New campaign aims to reduce pollution runoff, protect water and fish in SE Minnesota

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Department of Agriculture (MDA), and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) have launched a new public awareness campaign to help protect water quality and reduce pollution runoff in southern Minnesota. The campaign, which aims to educate residents and agricultural landowners by highlighting best management practices related to land applications, was prompted by recent incidents of fish kills in trout streams.

The geography of southeast Minnesota makes the region especially vulnerable to fish kills from pollution runoff. Understanding risk factors may help residents take proactive measures to minimize runoff to maximize soil value and reduce fish kills.

The campaign includes direct mail to agricultural landowners, radio spots, a news release [ [link removed] ], and digital media efforts to reach residents from eight counties in southeast Minnesota: Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Olmsted, Rice, Wabasha and Winona counties.

Community partners, agricultural groups, and other organizations are encouraged to download resources from an online toolkit that includes posters, social media graphics, and newsletter stories.

This campaign is funded by the Clean Water Fund, which enables the protection and restoration of Minnesota?s waters. Promotional support from water and agricultural partners will also extend the campaign efforts.

This communication campaign is one of several efforts Minnesota?s agencies are undertaking to reduce pollution from runoff.?
