Clean Water Webinar: Advocacy Ignites Action to Address Nitrate in Southeast Minnesota Groundwater
In April 2023, environmental and public health groups in Minnesota asked the United States Environmental Protection Agency to use its emergency authority to address concerning nitrate levels in the groundwater of Southeast Minnesota. In response, the EPA called upon Minnesota agencies to make a plan and take accelerated action to address this public health concern. In this Clean Water Webinar, learn from Carly Griffith and Leigh Currie of the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy about the petition process, the EPA’s response, and the outlook for the future.
