Wild Rice Sulfate Study: Summary and next steps [Minnesota Pollution Control Agency]

In 2010, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) initiated a multi-year effort to clarify implementation of the state's wild rice sulfate standard. Based on a review of available information, the MPCA determined that additional studies were needed to evaluate the effects of sulfate on wild rice production. In 2011 the Minnesota Legislature provided direction, and funding from the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, to gather this additional information.
