Minnesota's top polluters

Of Minnesota's top polluters, I'm surprised that none of the worst 20 offenders are in North Minneapolis. The only local entry of note is across the river in northeast--Xcel Energy's Riverside Plant at 3100 Marshall Street NE--ranking tenth highest in the amount of chemicals it realeases into the environment. Here's the top 20 in ranking order:

Sherco Plant (Xcel Energy), Becker
Boswell Energy Center (Minnesota Power), Cohasset
Flint Hills Resources, Inver Grove Heights
3M Cottage Grove Center, Cottage Grove
Sappi Cloquet LLC, Cloquet
A.S. King Generating Plant (Xcel Energy), Bayport

CHS Oilseed Processing, Mankato
MN Soybean Processors, Brewster
Riverside Plant (Xcel), Minneapolis
