The inactive Flying Cloud Landfill in Eden Prairie, Minnesota has leaks and needs a new cover. We first noted the situation in early October 2009. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) intends to fully take over the site and install a new geosynthetic cover system to provide permanent, dependable containment for what is an old, unlined facility. Up to $15 million may be allocated to ensure proper environmental protection.
