MN agency allegedly failed to take action against foundry that violated emissions laws for at least 5 years
Fox News
Minnesota regulators have reportedly failed to take legal action against Minneapolis-based Smith Foundry Co., despite at least five years' worth of air emissions violations.
But it wasn't until a surprise EPA inspection in May that federal regulators made demands that the company comply with air pollution laws.
"It’s such a breach of trust," said Joe Vital, who lives near the foundry. "The community has met for years with the MPCA asking them to inspect this facility. It’s just regulatory neglect."
