As the MPCA celebrates 50 years, the variety and complexity of environmental problems has changed, however our vision remains the same: Clean water, air and land support healthy communities and ecosystems, and a strong economy in Minnesota.
2017 marked the 50th anniversary of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. While our knowledge and technology have changed over the past 50 years, our purpose has remained the same — to protect and improve the environment and human health. Take a look back at the work of the agency.
