From the South Washington County Bulletin: [|3M dirt removal to start this month]

This story was in the South Washington Country Bulletin which usually has a bias towards helping South Washington County. I chose this article because the title caught my attention when I was looking through the website. I thought it was weird that 3M would move dirt for some random reason.

3M is planning on moving 19,000 cubic yards of soil to keep the contaminated soil contents from reaching our drinking water. I thought it was good that 3M was taking precautions actions on the safety of our drinking water. Usually you only hear about companies not acting until the water, food, etc. is already contaminated.
