The Water Protection Forum is a workgroup made up of representatives from the department, industry (both public and private), professional consultants, environmental groups, regulatory agencies and citizens interested in water quality issues. The forum was designed to provide an opportunity to engage in discussion related to clean water topics. Department team members present on topics of interest to the group. Stakeholders or other members of the public may also provide presentations related to clean water or related topics.
Meetings
Meetings are held as needed and are open to everyone. Attendance at these meetings may be in person, by conference call or through Webex. The department will attempt to correct technical difficulties as they arise, but the department cannot guarantee the quality of the Webex or conference call option. The meeting will not be subject to change or repeat due to any technical difficulties.
If there are issues you would like to discuss during the meeting, you will need to notify the department before the meeting. Suggestions for discussion can be sent by email to waterprotectionforum@dnr.mo.gov. Individuals requiring special services or accommodations in order to attend a meeting can make arrangements by contacting the staff coordinator noted below at least 48 hours before the meeting. Hearing- and speech-impaired individuals may contact the staff coordinator through Relay Missouri at 800-735-2966. Translation or interpretation services will be provided upon request at no charge. Call 573-522-9395 for assistance.
