Lawsuit tries to stop PFAS ban. Gas pipeline plan near Pipestone modified

A new lawsuit aims to stop Minnesota's ban on products that contain PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.”

And state regulators modified the permit conditions for a gas pipeline near a pipestone quarry, a site sacred to Indigenous people in the southwestern part of the state. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission pulled back from permitting a construction route agreed on in September.  Regulators now require Magellan Pipeline Company to work on an archaeological survey along two separate, possible routes.
