Twin Cities Plant Completes Testing On New Pollution Control Equipment

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Twin Cities plant that released a toxic chemical into the air for years has completed testing of its new pollution control equipment.

After being given two extensions, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency said it would fine the company $500 a day until the testing was done. That total fine will be $5,500.

The results will be sent to the MPCA and should be available next week. Then, next steps will be determined.
