## Resource

Minnesota’s pollution watchdog is launching a bold 20-year landfill reduction plan while cracking down on a hazardous waste violator—Higher Dimension Materials in Oakdale, fined $22,088 for unsafe waste storage, improper labeling, and lack of worker training. The company has since cleaned up the site and corrected labeling, earning MPCA approval. Since 2019, the agency has enforced 8,000 actions, collecting over $24 million to reinvest in environmental protection.
