The Missouri DNR has proposed expanding water quality regulations into smaller streams. The proposed change would place standards on approximately 100,000 miles of streams that up to now have been regarded as “unclassified”. The amended rules may result in expanded programs to control pollutants normally associated with agricultural practices, such as nutrients, ammonia, sediments and bacteria. The DNR has asked for OPRC involvement in discussions of the proposed regulations. More information at this web address:
http://www.dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp/cwforum/adv-uncl-waters-wetlands.htm This website also has information about the DNR meetings scheduled on this subject.
We will discuss what DNR officials had to say about the proposed regulations when they met with OPRC in Mountain Grove on February 26. (You can read c. Russell Wood’s article on the meeting in the Water Issues portion of the PRC website).
DNR has cancelled the meeting scheduled for March 19 in Jefferson City.
