Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR)

A wastewater treatment plant in Leadwood is leaking human waste into the Big River. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' director says it's an "all-hands-on-deck operation" to address the problem.

In an election cycle dominated by taxes, voters will decide this August whether to renew a levy that funds Missouri’s parks system.

Programs like Missouri Stream Teams invite the public to participate in environmental research.

Naturalists say despite fixes to the system, wildlife downstream from it could still see adverse effects.

State residents may provide input for the state park's conceptual development plan.

The deer hunts help to safely prevent harm to the ecosystem

Rock Bridge Memorial State Park and Gans Creek Wild Area will be closed for a managed deer hunt on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4.

The City of Columbia has until Nov. 15 to submit a more specific stormwater plan to the state agency.

State officials say Missouri’s current standards, last revised in 1999, are based on outdated science.

The Department of Natural Resources set a Nov. 15 deadline for the city and local partners to submit a plan to address water quality.
