July 3, 2012 – The Pioneer Press reports on the Minnesota Department of Health finding that fish in the local area are safer to eat in an article titled “For 3M and for Anglers, Good News.” Prior findings had become an area of focus for local fishermen, state officials, and environmentalists.
3M is arguing against prior designations for local waterways that claim the water is “impaired.”
William. A. Brewer III said, “Based on this revised fish advisory for Pool 2, we believe the PCA will revise the drat Impaired Waters List.”
The article observes 3M has spent more than $100 million to clean the chemicals out of the water. It also installed filters for drinking water, among other things. The Press reports that “The efforts appear to be making a difference.”
