Minnesota DNR solicits comments on Robbins Marsh project, as feds plan drawdown at Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge

The Minnesota DNR is accepting public comment through Feb. 7 on a proposed plan that would designate Robbins Marsh in Murray County – a popular regional waterfowling destination – as a wildlife lake.
State officials say the wildlife lake designation is important for shallow-lake management because it gives the DNR legal authority to use a water-control structure for temporary water-level drawdowns. The proposed project, if approved, would include building and operating such a structure.
