The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is considering a request for a metallic mineral lease amendment. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has authority to negotiate metallic mineral leases under circumstances that are described in Minnesota Rule 6125.0600. All state metallic mineral leases, including negotiated leases, must be approved by the State Executive Council (Minnesota Rule 6125.0600). The GIS requested areas for lease are mapped to the PLS forty and government lot. When there is no match to the PLS forty or government lot in the PLS40 layer, a record is then matched to the PLS section layer. These layers merge the DNR Control Point Generated PLS layer (PLS40) with land records stored in the DNR's Land Record System (LRS) in Oracle. The data are limited to a forty, government lot, or section level representation. Attribute data has been added regarding DNR's section level environmental and land use screening.
