the master matrix for animal confinements. Public comment on the petition will follow, with the DNR's recommendation following public comments.

After lunch, commissioners will hear public comments on remaining agenda topics and consider DNR's request for next year's budget. Several contracts and a final rule are also up for consideration.
At 2 p.m., the EPC has an appointment with Joel Thys of Belle Plaine and will consider a referral to the Attorney General for asbestos, open burning and solid waste violations.
