12th Minnesota Town Says “NO” to Coal Tar Sealants


 

Tonight the City of Inver Grove Heights passed a ban of coal tar pavement sealants.   With over 578 stormwater ponds that collect this toxic sediment, the City is now eligible to receive state grants to assist in the costs of disposal of the dredged pond material.  This is a huge problem throughout the Minneapolis region and probably throughout the country.  Congratulations to the people of Inver Grove Heights!
