“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men, or greedy interests, skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”

*April 15 - EQB Mtg - carpool arrangements etc.

Hi folks,

LSP will not be renting a bus for this event.

 I will work to arrange carpools, though, and there is a possibility we could rent a van if enough people want to go together. I plan to go and could drive, but can only take 3 other people in my car. Please let me know if you would be interested in carpooling from either Lewiston or Winona.

Here is the link to the EQB packet with the agenda for the meeting and the current draft proposed rules: https://www.eqb.state.mn.us/sites/default/files/documents/EQB%20Silica%20Sand%20Subcomittee%20Mtg_4-15.pdf 

Bobby will be sharing LSP's comments on the proposed rules soon -- there are several areas where we think improvements are needed. If you would like any help preparing your comments for the meeting, feel free to give Bobby a call at 612-722-6377.

EQB staff confirmed to me today [April 7] that Minnesota Sands, LLC, still has not submitted any new data about their proposal, and so will not be presenting at this meeting. Instead, the entire meeting will be state agency updates on the rulemaking and then public comment.

Please let me or Bobby know if you have questions.

Thanks,
Johanna
