Suggesting a Change to a Natural Resources Rule

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wants to improve its rules to meet Minnesota's environmental goals. If you have a suggestion to change an existing environmental rule or to develop a new rule, we want to hear about it.

What We're Looking For

We are interested in suggestions about state natural resources rules that will:

  • Produce better natural resources results
  • Streamline processes
  • Clarify confusing rule language
  • Eliminate or revise outdated or obsolete rules
