What are the public noticing requirements for leasing of state land for mineral exploration?
The Administrative Rules require the DNR to publish a notice describing the general location of the lands recommended for leasing and the recommended classification in a newspaper available in the county where the lands are situated. The notice must be placed at least 30 days before the Director makes the final decision on the classification and authorizes the DNR to lease properties. In addition to the legal requirements, the DNR also sends a notice directly to all surface owners who have state-owned minerals underlying their surface. The notice provides general information on the leasing process and a contact for receiving property-specific information. A notice is also published in the DNRs monthly calendar of events, which is available on our web site.
