PCA leaves mine pollution battle to the courts
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency members vote unanimously to defer immediate action against Reserve Mining Co. in the Lake Superior pollution case. The agency will await air sample reports and keep water concerns in abeyance while a Justice Department suit seeks to halt 67,000 tons of tailings daily. Court action remains central to the dispute as asbestos fibers prompt ongoing studies and public pressure mounts from MEC CA and local groups seeking a shutdown.
