Kansas City, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) removes all known hazards such as old water wells before opening lands for public uses such as hunting or fishing.

Anyone who finds a hand-dug well or an abandoned drilled well on a conservation area managed by MDC is asked to contact their local MDC office.
