Border Concerns


The United States Environmental Protection Agency has voiced some concern with plans to construct new border facilities in International Falls.

In a review of the project's draft Environment Impact Statement, the EPA is worried about the impact from storm-water runoff and hazardous materials spills during the construction phase will have on the Rainy River.

It's asked the General Services Administration to identify protective measures before identifying a preferred location.
