Fabcon Inc. has been slapped with a hefty fine for releasing sediment-laden storm water into a wildlife wetland in the Minnesota River Valley along the city’s northern border.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has fined the pre-cast concrete panel manufacturer with a $32,623 civil penalty and a $320,000 Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEP) directive. The company agreed to donate $20,000 to the Scott County chapter of Pheasants Forever to fund a wetland restoration project in the county. The other $300,000 will be put towards installing water-conservation equipment at the company’s site on Highway 13.
