Protecting and Conserving Minnesota’s Groundwater through Local Ordinances

Event Description

Remote Only Event. Online registration is closed. To register, email Tram Nguyen at tnguyen@mnbars.org or call 612-278-6316.

This CLE is co-sponsored by the Environmental, Natural Resources, and Energy Law Section and Freshwater .

Groundwater is vital to many Minnesota communities, supplying 75 percent of our state’s drinking water and 90 percent of agricultural irrigation. But how do local leaders protect and sustainably manage their water future when the availability and quality of groundwater can be impacted by activities far beyond city limits? Are there steps that can be taken at the local level, even with limited technical information? We would offer that local units of government and tribal nations need more robust ordinances to better manage shared water resources, especially groundwater. Join us for a panel that will provide transparency to the current system and offer opportunities for legal and policy improvements.

Panelists:

Ann McCammon Soltis, Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC)
John Noonan, Water 365
Jamie Konopacky, Stafford Rosenbaum LLP

Moderator :

Carrie Jennings, Freshwater
