JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is now accepting public comments on the draft 2028 Listing Methodology Document (LMD). The 2028 LMD outlines the procedures the department will follow to assess surface water quality and develop the 2028 Missouri 303(d) List of Impaired Waters. The working LMD is typically revised from the LMD of the previous assessment cycle with revisions largely based on public input.
The 60-day public comment period opened TODAY, Monday, June 15, 2026, and closes Friday, August 14, 2026.
The department will hold two public availability meetings related to the draft 2028 LMD during the public comment period. These meetings will be held virtually via Webex and in-person in the Gasconade Camp Conference Room at the Lewis and Clark State Office Building (1101 Riverside Drive, Jefferson City, MO 65101) on:
- Thursday, July 2, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon, and
- Friday, July 24, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon.
As noted above, a virtual option will be available for each meeting. Webex links and call-in information will be posted on the department’s Impaired Waters webpage for those wishing to join remotely.
