The McLeod County Board of Commissioners adopted its buffer zone ordinance after a public hearing Tuesday morning. Having an ordinance in place will allow the county to administer the state’s buffer zone regulations, rather than having the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources or the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) administer them.
County Administrator Pat Melvin said the county’s proposed ordinance was drafted by the Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and the county’s planning and zoning department, and is based on a sample ordinance provided by BWSR.
