Regulatory Task Force
Mission/Vision
The Regulatory Task Force mission is to examine the regulatory constraints to agricultural production and make recommendations that will:
- Make drainage projects cheaper and easier,
- Make farms safer during floods,
- Minimize the impact of mitigation actions on farm land, and
- Maintain the current level of environmental protections.
Recommendations might pertain to permit process improvements, interpretation and/or clarification of regulations, as well as technical and/or financial assistance. Code changes may be proposed for regulations that are inappropriate in an agricultural landscape or where the goal of the regulation could be achieved through an approach that has less of an impact on agriculture while still being protective of fish habitat. The work of the Task Force is expected to continue through June of 2020.
