MDNR Stakeholders

Anyone with an interest in Missouri’s natural resources can become a stakeholder at MDNR.  MCNA started attending meetings and learning the new vocabulary at public meetings in 2018. When COVID hit in 2020, MDNR immediately set up a WebEx communication system. By eliminating travel time and expense, it’s proved much easier and energy efficient to participate in MDNR meetings. MDNR continues to provide these HYBRID meetings, a great service for Missourians.

MCNA is an advocate for protecting and improving water quality in our streams, rivers, lakes, and groundwater.  We participate as a stakeholder in the following MDNR meetings representing that view: 

• Water Protection Forum where stakeholders can request agenda items, and learn about the current issues the MDNR Water Protection Program is working on,
• Nonpoint Source Management (NPS) Forum highlights best management practices for reducing pollution from diverse sources that enter our waters through rain and snow runoff,
• Triennial Review: Water Quality Standards to develop and refine the standards used to evaluate the quality of state waters to determine if they are impaired by pollution,
• MDNR Stakeholder Workgroups is biannual update from the MDNR director, Dru Buntin.
