The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is proposing an increase in water quality permit fees. In addition to livestock operations, the permit costs would increase for city and industrial wastewater facilities and septic systems. MPCA claims many of these fees haven’t been adjusted in nearly 25 years. Farm groups who are criticizing the proposal want to see the money for MPCA to come from the general fund and not permit fees.
