MCEA Moves

After 27 years, MCEA is moving! Our old home is being renovated as a hotel, and we've moved to 1919 University Ave. W, Suite 515, St. Paul, MN 55104. Emails and phone numbers remain unchanged. We're on the Green Line, partially powered by solar, and in an Energy Star building.

MCEA takes action on PolyMet's Draft Permit

On March 6th, the PolyMet draft permit to mine public input period closed. As PolyMet is proposing the first copper-nickel sulfide ore mine in Minnesota history, MCEA is leading an effort to ensure that people who live downstream, Minnesota's water, and Minnesota taxpayers are protected. MCEA hosted a petition to the Minnesota DNR that resulted in 2,350 public comments that were delivered in person. In addition, we submitted detailed scientific and legal analysis of PolyMet's proposal and the draft permit. 




Read the MCEA and allied conservation groups comment to the Minnesota DNR on the PolyMet draft permit to mine (February 28, 2018)
Read the MCEA and allied conservation groups petition to the Minnesota DNR for a full hearing prior to a decision on the PolyMet draft permit to mine (March 6, 2018) 
Read the MCEA and allied conservation groups supplemental petition to the Minnesota DNR for a full hearing, based on new documents and PolyMet's revised financial feasibility study (April 6, 2018)
