Haze Rules Revisited


A citizens board of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is taking another crack at approving rules meant to cut the haze that sometimes clouds the views at Voyageurs National Park and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.

The haze comes mostly from the state’s coal-fired power plants and taconite plants on the Iron Range.

The board was due to vote on the new rules last month, but held off because of concerns raised by Cliff Natural Resources.
