The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) requested assistance from the United States Environmental Protection Agency in their efforts to evaluate the potential for ground water impacts at composting facilities. The Federal project partners include staff members from the Central Regional Laboratory in Chicago and the Office of Research and Development in Cincinnati. The Federal project partner’s role is to ensure the MPCA and their partner, Carver County, obtain representative ground water samples at both a yard waste and a source separated compost site and receive appropriate analysis and results from those samples.
