MPCA fines Little Falls paving business

After improperly controlling stormwater along an eight-mile construction project near Pine River, the Cass County Highway Department and Tri-City Paving of Little Falls will pay a $45,675 civil penalty fee.

According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the stormwater discharged into the ditches and wetlands due to missing sediment controls, failing erosion control berms, inadequate silt fencing and unstable ditches.
