Wild Rice Sulfate Standard Open Houses

You are subscribed to Rulemaking: Sulfate Standard for Wild Rice for Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Some new information about this topic is now available.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) will be hosting three open houses on the wild rice sulfate standard rulemaking in January 2017.  The main purpose of the open houses is to provide the interested public with an opportunity to learn more about the MPCA's proposed approach for revisions to its wild rice sulfate water quality standard before the proposed rule goes out on public notice later in 2017. MPCA staff will be available at the open houses to provide information about the MPCA's proposed approach to protect wild rice from sulfate, the list of proposed wild rice waters, the rulemaking schedule and upcoming opportunities for public comment.

Additional information about the wild rice sulfate water quality standard is available on the MPCA's web page at the following link:
