Minnesota Pollution Control Agency seeks comments on plan to curb pollution in state waters

State conservation and environmental groups – including Minnesota Trout Unlimited – are encouraging the public to comment on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s proposed changes to two feedlot permit rules designed to reduce nitrate pollution statewide.
These permits, directed at the state’s largest animal feedlots, ”regulate the discharge of pollutants from livestock production areas and restrict the volume of pollutants entering state waters via manure land application,” according to the MPCA. The public comment period, which includes MPCA-staffed educational forums to answer questions, runs through Aug. 9.
