Dakota County has taken action to strengthen its water regulations after a company requested to export 500 million gallons per year to the southwest U.S., where water is scarcer.
Valerie Grover, Dakota County s groundwater protection supervisor, said at a Board of Commissioners hearing on Tuesday that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) was able to deny a 2019 request because state law prevents the DNR from exporting water from the Mount Simon-Hinckley aquifer unless it s needed for drinking water and there are no alternatives. However, Grover added that the DNR may not be able to block future requests, and it s unclear if a current bill in the state Legislature will pass.
