"Minnesotans are strongly connected to the outdoors
and value a clean, healthy environment. At the Pollution Control
Agency, we've set aggressive environmental goals based on sound science
and the priorities established by our citizens. We're committed to
being accountable for what we achieve, and we're continually measuring
and reporting our progress so that every citizen can see the
environmental results associated with the work we, and others, are
doing to keep Minnesota a great place to live, work and play."
