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.

Concurrently, the Forest Service announced it would cancel the environmental impact statement process that began as part of a land-exchange process with the DNR 10 years ago.
Bob Gwizdz: Most of Michigan’s Deer Management Initiative recommendations won’t help deer herd
I’ve spent a lot of time poring over the conclusions of the recently completed Deer Management Initiative, but I’ll be darned if I can see what the hours of effort, expended in that exercise, actually accomplished.
Most of the recommendations that came out of it are rehashes of ideas that have been floating around for years.
