Long Prairie council agrees to pay $10,900 MPCA administrative penalty tied to contractor stormwater violations
Summary
Council authorized payment of a $10,900 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency administrative penalty related to contractor-controlled stormwater and construction violations; the city expects the contractor or city engineer to reimburse the city.
The Long Prairie City Council voted to pay an MPCA Administrative Penalty Order (APO) totaling $10,900 for violations tied to stormwater management and construction activities under a contractor's control. Council members said the contractor or the city engineer will reimburse the city for the penalty and ‘‘make the city whole again,’’ according to the minutes.
