Reinforcing the enforcement

This afternoon, I'm going to the 2006 MPCA Enforcement Conference. I beat out other folks at the agency who wanted a seat there, so it must be a must-see. Never been there, but I'm told that the two-day conference is a good way to get to know how the MPCA works. It looks like the head of the stormwater program, Mark Schmitt, will give some updates ... enforcement coordinator Ken Moon will speak too.

As much as we work to be a partnering, collaborating and assisting agency (even more so with the merger with the Office of Environmental Assistance, which is now part of the Prevention and Assistance Division), the MPCA will always have to be a regulatory/enforcement agency.
