Process Begins for Public Waters Inventory

The Minnesota DNR has opened a 60-day review and comment period for its preliminary Public Waters Inventory maps. This process is meant to address errors identified since the 1990s and correct classification errors from the 2016 buffer protection map. Public meetings are scheduled for January 20 in Moorhead, January 22 in North Mankato, January 26 in Foley and January 28 in Aitkin. The Legislature has provided funding for the Public Waters Inventory update through 2032 with a goal of completing a dozen counties per year.
