BEMIDJI , Minn. (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency has ordered the owner of a contaminated site in Cass Lake to come up with a permanent cleanup plan.
Ever since the St. Regis Paper Company plant was shut down in 1985, government agencies have been trying to figure out how to clean up the site. Under the state’s Superfund law, tons of soil have been removed, and wells and extraction systems have been installed to clean contaminated groundwater.
FYI: Even a $5.00 donation will supply our office with all it's paper needs for a week!
