SF 2101: Uphold implementation of wild rice water quality standards

The Omnibus Environment bill included a provision that would restrict the MPCA from enforcing water quality standards that protect wild rice beds from excess sulfide from mining operations. An amendment was offered to delete this restriction.

What Would Happen?

The MPCA continues to enforce the water quality standard for wild rice.

The MPCA is limited in its ability to protect wild rice from sulfide pollution.
