3M's Cottage Grove neighbors dig in for fight over incinerator emissions
3M wants permission to burn industrial waste from other companies, as well as its own, at its Cottage Grove incinerator.

But a group of neighbors is gearing up for a fight at this month's MPCA meeting, saying "pollution for profit" should not be approved.
