Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Water Quality
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is a state agency dedicated to safeguarding the environment and promoting sustainable practices in Minnesota. With a focus on preventing and reducing pollution of air, land, and water, the MPCA works collaboratively with various stakeholders, including businesses, governments, organizations, and tribal nations, to develop innovative approaches that protect natural resources, improve human health, and foster economic growth. Committed to environmental justice, the MPCA strives to ensure that all communities, including Black, Indigenous, communities of color, and low-income residents, have access to a healthy environment and fair treatment in the development and enforcement of environmental laws and policies. Through its seven divisions, the MPCA addresses pollution exposure disparities, conducts assessments and cleanups, regulates animal feedlots, monitors air and water quality, administers grants for recycling and pollution prevention, and oversees permitting and compliance for industrial and municipal facilities.Generated from the website
