Sandbags go from public asset to public headache
As the Mississippi River crest receded, 180000 tons of sand filled over 9 million bags in Illinois to Minnesota to fortify levees. Now soaked, polluted bags pose cleanup challenges with limited volunteer help and no uniform federal guidance. Illinois will assist small communities. Minnesota plans local disposal.
