Wild Rice Sulfate Standard (updated)

Wild rice is important to the culture and the industry of the state of Minnesota. Although several states have state grains, Minnesota is the only state with wild rice as the state grain.

Decades ago, a state research scientist noted a negative correlation between natural stands of wild rice and the presence of sulfates in surface water. Sulfates occur from natural processes but also are concentrated in the discharge from industrial facilities. A wild rice sulfate standard was adopted by Minnesota in 1973 limiting sulfate concentrations in wild rice producing waters.

In recent years, the wild rice sulfate standard has come under fire for being unnecessarily stringent. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) began evaluating the standard in 2010; in 2011 the Minnesota Legislature provided funding to further evaluate the effects of sulfate on wild rice.

The MPCA has released several reports as a result of the legislation—a research plan in 2011, a study issued earlier this year, and a preliminary analysis released earlier this month. A separate analysis of the data was issued by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce in February. The reports are part of an ongoing process to understand the effects of sulfate on wild rice. The MPCA plans further data analysis, discussion with stakeholders, a scientific peer review of the study, and, if necessary, revision of the sulfate standard.

Recent reports on wild rice sulfate standards:
