All land within the project boundary must be retained and operated for outdoor recreation in perpetuity
and a condition of this requirement must be recorded with the deed using language provided in the grant

30 Capital Construction
Capital construction projects are defined as those with a total cost of $10,000 or more and must comply
with the language below.
A recipient of an appropriation from the trust fund who uses the appropriation to wholly or partially
construct a building, trail, campground, or other capital asset may not alter the intended use of the capital
asset or convey any interest in the capital asset for 25 years from the date the project is completed
without the prior review and approval of the commissioner or its successor. The commission shall
establish procedures to review requests from recipients to alter the use of or convey an interest in a
capital asset under this paragraph. These procedures must require that:
(1) the sale price must be at least fair market value; and
(2) the trust fund must be repaid a portion of the sale price equal to the percentage of the total
funding provided by the fund for constructing the capital asset.
The commissioner or its successor may waive these requirements by recommendation to the legislature if
the transfer allows for a continued use of the asset in a manner consistent with the original appropriation
purpose or with the purposes of the trust fund.
If both a capital asset and the real property on which the asset is located where wholly or partially
purchased with an appropriation from the trust fund and the commission approves a request to alter the
use of or convey an interest in the real property, a separate approval to alter the use of the capital asses is
not required.
31 Capital Construction Reporting
Minnesota Statute 116P.16 requires an annual verification to the LCCMR that property remains in the use
for the project to which the state appropriated money. By December 1 each year, a recipient of an
appropriation from the trust fund that is used for the construction of a building, trail, campground, or other
capital asset with a total cost of $10,000 or more must submit annual reports on the status of the real
property to the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources or its successor in a form

32 Restoration Plan <<if applicable>>
For restoration activities the grantee must use native plant species according to the Board of Water and Soil
Resources' native vegetation establishment and enhancement guidelines and include an appropriate
diversity of native species selected to provide habitat for pollinators throughout the growing season as
required under Minnesota Statutes, section 84.973.
For new land acquired, the Grantee must prepare an ecological restoration and management plan that, to the
degree practicable, is consistent with the highest quality conservation and ecological goals for the
restoration site. Consideration should be given to soil, geology, topography, and other relevant factors that
would provide the best chance for long-term success of the restoration project. The plan must include the
proposed timetable for implementing the restoration, including site preparation, establishment of diverse
plant species, maintenance, and additional enhancement to establish the restoration; identify long-term
maintenance and management needs of the restoration and how the maintenance, management, and
enhancement will be financed; and take advantage of the best available science and include innovative
techniques to achieve the best restoration, including sufficient funding for implementation unless the work
plan addresses why a portion of the money is not necessary to achieve a high-quality restoration.
