MPCA Seeks Comments On PFC Cleanup

WOODBURY, Minn. (AP) ― The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency wants to hear from the public about a proposed plan to clean up contamination at a 3M disposal site in Woodbury.
  
The property has several former dump areas where the company legally disposed of manufacturing waste in the 1960s. The site is one of four suspected of contaminating drinking water in the eastern Twin Cities with perfluorochemicals, or PFCs.
  
The MPCA recommends continuing to use an existing groundwater pump-out system. Under the plan, 3M also would excavate soils that contain PFCs.
  
A public meeting on the plan will be held Thursday night at the Woodbury City Offices. The public comment period will end August 22.
