The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has fined American Crystal Sugar Company $350,000 for violating air quality standards at its East Grand Forks plant. The investigation centered on issues that happened between 2020 and 2022. The Polk-Norman-Mahnomen Community Health Board will receive 40 percent of the $350,000 penalty. A statute that went into effect last year requires a portion of the penalties to be made to community health boards in the area where violations happened. This is the first case that meets the criteria.
