Action: The
Board will consider a proposed concept to change the MPWMD Rules &

wells. The Board will provide policy direction to staff on the degree
of regulation appropriate for different situations, which will be used to
prepare a new ordinance and environmental review for consideration in early
2014. This effort responds to the Board’s April 2013 direction to make
the WDS permit process more streamlined and reduce duplication. Public
