Join MNAEP for a timely and insightful virtual lunchtime presentation by Brian Bell of Dorsey & Whitney LLP, who will unpack the complex, multi-jurisdictional landscape of mine permitting in Minnesota.

Presentation Overview:
The regulation of mining in Minnesota is as layered as the State’s geology. Mining projects can, and often do, involve oversight by federal, state, and local authorities—each with its own laws, politics, and procedures. Adding to this complexity is the involvement of multiple agencies at each level of government. This presentation will explore the legal and practical implications of overlapping jurisdictions, with a focus on how recent federal policy shifts under the Trump Administration have further complicated the regulatory environment.
