Our water, manoomin, fish, and Treaty-protected resources cannot wait another generation ❗

A new permit proposed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) would allow U.S. Steel’s Minntac up to 45 more years to comply with sulfate pollution limits. By then, our manoomin could be gone and our fish unsafe to eat.

This is not only a violation of our Treaty rights, but devastating to our resources, and a threat to our way of life.

Grand Portage is calling for stronger protections and a reasonable timeline.

CALL TO ACTION: Use your voice to protect our water! See the information below for how to submit a public comment on this issue by October 12.
