Notice of Intent to Adopt Rules- Water Quality Standards Use Classifications 3 and 4

NOTICE OF HEARING

Proposed Amendments to Rules Governing Water Quality Standards, Minnesota Rules, chapters 7050 and 7053 and Repeal of Minnesota Rules, parts 7050.0410; 7050.0425; 7050.0430; and 7050.0450

The notice is available by visiting the MPCA Public Notice webpage; rule related documents can be viewed on the rulemaking webpage Amendments to Water Quality Standards: Use classifications 3 and 4.

Good afternoon –

Earlier today Commissioner Bishop and MPCA Tribal Liaison Helen Waquiu called tribal leaders to say thank you for your engagement and input during the development of the Class 3 and 4 water quality standards revisions and to provide an update on that work. This email is a follow up to those conversations. On Monday, December 14, the MPCA will publish in the State Register the notice of intent to adopt revisions to the Class 3&4 water quality standards. Although we know you continue to have concerns about the Class 3 and 4 amendments, your input has helped to shape the rule and documentation and improve it, specifically related to protection of aquatic life.

The state register notice will announce a hearing to be held in front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) on February 4, via WebEx. After the hearing, the public comment period will continue at the direction of the ALJ, who has told us she plans to have a 20-day post hearing comment period. We previously shared with you draft rule language and sections of the draft Statement of Need and Reasonableness (SONAR). Comments provided by Grand Portage and others on the drafts have further shaped them over the past few months. Attached to this email is a copy of the notice, the rule language, and the SONAR for the rule that will be available on MPCA’s website at https://www.pca.state.mn.us/water/amendments-water-quality-standards-use-classifications-3- and-4 on Monday. Official comments must be sent to the Office of Administrative Hearings. Their main comment site is: https://minnesotaoah.granicusideas.com/. We encourage you to submit comments to this formal process and to participate in the remote hearing on February 4. While we cannot hold meetings on this topic during the public comment period, we look forward to continuing to engage with you on other issues.

Thank you and be well, Katrina

Katrina Kessler, P.E. | Assistant Commissioner for Water Policy and Agriculture Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) 520 Lafayette Road | St. Paul, MN | 55155 Office Phone: (651) 757-2303 [email protected] | www.pca.state.mn.us

Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation Advisory Group updates recommended schedule for vaccine rollout Notice of Intent to Adopt Rules With Hearing- Water Quality Standards Use Classifications 3 and 4

Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation Advisory Group updates recommended schedule for vaccine rollout

Minnesota is currently vaccinating front line health care workers and residents of long term care facilities against COVID-19 (known as phase 1a of the vaccine rollout) and anticipates that phase of vaccinations to take through the end of January 2021. In the meantime the State is asking a COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation Advisory Group to help figure out how to fairly and equitably distribute the next doses of COVID-19 vaccine to:

Frontline essential workers and people age 75 years and older (referred to as "phase 1b"), and after that to People age 65-74 years, people age 16-64 years with high-risk medical conditions, and other essential workers (referred to as "phase 1c").

According to federal guidance, the “other essential workers” referenced in phase 1c would cover: workers in transportation and logistics, water and wastewater, food service, shelter and housing (e.g., construction), finance (e.g., bank tellers), information technology and communications, energy, legal, media, public safety (e.g., engineers), and public health workers.

The advisory group is made up of statewide representatives of leading care providers; bioethicists; state, local, and tribal public health representatives; health care associations; and people representing diverse community groups. The group is seeking public comment through Thursday, January 7, and is scheduled to meet Monday, January 11, to discuss the vaccination of the second priority group.

The advisory group provided input for how to distribute the very first vaccine doses that are going to health care workers and long-term care residents. That input can be found in Minnesota Guidance for Allocating and Prioritizing COVID-19 Vaccine – Phase 1a on COVID-19 Vaccine Phases and Planning.

“The size of these phases requires a coordinated effort to ensure we are getting the necessary information to key stakeholders, as well as identifying and quickly addressing potential areas of frustration and confusion among sectors,” says Katrina Kessler, MPCA assistant commissioner for Water Policy and Agriculture. “Additional details regarding the timing of the rollout for phases 1b and 1c will be shared when it becomes available.”

More information about the Vaccine Advisory Group can be found at the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) website.

wq-rule4-17p9(Cite 45 SR 573) Minnesota State Register, Monday 14 December 2020 Page 57358 Exhibit H Minnesota Rules: Amendments and Additions NOTICE: How to Follow State Agency Rulemaking in the State Register The State Register is the official source, and only complete listing, for all state agency rulemaking in its various stages. State agencies are required to publish notice of their rulemaking action in the State Register. Published every Monday, the State Register makes it easy to follow and participate in the important rulemaking process. Approximately 80 state agencies have the authority to issue rules. Each agency is assigned specific Minnesota Rule chapter numbers. Every odd-numbered year the Minnesota Rules are published. Supplements are published to update this set of rules. Generally speaking, proposed and adopted exempt rules do not appear in this set because of their short-term nature, but are published in the State Register.

An agency must first solicit Comments on Planned Rules or Comments on Planned Rule Amendments from the public on the subject matter of a possible rulemaking proposal under active consideration within the agency (Minnesota Statutes §§ 14.101). It does this by publishing a notice in the State Register at least 60 days before publication of a notice to adopt or a notice of hearing, or within 60 days of the effective date of any new statutory grant of required rulemaking.

When rules are first drafted, state agencies publish them as Proposed Rules, along with a notice of hearing, or a notice of intent to adopt rules without a hearing in the case of noncontroversial rules. This notice asks for comment on the rules as proposed. Proposed emergency rules, and withdrawn proposed rules, are also published in the State Register. After proposed rules have gone through the comment period, and have been rewritten into their final form, they again appear in the State Register as Adopted Rules. These final adopted rules are not printed in their entirety, but only the changes made since their publication as Proposed Rules. To see the full rule, as adopted and in effect, a person simply needs two issues of the State Register, the issue the rule appeared in as proposed, and later as adopted.

The State Register features partial and cumulative listings of rules in this section on the following schedule: issues #1-26 inclusive (issue #26 cumulative for issues #1-26); issues #27-52 inclusive (issue #52, cumulative for issues #27-52 or #53 in some years). A subject matter index is updated weekly and is available upon request from the editor. For copies or subscriptions to the State Register, contact the editor at 651-201-3204 or email at [email protected]

wq-rule4-17p9 59 Exhibit H Proposed Rules Comments on Planned Rules or Rule Amendments. An agency must first solicit Comments on Planned Rules or Comments on Planned Rule Amendments from the public on the subject matter of a possible rulemaking proposal under active consideration within the agency (Minnesota Statutes §§ 14.101). It does this by publishing a notice in the State Register at least 60 days before publication of a notice to adopt or a notice of hearing, and within 60 days of the effective date of any new statutory grant of required rulemaking.

Rules to be Adopted After a Hearing. After receiving comments and deciding to hold a public hearing on the rule, an agency drafts its rule. It then publishes its rules with a notice of hearing. All persons wishing to make a statement must register at the hearing. Anyone who wishes to submit written comments may do so at the hearing, or within five working days of the close of the hearing. Administrative law judges may, during the hearing, extend the period for receiving comments up to 20 calendar days. For five business days after the submission period the agency and interested persons may respond to any new information submitted during the written submission period and the record then is closed. The administrative law judge prepares a report within 30 days, stating findings of fact, conclusions and recommendations. After receiving the report, the agency decides whether to adopt, withdraw or modify the proposed rule based on consideration of the comments made during the rule hearing procedure and the report of the administrative law judge. The agency must wait five days after receiving the report before taking any action.

Rules to be Adopted Without a Hearing. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 14.22, an agency may propose to adopt, amend, suspend or repeal rules without first holding a public hearing. An agency must first solicit Comments on Planned Rules or Comments on Planned Rule Amendments from the public. The agency then publishes a notice of intent to adopt rules without a public hearing, together with the proposed rules, in the State Register. If, during the 30-day comment period, 25 or more persons submit to the agency a written request for a hearing of the proposed rules, the agency must proceed under the provisions of §§ 14.1414.20, which state that if an agency decides to hold a public hearing, it must publish a notice of intent in the State Register.

KEY: Proposed Rules - Underlining indicates additions to existing rule language. Strikeouts indicate deletions from existing rule language. If a proposed rule is totally new, it is designated “all new material.” Adopted Rules - Underlining indicates additions to proposed rule language. Strikeout indicates deletions from proposed rule language.

Proposed Amendments to Rules Governing Water Quality Standards, Minnesota Rules, chapters 7050 and 7053 and Repeal of Minnesota Rules, parts 7050.0410; 7050.0425; 7050.0430; and 7050.0450; Revisor’s ID Number 04335, OAH docket number 65-9003-37102

Overview. This notice is the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) legal notice of its intent to adopt amended water rules following a hearing. The purpose of these revisions, known as the Class 3 and 4 Water Quality Standards rule revisions, is to ensure that water quality standards (WQS) reflect the latest scientific understanding of how water quality affects the ability to use the water for industrial and agricultural purposes (or beneficial uses). The rule revisions also provide clarity around the implementation of the WQS, particularly in terms of how permit conditions are derived and applied to facilities that discharge to waters designated with these beneficial uses.

This notice provides you the opportunity to submit your comments on this rule to the Administrative Law Judge

Administrative Law Judge. ALJ Ann C. O’Reilly will conduct the hearing. Judge O’Reilly’s Legal Assistant, Lisa Armstrong, can be reached at the OAH, 600 North Robert Street, P.O. Box 64620, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0620, telephone 651-361-7888, and fax 651-539-0310. The rule hearing procedure is governed by Minnesota Statutes, sections 14.131 to 14.20, and by the rules of the OAH, Minnesota Rules, parts 1400.2000 to 1400.2240. You should direct questions about the rule hearing procedure to the ALJ.

Subject of Rules. The proposed revisions are to rules for water quality standards. Water quality standards (WQS) are foundational tools to protect water quality. They consist of beneficial uses – which identify how people, aquatic communities, and wildlife use waters – and linked numeric or narrative standards. Numeric standards set out amounts of specific pollutants allowed in a body of water that still protects it for the beneficial use, while narrative standards are statements of conditions in and on the water that must be either maintained or avoided in order to protect the beneficial use.

The proposed changes are to the WQS that protect water quality for use in industrial processes (Class 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D), in Minn. R. 7050.0223, and agriculture - crop irrigation (Class 4A), and livestock and wildlife watering (Class 4B), in Minn. R. 7050.0224. The purpose of this rule revision is to ensure that the standards reflect the latest scientific understanding of how water quality affects the ability to use the water for those industrial and agricultural purposes (or beneficial uses). The rule revisions also provide clarity around the implementation of the WQS, particularly in terms of how permit conditions are derived and applied to facilities that discharge to waters designated with these beneficial uses. Implementation procedures are found in Minn. R. ch. 7053.

Most of Minnesota’s WQS are expressed as numeric values. These numeric values establish levels of pollutants in the water that cannot be exceeded without potentially harming the ability of the water to attain its beneficial use. In many cases, numeric standards are appropriate. However, the diversity of water quality needs for industrial and irrigation use means that identifying protective numeric values for each potential pollutant necessary to protect various wide-ranging

Page 578 Minnesota State Register, Monday 14 December 2020 (Cite 45 SR 578) wq-rule4-17p9 63 Exhibit H Proposed Rules industrial and irrigation uses is unreasonable to complete on a statewide basis. Therefore, the main component of the changes to both the Class 3 and Class 4A WQS is a move away from the existing one-size-fits-all numeric standard to a narrative standard coupled with a robust implementation approach that takes advantage of available information and tools to implement the WQS as location-specific protective values. The revisions include specific procedures for implementation of each of these WQS through permit processes, with the procedures incorporated by reference into the rules.

In the case of the Class 4B WQS for wildlife and livestock watering, numeric values are appropriate and supported. Therefore the MPCA is proposing to update the Class 4B WQS to reflect current science and agricultural best practices, replacing the total salinity standard with a total dissolved solids standard, and adding sulfate and nitrate + nitrite standards.

The MPCA is also proposing various other changes to clarify the water quality standards, the uses they protect, and their implementation.

Comments. You and all interested or affected persons, including representatives of associations and other interested groups, will have an opportunity to participate. The administrative law judge will accept your comments either orally at the hearing or in writing at any time before the hearing record closes. Please submit written comments to the administrative law judge via the Office of Administrative Hearings Rulemaking eComments website at https://minnesotaoah.granicusideas.com/discussions. If it is not possible for you to use the eComments website, you may submit your written comments in person, by U.S. mail, or by fax to the judge using the contact information contained in the Administrative Law Judge section of this notice. Any comments or materials that you present or submit must relate to the proposed rules.

After the comment period ends, there is an additional five-working-day rebuttal period during which the MPCA and any interested person may respond in writing to any new information submitted. No one may submit additional evidence during the five-day rebuttal period.

All comments and responses must be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. on the due date. All comments or responses received are public and will be available for review at https://minnesotaoah.granicusideas.com/discussions.

You may learn more about the OAH Rulemaking eComments website, including step-by-step instructions and frequently asked questions at https://mn.gov/oah/forms-and-filing/ecomments/. Questions about submitting comments via the OAH Rulemaking eComments website should be directed to the OAH at 651-361-7900.

Please note that comments regarding the MPCA’s proposal must be sent to the ALJ. Comments sent to the MPCA alone will not be part of the rulemaking record. Comments submitted after the close of the comment period will not be accepted or considered part of the record.

Modifications. The MPCA may modify the proposed rules as a result of the rule hearing process. It must support modifications by data and views presented during the rule hearing process. The adopted rules may not be substantially different than these proposed rules, unless the MPCA follows the procedure under Minnesota Rules, part 1400.2110. The public is also advised that depending upon the comments received the MPCA may withdraw the proposed changes.

7050.0186 WETLAND STANDARDS AND MITIGATION.

Subpart 1. Policy and wetland beneficial uses. It is the policy of the state to protect wetlands and prevent significant adverse impacts on wetland beneficial uses caused by chemical, physical, biological, or radiological changes. The quality of wetlands shall must be maintained to permit the propagation and maintenance of a healthy community of aquatic and terrestrial species indigenous to wetlands,; preserve wildlife habitat, and; support biological diversity of the landscape; and be suitable for erosion control, groundwater recharge, low flow augmentation, storm water retention, and stream sedimentation. In addition, these waters shall must be suitable for boating and other forms of aquatic recreation as specified in part 7050.0222, subpart 6; general industrial use as specified in part 7050.0223, subpart 5 2; irrigation, and use by wildlife and livestock, erosion control, groundwater recharge, low flow augmentation, storm water retention, and stream sedimentation as specified in part 7050.0224, subpart 4 subparts 2 and 3; and aesthetic enjoyment as specified in part 7050.0225, subpart 2. [For text of subparts 1a to 6, see Minnesota Rules]

7050.0210 GENERAL STANDARDS FOR WATERS OF THE STATE. [For text of subparts 1 to 6c, see Minnesota Rules]

Subp. 7. Minimum stream flow. Point and nonpoint sources of water pollution shall be controlled so that the water quality standards will be maintained at all stream flows that are equal to or greater than the 7Q10 for the critical month or months, unless another flow condition is specifically stated as applicable in this chapter or chapter 7053.

Subp. 4. Adoption of USEPA national criteria. The USEPA establishes aquatic life and human health-based criteria under section 304(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, United States Code, title 33, section 1314. The USEPA criteria, subject to modification as described in this subpart, are applicable to class 2 waters of the state. The USEPA has described the national methods for developing aquatic life criteria in “Guidelines for Deriving Numerical National Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Aquatic Organisms and Their Uses.” USEPA criteria that vary with an ambient water quality characteristic such as total hardness or pH will be established for specific waters or reaches using data available to the commissioner. Central values such as the means or medians for the characteristic will be used unless there is evidence to support using different values. Values for water quality characteristics can be estimated for specific waters or reaches that have no data by using data from a nearby watershed with similar chemical properties. A. The USEPA aquatic life criteria are adopted unchanged by the agency, unless modified under item C, as the criteria applicable to designated class 2A waters in parts 7050.0420 and 7050.0470.

B. The USEPA criteria are adopted, subject to modification as described in this item or item C, for application to cool and warm water habitats and wetlands. Cool and warm water habitats (class 2Bd and 2B) are defined in part 7050.0430 7050.0415 or listed in part 7050.0470. Wetlands (class 2D) waters are defined in part 7050.0425 7050.0415 or listed in part 7050.0470. [For text of subitems (1) to (7), see Minnesota Rules] [For text of item C, see Minnesota Rules] [For text of subparts 5 to 10, see Minnesota Rules]

7050.0220 SPECIFIC WATER QUALITY STANDARDS BY ASSOCIATED USE CLASSES.

Subpart 1. Purpose and scope. The numeric and narrative water quality standards in this chapter prescribe the qualities or properties of the waters of the state that are necessary for the designated public uses and benefits. If the standards in this chapter are exceeded, it is considered indicative of a polluted condition which that is actually or potentially deleterious, harmful, detrimental, or injurious with respect to designated uses or established classes of the waters of the state. All surface waters are protected for multiple beneficial uses. Numeric water quality standards are tabulated in this part for all uses applicable to four common categories of surface waters, so that all applicable standards for each category are listed together in subparts 3a to 6a. The four categories are:

A. cold water aquatic life and habitat, also protected for drinking water: classes 1B; 2A, 2Ae, or 2Ag; 3A or 3B 3; 4A and 4B; and 5 (subpart 3a);

B. cool and warm water aquatic life and habitat, also protected for drinking water: classes 1B or 1C; 2Bd, 2Bde, 2Bdg, or 2Bdm; 3A or 3B 3; 4A and 4B; and 5 (subpart 4a);

C. cool and warm water aquatic life and habitat and wetlands: classes 2B, 2Be, 2Bg, 2Bm, or 2D; 3A, 3B, 3C, or 3D 3; 4A and 4B or 4C; and 5 (subpart 5a); and

D. limited resource value waters: classes 3C 3; 4A and 4B; 5; and 7 (subpart 6a).

Subp. 2. Explanation of tables. [For text of items A to C, see Minnesota Rules]

wq-rule4-17p9 66 Exhibit H Proposed Rules

D. The tables of standards in subparts 3a to 6a include the following abbreviations and acronyms:

AN means aesthetic enjoyment and navigation, class 5 waters * an asterisk following the FAV and MS values or double dashes (--) means part 7050.0222, subpart 7, item G, applies (c) means the chemical is assumed to be a human carcinogen CS means chronic standard, defined in part 7050.0218, subpart 3 DC means domestic consumption (drinking water), class 1 waters -- double dashes means there is no standard exp. () means the natural antilogarithm (base e) of the expression in parenthesis FAV means final acute value, defined in part 7050.0218, subpart 3 IC means industrial consumption, class 3 waters IR means agriculture irrigation use, class 4A waters LS means agriculture livestock and wildlife use, class 4B waters MS means maximum standard, defined in part 7050.0218, subpart 3 NA means not applicable (S) means the associated value is a secondary drinking water standard su means standard unit. It is the reporting unit for pH TH means total hardness in mg/L, which is the sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations expressed as

CaCO3 TON means threshold odor number

[For text of item E, see Minnesota Rules]

F. When two or more use classes have standards for the same pollutant, the most stringent standard applies pursuant to part 7050.0450. All surface waters are protected for class classes 3 and 6, but this class has these classes have no numeric standards so it is they are not included in the tables.

G. Certain waters are protected for wild rice, and a numeric standard for sulfates applies according to part 7050.0224, subpart 2. [For text of subpart 3, see Minnesota Rules]

Subp. 3a. Cold water aquatic life and habitat, drinking water, and associated use classes. Water quality standards applicable to use classes 1B; 2A, 2Ae, or 2Ag; 3A or 3B 3; 4A and 4B; and 5 surface waters. The water quality standards in part 7050.0222, subpart 2, that apply to class 2A also apply to classes 2Ae and 2Ag. In addition to the water quality standards in part 7050.0222, subpart 2, the biological criteria defined in part 7050.0222, subpart 2d, apply to classes 2Ae and 2Ag. A.

7Q10 for the critical month or months. [For text of items B and C, see Minnesota Rules]

D. Discharges of sewage, industrial waste, or other wastes must be controlled at the point where water is withdrawn for irrigation, so that the irrigation water quality standards in part 7050.0224, subpart 2, are maintained at all

stream flows that are equal to or greater than the 122Q10 calculated from flows during the growing season (June through September).

E. Discharges of sewage, industrial waste, or other wastes must be controlled at the point where water is withdrawn for industrial consumption, so that the industrial water quality standard in part 7050.0223, subpart 2, is maintained at all flows at or above the specified low flows considered under Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.285, subdivision 2, for consumptive appropriations.

D. F. Allowance must not be made in the design of treatment works for low stream flow augmentation unless the flow augmentation of minimum flow is dependable and controlled under applicable laws or regulations. [For text of subparts 8 to 13, see Minnesota Rules]

Subp. 2. Definitions. For the purposes of this part, the following definitions apply. Other relevant definitions are found in part 7050.0150, subpart 4.

A. “122-day ten-year low flow” or “122Q10” means the lowest average 122-day flow with a once in ten- year recurrence interval. A 122Q10 is derived using the same methods used to derive a 7Q10, and the guidelines regarding period of record for flow data and estimating a 7Q10 apply equally to determining a 122Q10 as described in part 7053.0135, subpart 3.

B. A. “Affects” means a measurable increase in the adverse effects of phosphorus loading as determined by monitoring or modeling, including, but not limited to, an increase in chlorophyll-a concentrations, a decrease in water transparency, or an increase in the frequency or duration of nuisance algae blooms, from an individual point source discharge.

C. B. “Expanded discharge” means a disposal system that after May 1, 2008, discharges more than 1,800 pounds of total phosphorus per year to a surface water on an annual average basis, and increases in wastewater treatment capacity as indicated by an increase in the:

(1) design average wet weather flow for the wettest 30-day period for point source dischargers of sewage with a continuous discharge, typically a mechanical facility;

(2) design average wet weather flow for the wettest 180-day period for point source dischargers of sewage with a controlled discharge, typically a pond facility; or

(3) design average daily flow rate for dischargers of industrial or other wastes.

D. C. “Lake” means an enclosed basin filled or partially filled with standing fresh water with a maximum depth greater than 15 feet. Lakes may have no inlet or outlet, an inlet or outlet, or both an inlet and outlet.

E. D. “Measurable increase” or “measurable impact” means a change in trophic status that can be discerned above the normal variability in water quality data using a weight of evidence approach. The change in trophic status does not require a demonstration of statistical significance to be considered measurable. Mathematical models may be used as a tool in the data analysis to help predict changes in trophic status.

F. E. “New discharge” means a discharge that was not in existence before May 1, 2008, and discharges more than 1,800 pounds of total phosphorus per year.

G. F. “Reservoir” means a body of water in a natural or artificial basin or water course where the outlet or flow is artificially controlled by a structure such as a dam. Reservoirs are distinguished from river systems by having a hydraulic residence time of at least 14 days. For purposes of this item, residence time is determined using a flow equal to the

122Q10 for the months of June through September, a 122Q10 for the summer months. “122Q10” has the meaning given in part 7053.0135, subpart 4b.

H. G. “Shallow lake” means an enclosed basin filled or partially filled with standing fresh water with a maximum depth of 15 feet or less or with 80 percent or more of the lake area shallow enough to support emergent and submerged rooted aquatic plants (the littoral zone). It is uncommon for shallow lakes to thermally stratify during the summer. The quality of shallow lakes will permit the propagation and maintenance of a healthy indigenous aquatic community, and they the shallow lakes will be suitable for boating and other forms of aquatic recreation for which they may be usable. For purposes of this chapter, shallow lakes will be differentiated from wetlands and lakes on a case-by-case basis. Wetlands are defined For purposes of this item, “wetlands” has the meaning given in part 7050.0186, subpart 1a. [For text of subparts 3 to 6, see Minnesota Rules]

wq-rule4-17p9 133 Exhibit H Executive Orders The governor has the authority to issue written statements or orders, called Executive Orders. as well as Emergency Executive Orders. The governor's authority is specified in the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, Article V, and in Minnesota Statutes § 4.035. Emergency Executive Orders, for protection from an imminent threat to health and safety, become effective immediately, are filed with the secretary of state, and published in the State Register as soon as possible after they are issued. Other Executive Orders become effective 15 days after publication in the State Register and filing with the secretary of state. Unless otherwise specified, an executive order expires 90 days after the date the governor who issued the order vacates office.

Office of the Governor Emergency Executive Order 20-104: Safely Reopening Pools for Lap Swim, Lessons, and Organized Swim Teams

I, Tim Walz, Governor of the State of Minnesota, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and applicable statutes, issue the following Executive Order:

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present an unprecedented and rapidly evolving challenge to our State. Minnesota has taken extraordinary steps to prevent and respond to the pandemic. On March 13, 2020, I issued Executive Order 20-01 and declared a peacetime emergency because this pandemic, an act of nature, threatens the lives of Minnesotans, and local resources are inadequate to address the threat. Since declaring the peacetime emergency in March, I have extended it every 30 days, with the most recent extension occurring on December 14, 2020.

We are over one month into a dial back period on certain social gatherings, sports activities, and places of public accommodation that were instituted to combat an overwhelming statewide surge of COVID-19 cases. Last week, as daily case numbers slowly began to decrease, we made some adjustments to the dial back with Executive Order 20-103. Those adjustments were intentionally small and gradual because case numbers and community transmission remain at dangerous levels. We provided opportunities for families and friends to gather socially in small groups with increased precautionary measures, and for restaurants and venues to begin a slow reopening, starting with outdoor spaces. In addition, recognizing the physical and mental toll of COVID-19 restrictions, we allowed indoor physical fitness and exercise facilities to reopen with reduced capacity, increased social distancing, and mandatory face coverings.

Many athletes are eager to return to organized sports activities, which similarly provide many physical and social benefits. Executive Order 20-103 permitted athletes and coaches to resume one-on-one training and small outdoor group workouts and skill building. When I announced that Executive Order, I also signaled my intention to take additional steps toward the return of organized sports in early January. This Executive Order reopens pools for a narrow range of activities in compliance with industry guidance—including lap swim, lessons, and organized sports—beginning on January 4, 2021.

In Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 12.02, the Minnesota Legislature conferred upon the Governor emergency powers to “(1) ensure that preparations of this state will be adequate to deal with disasters, (2) generally protect the public peace, health, and safety, and (3) preserve the lives and property of the people of the state.” Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 12.21, subdivision 1, the Governor has general authority to control the state’s emergency management as well as carry out the provisions of Minnesota’s Emergency Management Act.

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 12.21, subdivision 3(7), authorizes the Governor to cooperate with federal and state agencies in “matters pertaining to the emergency management of the state and nation.” This includes “the direction or control of . . . the conduct of persons in the state, including entrance or exit from any stricken or threatened public place, occupancy of facilities, and . . . public meetings or gatherings.” Pursuant to subdivision 3 of that same section, the Governor may “make, amend, and rescind the necessary orders and rules to carry out the provisions” of the Emergency Management Act. When approved by the Executive Council and filed in the Office of the Secretary of State, such orders and rules have the force and effect of law during the peacetime emergency. Any inconsistent rules or ordinances of any agency or political subdivision of the state are suspended during the pendency of the emergency.
