the SWCD does not issue such a Notification, the County will not pursue a compliance or enforcement
action under Minnesota Statutes §103F.48 and subsection 6.2.
At any time during process set forth in 5.2 and 5.3, the landowner may provide documentation of
compliance to the SWCD.
5.2.1 Compliance determination. The SWCD will evaluate the available documentation, and/or evaluate
and/or inspect the buffer and/or alternative practices to determine if the parcel is in compliance. Upon
completion of the evaluation and/or inspection the SWCD shall issue a written compliance determination
to the landowner, the County and BWSR. The SWCD may also issue a Validation of Compliance if
applicable and requested by the landowner.
5.3 Corrective Action Notice. On receipt of an SWCD Notification of Noncompliance, the County will issue the
landowner a Corrective Action Notice that will:
(a) include a list of corrective actions needed to come into compliance with the requirements of Minn.
Stat. §103F.48;
(b) provide a timeline for complying with the corrective action notice;
(c) provide a compliance standard against which the County will judge the corrective action; and
(d) include a statement that failure to respond to this Notice may result in the assessment of criminal, civil
or administrative penalties.
The County may send the landowner a combined Corrective Action Notice and APO as provided in section
6.2 so long as the combined Notice/APO includes all the required elements of both.
The County shall transmit the Corrective Action Notice by either personal service to the landowner or by
depositing the same in the U.S. Mail. If service is made by U.S. mail, the document is deemed received
three business days after the notice was placed in the U.S. mail. Failure of actual receipt of a Corrective
Action Notice that has either been personally served or served by depositing the same in the U.S. Mail
shall not be deemed a defense in an enforcement proceeding under section 6.0. The County shall also
send a copy of the Notice to the SWCD and BWSR.
Counties may modify the corrective actions and timeline for compliance, in accordance with section 5.2,
to extend the compliance timeline for a modification that imposes a substantial new action or significantly
accelerates the completion date for an action.
5.3.1 At any time after receipt of a Corrective Action Notice, the landowner may provide
documentation of compliance to the County. In addition, the landowner may supply information
to the County or the SWCD in support of a request to modify a corrective action or the timeline
for compliance. On the basis of any such submittal or at its own discretion, the County may make
a written modification to the Corrective Action Notice or timeline for compliance. The County
should also make a written determination documenting whether the noncompliance has been
fully corrected. Any such modification of a compliance determination will be served on the
landowner in the manner provided for in section 5.3. The County shall provide the SWCD and
BWSR a written copy of any modification made pursuant to this provision.
5.3.2 The SWCD may, after an evaluation of the evidence documenting compliance submitted by the
landowner, issue a written Validation of Compliance if requested by the landowner. Upon receipt
by the County of a written compliance determination issued by the SWCD, the Corrective Action
Notice will be deemed withdrawn for the purpose of section 6.0, and the subject property will not
be subject to enforcement under that section.
6.0 ENFORCEMENT
6.1 Failure to comply with a Corrective Action Notice issued under section 5.
The County may, at its own discretion, elect to pursue the failure to comply with a Corrective Action Notice
either criminally or through an administrative penalty order as set forth herein.
(a) Failure to comply with a Corrective Action Notice issued under section 5 constitutes a misdemeanor and
shall be punishable as defined by law.
(b) The County may issue an APO as provided for in Minn. Stat. §§103F.48, subd. 7(b) and (c) and 103B.101,
subdivision 12a to a landowner who has failed to take the corrective action set forth in the Corrective Action
Notice. For the APO to be effective it must be served on the landowner together with a copy of the Corrective
Action Notice or alternatively the County may serve the landowner with a combined Corrective Action Notice
and APO so long as the combined Notice/APO includes all the elements of both. Service is effective either by
personal service or by depositing the documents set forth herein in the U.S. Mail. Any penalty assessed in the
APO shall continue to accrue until the violation is corrected as provided in the Corrective Action Notice and

alleged violations was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered by the County.
According to Minn. Stat. §541.07, the County has two years in which to commence an APO action
after the date the violation is discovered. The goal is to complete the action as soon as reasonably
practical, recognizing that situations for which data must be gathered, field investigations must be
completed and/or modeling must be performed will require adequate time to complete the work and
communicate with the landowner involved.
6.3.2 Compliance verification. Once a landowner has submitted written evidence of correction of
the violation set forth in the notice of compliance, compliance must be verified. The County will:
i. Review and evaluate all information related to the APO to determine if the violation has been
corrected;
ii. Verify compliance by site visit, re-inspection, examination of documentation, or other means
as may be reasonable under the facts of the case; and
iii. Document compliance verification.
The County may consult with the SWCD when conducting a compliance verification.
6.3.3 Right to appeal. Within 30 days after receipt of the APO, a landowner may appeal the terms
and conditions of an APO issued by a County to BWSR as provided in Minn. Stat. §103F.48, subd. 9.
The appeal must be in writing and must include a copy of the APO that is being appealed, the basis for
the appeal and any supporting evidence. The appeal may be submitted personally, by U.S. mail, or
electronically, to the Executive Director of BWSR.
6.3.4 Penalty due. Unless the landowner appeals the APO as provided in section 6.3.3 the penalty
specified in the APO becomes immediately due and payable to the County as set forth in the APO. If,
however, the landowner submits written documentation that the violations has been corrected prior
to the time the penalty becomes due and payable the County shall verify compliance and adjust the
penalty to an amount the landowner would have owed had the penalty been paid on the date the
landowner submitted written documentation of compliance. Written documentation of compliance
may include a written validation of compliance issued by the SWCD.
However, if the County determines the violation was not fully corrected, the County shall notify the
landowner by issuing a written letter of determination and depositing it in the U.S. Mail. Any
determination sent by U.S. Mail shall be deemed received three business days after the letter of
determination has been deposited in the U.S. Mail. The landowner shall have an additional 20 days
after receipt of the letter of determination to pay the penalty or the time period specified in the APO
as issued, whichever is later. The penalty will continue to accrue until the violation is corrected as
provided in the Corrective Action Notice and APO.
6.3.5 Referral for collection of penalty. All penalties and interest assessed under an APO must be
paid by the landowner within the time specified in this section. All payments shall be made payable to
the County. Any penalty or interest not received in the specified time may be collected by the County
using any lawful means.
