The Board approved moving forward with a two‑part regulatory fee approach, with all parcels paying a flat administrative fee and Part 2 concepts focused on per‑cropped‑acre and managed‑wetland charges rather than total parcel size. Groundwater protection standards were strengthened by setting MTs to protect about 95% of domestic wells, with an estimated 38 wells and $1.14M in mitigation at MTs. The Board also directed staff to include managed wetlands/duck clubs in Part 2.
