Destroying "forever chemicals" in wastewater from sewage treatment and landfills in Minnesota could cost at least $14 billion, and potentially up to $28 billion, over two decades, according to a first-ever estimate released Tuesday.

The report was...

KABETOGAMA LAKE — When researchers at the Voyageurs Wolf Project first captured video of wolves catching and eating fish out of a small stream back in 2017, they thought it was probably a unique occurrence. Now, upon further research, the biologists have found that many wolves across their Northland range likely target and catch fish in the spring — a good source of protein at just the right time of year when other food is not abundant. In a study published in the May issue of the journal Royal Society Open , the wolf project scientists fou...

The MPCA commissioned the independent study as part of Minnesota’s PFAS Blueprint, a comprehensive interagency plan to p...
