Administrative History
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) was officially created in 1991 by Executive Reorganization Order 91-4 and took over all committees and responsibilities of the Department of Water and Natural Resources (DWNR). In 1995, Executive Order 95-2 called for a number of changes to the Board of Minerals and Environment including complying with Federal Clean Air Act and additional requirements for members of the board.
In March 2021, Governor Noem issued an executive order that combined the DENR with the Department of Agriculture. The newly created Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources assumed all the duties and functions of its predecessors.
