Join experts from the MPCA to learn more about the draft wastewater permit reissuance for the 3M facility in Cottage Grove. This draft permit, one of the most rigorous in state history, adds new water quality protections for the Mississippi River and mandates the removal of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to levels below detection. It is on public notice from Dec. 18 - Feb. 3. This meeting will be held virtually, and there will be time for questions following a brief presentation.
